    I guess CEJ will stop boxing like he's auditioning to play Roy Jones in a movie (more Bad Impressions than Bad Intensions) and revert to type, and Williams will bring plenty of aggression. Can't see this being anything other than a great fight...

    Should be a barnburner this. I see a lot of casuals are writing The Machine off for some strange reason but he specializes in cracking chins that don't get cracked and he's the much better technician and boxer here and he's not only capable of outboxing CEJ but of stopping him too. Yeah I said it. Not saying he will stop him but he is capable of doing so and I won't be at all surprised if he hurts or drops him. I only really see him losing if he gets clipped himself which is obviously a possibility or tiring down the stretch and succumbing to CEJ's workrate.

    Boo Boo Andrade is a nightmare for anyone with that horribly awkward style of his and he would've absolutely toyed with CEJ who can't box. I voiced my concern beforehand about Williams underestimating and not respecting Andrade's power and I think that early KD he suffered as a consequence of that was huge because he lost his composure and became ragged after getting off to that terrible start and it played right into Andrade's hands, especially with him being the away fighter and the ref batting against him adding to his frustration.

    I expect the crowd to be very lively and really into the action too, similar to the Liverpool crowd for Beefy vs Fowler.

    I'm guessing this fight is happening at 160, given that Eubabk Jr moved down from 168 to fight Korobov a couple of years ago?

    Williams should win this. Eubank had always seemed bereft of a cohesive style at the best of times, but he looks completely lost in his recent reincarnation as a very poor man's Roy. If Williams doesn't get the W, he's an even bigger mental midget than I figure.

    Good match up that should make for an entertaining fight. When Eubank can’t bully an opponent he’s loses however Williams will be right in his face so that will suit him .

    I agree with all of this, should be a great matchup, unpredictable, and I hope the winner is suitably rewarded in their future matchmaking.

    Chances are CEJ is going keep Williams. The thing with CEJ is he is genuinely tough , a hard nut and fit. Williams is good but not good enough.

    Tough and very fit but he can't box and is easy to hit. Williams is a much better technician with serious power

    Old post

    Williams is 15-2 (15 KOs) in his last 17 fights and he stopped a bunch of extremely durable fighters who either don't ever get stopped or very rarely do


    Darryl Sharp has only been stopped once in 78 fights, by Williams

    Dan Blackwell has only been stopped once in 76 fights, by Williams

    Karim Achour has only been stopped once in 36 fights, by Williams. Murderous punching David Lemieux couldn't stop Achour

    Kris Carslaw has only been stopped once in 28 fights, by Williams

    Alantez Fox has only been stopped once in 29 fights, by Williams

    Joe Mullender has only been stopped once in 14 fights, by Williams

    Andrew Robison had only been stopped once before in 29 fights

    And Williams isn't just stopping these guys he's taking them out in real style

    A poster on here who knows Sharp said he told them this

    ''I know Darryl Sharp personally he has been in with some good fighters and he said the power and the accuracy of Williams was something else, something he never experienced in sparring or fighting and he has sparred big light heavyweights!''



    Here's what Carslaw had to say about Williams' power


    'Carslaw’s manager, Tommy Gilmour was quick to defend his fighter after describing Williams as a “beast of a man” and a potential future world champion.

    Such is 23-year-old Williams’ punching power that Carslaw could not even recall details of his early stoppage and he was ultimately forced to watch a recording of the bout on You Tube to familiarise himself with what had happened.

    But he confessed: “I could not remember the second round. I thought I had recovered from my first round knock-down after taking the eight count but obviously I had not.

    “I’m just glad that I’m alright because Williams is a bit special. I have been in against a few good ones like Michel Soro for the European title, but none of them could punch like this guy.


    He added: “It was always going to be a tough battle, but Williams is exceptional to the extent that I would not be at all surprised if he goes on to become a world champion.


    “It’s also a measure of Williams’ power that Kris could not recall clearly what happened in the second round. He gave it his best shot, but I knew I was watching a touch of class; someone special who was just too good for him.”

    I actually think that Williams can and should outbox CEJ, especially this 'new' incantation which I don't rate. I actually thought the CEJ who fought Blackwell, Chudinov, O'Sullivan, Abraham and Yildrim had a more effective style, was pretty ruthless and a very entertaining fighter to watch and I think would eventually overwhelm Williams but, this new style of Eubanks is taylor made for Williams.
