Most of Eubanks opponents have been far worse than Matthew Hall. Dont forget that. I'm around long enough to remember guys just like you and dellboi saying the same thing about Eubank Sr "shutting out" another crude-but-tough Irish middleweight. .....and we all know what happened there...... Underestimate Spike at your peril.....
I'm not for 1 minute dismissing Matthrw Hall, but he is a smallish light Middle who imo and many many others he won spike by a good few rounds, what im saying is Eubank is better in every department then spike and is just levels above him, Spike needs Eubank, I honestly can't see spike winning more than 2 rounds
I must take anoter look at Hall-Spike. I remember it being a dissapointing scuffle at the time. But I seem to remember Spike nicked it on merit alright! Unless Im wrong Spike himself only moved up to 160 quite recently - so no crime for him to have fought a decent light-middle back then.
This fight happened when David Haye last fought FFS. Spike obviously has been now where near a gym since and has not improved one iota. :roll: Spike is a 'G' :bbb
Maybe his promoter doesn't want to have to chase Frank around for Spike's purse for the next 6 months? Maybe the contract terms offered weren't acceptable? Maybe it had loads of options that Frank wanted them to sign off on? NO THAT'S NOT IT SHUT UP YOU IDIOT IT'S BECAUSE SPIKE A PROFESSIONAL BOXER IS SCARED OF EUBANK!
Eubank will be favourite, I agree. But he likes to stand in close and swing for the fences, which gives Spike a chance IMO. Billy was all wrong for Spike, CEJ isn't.
