    Another Shamrock circus act, milking the Plastic Paddies in the States.

    I don't rate Eubank that highly, a vile individual, and think he's a deluded clown, but he's levels above Spike.

    Well Spike tried the UK and got nowhere - left on the shelf. Now he is in good hands whats wrong with that?

    Whats so 'vile' about Eubank anyway?

    This fight isn't even close. Eubank by UD 12-0. Spike is garbage.

    Well obviously you dont think much of Eubank either if you dont think he can stop a 'garbage' opponent if given 12 rounds to do it!!

    On what are you basing your assessment of Spike as 'garbage'?
    Have you seen Spikes last 4 fights by the way?

    Looks like we're in business!


    Will the 85%+ wrining off Spike have to eat their words?!!

    Because Eubank isn't a big puncher.

    His last 4 fights were against complete tomato cans with over 40 losses between them :D did you catch his fight against BJS? The guy is complete garbage.

    I agree Eubank isnt a huge banger. But Spike isnt garbage. Unproven yes, garbage no.

    Unproven does not automatically = garbage.

    Surely the BJS fight was the proving ground for him? He barely won a round in that fight.

    Ordinarily you would be right. However consider a number of factors:
    1. BJS a fleet-footed speedster - top class at it in fact - and he was always going to be all wrong for Spike, who is , admittedly, not 'fast' by any means.

    2. At the time Spike was sloppy, undermotivated, poorly managed, nowhere near as 'up for it' as he is today.

    3. A burst eardrum early on affected his balance.


    CEJ nowadays would suit Spike a LOT more than Bjs did back then. :thumbsup

    dont take this the wrong way but you remind me of an irish billy nelson! lol you always back the irish guys to the hilt even when most agree that they will be beat. maybe patriotism or maybe just irish bias or maybe just like to back the underdog!! lol

    No offence taken. I admit I do like to wind up the Irish bashers a bit. :lol:

    But in this case, genuinely, I DO feel Spike could trouble CEJ. :thumbsup

    i think spike will give it a good go too but at the end of the day no matter how focused spike is i think chris jnr is just a level or two above!!

    Eubank the superior boxer no doubt but if Spike can upset him and make it a rough night who knows, he may connect with one of his devastating hooks.
