    Interesting fight this one, thought Catterall would be too good for Harlem but I guess he must be on the slide if they made this.

    Have no interest watching a Catteral fight. Why would anybody want to fight him it's going to be an awful spectacle and if you win you still look terrible.

    To me, Harlem will forever be a a friday night channel 5 fighter. At that level there was some entertainment value, but I never for one moment saw him heading a big show....

    I appreciate the sweet science but Catterall is the worst watch ever.

    Even if Catteral is past it a little bit he should still be too tough and rugged. Probably wins by stoppage.

    Couldn't think of a worse matchup. Catterall UD.

    It's a strange fight to make, I can only think they Wasserman made Catteral an offer to good to refuse. Fighting Harlem does nothing for Catteral, he's not even ranked, Catteral is still number 5 Ring, WBC and 4 WBO. This is first fight at 147 he could have easily got a fight with a top 5 147 and got instantly up the rankings. This fight does nothing for him, high risk extremely low reward. Something is off about this.

    If Catterall stinks up the joint again and puts on his dancing boots against a fighter of the calibre of Harlem Eubank then Eddie should cut his losses and cut Catterall loose; if Catterall can't show a bit of bravado and put on a fight against someone as limited as H Eubank then realistically he will never be able to. It is about time promoters should be called to account for propping up fighters that have no interest in entertaining the punter (and I'm not saying fighters should abandon their boxing and go in face first, but it is perfectly possible to marry the sweet science with some positivity and action).

    It doesn’t appear that the NEPHeubank has inherited the warrior code.

    catterall seems the smart pick here.

    It's on a DAZN show, it'll be Catterall's team making Harlem the offer. Harlem brings the Eubank name and an undefeated record IIRC but not too much else. It's low-medium risk, medium reward. Neither Catterall nor Eubank are proper 147 fighters.

    Yes you are right, Harlem Called him out and Eddie made an offer. Still a terrible fight for Catteral IMO which takes him nowhere.
