    Talk about fishing for a reaction.

    Even if he does catch Eubank Jnr flush I think with his Eubanks conditioning he might be able to recover - if he's inherited his dads chin then Spike's power isn't going to be the deciding factor.

    Spike has also fought a lot of guys with loosing records. Even in the last year there a guys with lots of L's

    Eubanks record while not full of quality opposition does at least have some guys who know how to win at their level.

    I think it could probably come down to work rate and I can see a dodgy ref stoppage in Eubanks favour along the way

    Heres a good comparison. How many world champions andworld class foghters have used Spike forsparring comparred to Eubank?

    I dont want to be rude to Spike but he trains with who? Buglioni? Hes been sparring recently with Jermain Taylor. The same Taylor whos just got out of prison for being off his rocker and Spike is trying to say this will help him...

    Spike will give Eubank a couple of competative rounds but will quickly be swamped with combinations and be put of his deprh and take a bit of a battering.

    Totally agree with your final line. As a matter of fact I was going to make that very point. Eubank had forced a lot of ref interventions by swamping opponents with volume punching. Spike isn't the fastest, and I have a concern Eubank may do the same to spike. A friendly .. Pro Eubank ref...may be the defining factor in this fight. Spike may be more disorganised than hurt...and I would hate to see that happen. This is a real concern.

    Spike can't afford to look disorganised...as the outsider the ref could be poised to pounce in Eubank favour. The ref may " interpret" disorganised as " hurt" and stop it.

    Spikes game as a badger for this and has a very high workrate with CEJ won't like one bit I don't think Spikes power will be able to stun Jnr straight away, I think he will be able to grind him down with it though, if he fights the right fight. What people are saying about a pro Eubank ref though, very valid point, and I'd hate to see the fight go to Jnr for that reason aswell

    I think this will be a statement fight from Eubank. I think he'll win, win big, and bash the hell out of 'spike'.

    Then everyone will say but Spike was rubbish etc.

    Even if Spike gets the hell beat out of him, I'll still be team Spike, I'm not fickle like that. Eubank Jnr never going to be no world beater in my own opinion so if he busts Spike he was the better man on night and thats that.

    Eubank is the "house" fighter here. Spike the outsider. The country, the promoter, the TV network, everything will be in cejs favour. If say he gets Spike backed up on the ropes and flurries with a cluster of hooks, gets Spike wrong footed, the ref may be "inclined' to step in and stop it. This is a real concern here. Spike needs to be very careful to avoid giving Team Eubank the opportunity for any funny business here.

    It will be Chu caught him with some decent left hooks and I don't know if he was stunned or off balance but there was a brief reaction.

    If Eubank builds momentum and gets Spike in a position like he had Chu where he was unloading huge hooks that were scoring ref stoppage is entirely possible... Its an interesting fight fair play to em both for taking it. Eubank certainly wants to back up his boasts.
