    If Abraham got nearly 2ib off in two hours he will be weight drained. Not healthy that.

    Must have been told he'd not get WBSS entry unless he made weight. The pay just for participating in the tournament is too good to turn down. At least it shows he's motivated and has come with the intention of beating Eubank. After hearing he was near 2lbs over, I didn't think he'd bother trying with the weight the second time.

    For all we know the rules to make it into WBSS might just be the winner of AA V Jnr, nothing to do with who has won the belt.
    AA might be giving himself an advantage by coming in over and as long as he wins , hes in the WBSS, where the prize monies good.
    Like has already been said, i cant see AA giving a toss about the IBO

    Or just not bother?

    Surprised there's not a bit more excitement at Eubank facing a "live", albeit middle-aged opponent. Fairly significant fight for him in fairness.

    Agree step up, best opponent outside BJS. But Abraham was at best at middleweight and its early 2009 since he fought at weight, not been same since Froch beat him easily nearly 7 years ago ! Think more than anything that defeat and the ease of it burst his bubble. Careful matchmaking by Eubanks to get name on his record reminds me of when Khan fought Barrera.

    Good question, I don't know but maybe that's why AA got his backside in to gear and shed the excess weight.

    I'd like to know the answer to that question if anybody knows.

    Just can't get up for this fight at all, not excited in the slightest.

    I feel exactly the same about BJS vs Monroe, I just don't care.

    Both BJS and Eubank have wasted a tremendous amount of time in their careers as of late.
