Eubank Jnr - Terry Carruthers

Yeah a very decent fight for him on paper. All these early fights should be able to be used as a yardstick of a prospect's development and that should happen with Carruthers. Hopefully, with it being on terrestrial it'll be an entertaining fight to watch

 

saw him outpoint adnan amar on froch bute card and i was impressed with him, he's much better than his record suggests. good fight in my opinion

 

Who is Terry Carruthers?

 

He has beat a few decent fighter like Adnan Amar, Steve Harkin and he drew with Liam Smith.

 

Terry Carruthers was with Nobby Nobbs early in his career, and never really took the sport seriously. Would take late notice fights, against heavier, hometown lads. He is now under Jon Pegg, and has been for a while where he has been steadily improving. He is very crafty, and can box very well when he wants too.

I was surprised when Joe Selkirk got rid of him so quickly. If Eubank pulls a similar result he will show himself to be a serious prospect. But make no mistake about it, Terry has a very real chance of pulling out a result and turning over the young upstart Saturday night.

I'll be watching with interest.

 

Ill be cheering carruthers.....

Not a massive jr fan, i think a early loss would do him world of good.

 

big big test for Eubank.

Carruthers is decent

 

Glad that this fight is on Saturday.

 

Good test for Eubank, hopefully Terry can test him.

 

Yeah should be a testing for Eubank

 

Didn't realise what I said!

 

A very testing fight and I like how he may not be fighting elite but he is not fighting weak fighters. He is fighting a very decent fighter who can cause even the best of the british fighters a problem. Very good stepping stone

 

To be fair I wouldnt be expecting him to be fighting elite but he seems to be progressing at a good pace which is good ,shouldnt be too long before he's mixing it up at British title level.

 

Its old school matchmaking. He will learn so much more this way.

Wouldn't it be good if we got to the stage where we had British champions that maybe had a couple losses but were rounded enough to travel across the Atlantic and school the yanks.
