    with them fighting in Germany next, they can build a good show in the uk, with the time frame being close to us, they can build a good ppv card and switch over to Germany, very smart thinking

    I see Jr pulling out of this tournament after his quarter final.

    I wouldn't put Eubanks and smart in the same sentence.

    Yeah, I remember when Eubanks wanted to fight Golovkin badly, so badly that he refused to sign the contract!

    Egotistical and deluded yes.

    Smart not so much.

    Didnt Pop get divorce rap3d by his first wife? Just happened to coincide with his peak earning years ending. What a coincidence that.

    At this point I don't care what the Eubanks do or say as long as they turn up to the damn tournament.

    I can see Eubank pulling out of the first fight if the UK TV deal isn't to their liking.

    This is quite possible. Yildirim is going to be a very tough fight psychologically for Eubank. He dished it out to Abraham's who still absorbed his power but this fella is a natural light heavy, Eubank is going to have to resist the urge to sit in the pocket and land combinations because although they're scoring shots, I really don't think they're going to stop this fella walking forwards who will have already accepted that the only way he beats Eubank is to knock him out. Some fighters are fine with beating a fighter into submission/decision but I reckon it drives Eubanks ego crazy not having the power to finish an opponent in a few shots.
