"The Star of Channel Five Boxing, Tyson Fury! :asskiss"

Please stop. It's soooooooo awkward.

They're saying it to his face (into which they're also thrusting a microphone for his "expert thoughts"), FFS.

Matthews is tired but manages to pull out a right hand up top, just too slow and too little on it to reverse the tide. Clinch. Eubank is hopping in place.

60-54 Eubank

 

Howard Foster raises Eubank Jr.'s hand immediately.

It goes down as a win on points, referee decision.

60-54

 

Al, Bernstein? He damn sure is. :good

 

Both generations of Eubank wax victorious with the C5 interviewer.

Jr. says the point was to get rounds in and work on his defense, and Matthews gave him good work. He claims he could have stopped Matthews from the third on. He says you don't learn anything from quick blowouts.

Sr. says he wasn't as vocal tonight as when previous attending Jr.'s events. He says he no longer needs to be vocal with his advice and he's just along to enjoy the ride. OMG his lisp is crazy, if his son wasn't literally sitting next to him as proof in the pudding I would doubt this man could ever get an erection with a woman.

 

Alas, no Lynes vs. Witter to be shown in its entirety.


HL now.
