    CEJ has certainly raked it in based on his father's name and not for anything he has done in the ring.

    Will probably have another 2-3 British level non title blockbuster fights on PPV before he sails off with his loot.

    32 fights and only ONE attempt at a proper World Title Fight in a 12 year career is very poor and he fails The Warriors Code for me.

    Eubank wearing a Utd shirt in a lousy attempt to win over the crowd tomorrow night & still got booed louder than Smith on the weigh in....someone should remind the guy he's a Brighton fan.

    Nothing changes for me in terms of who I want to see win, very much time for Eubank the con man to sail away.

    Wasn't it to spite Smith who is from Liverpool since a lot of people present were rooting for Liam Smith who is from Liverpool ? Might be wrong. Either way Eubank will win relatively comfortably with a few issues later on in the fight. He is just too big.

    Either way. He's defo playing the Manchester good boy with the shirt and the billboards, he playing a facade either way....guys from Brighton.

    I just can't see the size being an issue for him this time round, Smith isn't Conor Benn.....the size is marginal....if Eubank wins it'll be because he beat Liam to the punch and used his overwhelming combination of punches.

    Let's see, not long to wait now.

    I hope so. I’m not sure though. I always wanted this fight made but always known size matters, I will say it’s not as big as I thought but it could be different by tomorrow. Fair play to Eubank making middleweight I remember him struggling 7/8 years ago to make it. Maybe he was cutting corners for some of them opponents. If they were both the same size I’d say there’s only one winner. Smith does everything better except hand speed and timing beats that anyway. This is why Eubank wanted nothing of Callum Smith, he needs the advantages as you can see by his opponent choices.

    I do worry Smith has riled something in Eubank now and them early rounds will be even more torrid now. He may have planned it that way but it could backfire. If he gets past 5/6 though I feel it’s Smith’s fight he will make him work and Eubank can only fight for 60-90 seconds a round. It’s going to be good.

    Agree if Beefy can get the fight to round 7 without too much in it, then he can certainly win this fight on output.

    No, my rather well off boxing buddy is. I always go round to his as he has a nice little front room with comfy chairs, decent size telly and a bottle of cherry cask aged, Steam Boat Bush Mills Irish Whiskey. I take round beer and nibbles and usually stagger home about midnight.

    I actually think the £20 PPV is decent value, especially when you kind of split it up and it's a half decent undercard with some intriguing match ups and the main event after the final presser should set alight very nicely.

    Undercard looks decent too. Looking forward to Kongo vs. Essuman.

    Interesting fight but it’s just not a PPV. It’s outrageous the level of fight we have to pay extra for nowadays. There’s no title, it’s not even an eliminator, there’s nothing but “pride” at stake between 2 fighters past their prime.
