    So...

    Did we learn anything new about Messrs Galahad & Eubank last night?

    I thought Eubank dialled back on trying to be his dad and looked better for it. I still think he fights in little bursts and admires his work too much.

    I thought Kid Galahad looked fine... he looked to have more spite in his shots. Don't get me wrong; he's no one-punch killer, but I think he might have enough pop to keep people honest at the top level. Then again, it might just have been the opponent...

    Haven't seen the Eubank fight yet but Galahad looked good, seems to be becoming more comfortable on the front foot.

    He really needs to face a world ranked opponent soon.

    we saw that kid is happy to work on the inside against a smaller man - tough to take anything from a mismatch.

    jr's was a weird performance, especially that 1st round, but being unable to jab mitigates that. there were times where his movement left him very vulnerable, a better opponent should exploit that.

    Neither fought someone with a pulse so we didnt learn anything.

    Cant blame Galahad for taking the fight though nice easy title

    Galahad is a British, European and Commonwealth title holder so he is at at far more advanced stage than Eubank who needs to be fighting for a belt in his next 3 fights.

    Quite right - I wasn't looking to compare them against each other, just wondering what folks though about their performances last weekend.
