    Both were live on Talksport today, BJS proposed a £100,000 Charity bet that the loser must pay and Eubank Jr agreed to it. Whether it happens or not is another matter but would add to what is already a MUST WATCH fight.

     I would add that i think just like his dad did with many of his opponents, Jr is getting inside BJS's head and could get him to fight more aggressively then normal which would play into Eubank jr's counter punching style.

    Yeah BJS never came across well, interrupting Eubank constantly with his big mouth.

    Eubank remained calm throughout - Eubank's gonna stop him late.

    I think you're right.

    All the pressure is on BJS and he seems to be mentally falling to pieces. I bet the Eubank's took the fight this weekend just to show BJS they are in charge, not him.

    I'm liking Eubank jr more and more, he has the right kind of mental make-up to go all the way and doesen't need to make ridiculous statements.

    This fight is reminding me of the first Benn-Eubank fight where Nigel did all the talking and threats and Eubank just kept his cool which made Benn even more furious.

    Good point regarding Benn-Eubank.

    I also think BJS has stamina issues hence why I reckon Eubank gets him in the late rounds. Ryder had a big last 2 rounds and BJS was holding as much as he could by then.

    BJS putting everything on the line - money, saying he'll quit, never be champ should he lose etc.

    He'll be on a massive low should things go wrong.

    "mentally falling to pieces"

    Come on, there's no basis to that opinion at all.

    Think both of these guys have potential to be world champ, in particular Eubank. Picking Jnr to win this one but I think BJS has been very disrespectful and I don't even think that Jnr has wound him up in any way I think he has done that himself

    Maybe

    But BJS did swear on his sons life he'd give up boxing if he lost. That's heavy heavy **** right there and a lot of mental weight to carry into any fight.

    Sometimes you can want something too much to the point it consumes you, i can imagine BJS will be all nervous energy in the fight and could gas after 6rds.

    Probably not but i like the way Eubank Jr accepted without hesitation which just made BJS even more agitated.

    I think BJS will let his emotions get the better of him on fight night, throwing wild haymakers early and a wise eubank capitalizing on mistakes. I rate BJS but he's put himself under enormous pressure with regards to daft statements retirement etc.

    Eubank JR for the win.
