    Rivalry still going strong with Spike Sullivan getting stuck in too.

    Interesting to see if there's a rematch or Eubank/Sullivan gets made.

    They did well to build the fight the first time around, it was a ****-poor fight and I can't honestly say I am bothered about a rematch.

    They need to go their separate ways and see if one of them can get a world title (neither will, imo) and then a rematch will have a lot more to it.

    Really? I thought it was a very good fight, you might be right about neither winning a world title. I would very much like to see a rematch though.

    Zzzz.

    Both are annoying.

    Billy acts like Floyd Mayweather and Chris acts like his Dad.

    Honestly didn't enjoy it. I felt that Billy comfortably won the first half as Eubank Jr was trying desperately to load up with right hand uppercuts and was made to look silly by BJS who was easily able to evade them. BJS tired badly in the second half which allowed Eubank Jr to take over. I think the fight showcased how far below world class both were; a point further evidenced by the fact BJS stepped aside despite being a mandatory for Lee's belt.

    The hype and build up was far more enjoyable for me personally.

    eubank learnt a lot from that BJS fight , i think the fight against chudinov showed that , dont be surprised if he does a lot better than you think over the next few years . i certainly think he will stop saunders if they rematch .

    First one was a decent fight but personally have no real desire to see a rematch in the coming years, frank seems to be keen as its one of the few fights he can easily put on that will sell easily

    Again I have to agree. ( Solaris, what's come over you? :p)
    FWIW I use the wife as a yardstick. I'd watch any fight, but as a casual she loses interest during lesser matches, and she deffo wasn't impressed with BJS v CEJ.

    Spike in not an "Internet tough guy".
    If you had Spike coming at you down a dark alley, it would be an underwear-changing moment, Mark my words. :good

    They're both just following the blueprint for a british rivalry after a close and/or controversial first encounter.
    It usually ends up in a big money fight in wich both get hugely overpaid for their actual level :good

    Eubank made the last few rounds exciting but I thought they both froze a bit in the beginning neither looked as good as before
