    If both were free to air? Crolla vs Burns or Eubank Jr vs Yildirim?

    Jr probably, simply because looks like it will be a more exciting fight, the build up was half decent, there is some animosity there.


    The idea of Burns running around and cuddling Crolla for 12 rounds makes me feel sad.

    The fight in Germany looks like it could be entertaining, as in a vicious fight in front of a fanatical Turkish mob. Crolla vs Burns promises glove touches at the start and end of every round in front of a polite crowd. The PPV fee just makes Eubank vs Yildirim a total no go purely on principal.

    Totally agree about it being PPV.

    I must admit though I've nearly relented as the kids are pissing me off, the wife's ill and I don't think I can stick another night of Rick Stein repeats.

    Luckily I taped Big trouble in little China :)

    I've bought it. £10 isn't bad and a better option than xfacter

    Eubank if it wasn't ppv. Don't rate burns or crolla but worth a watch I suppose

    Eubank simply because he's an exciting fighter, if not all he's cracked up to be.

    He is literally unbearable these days. Never like watching boxing with no sound on but he is really testing that! Combine him with froch and I'm thinking I'd rather have Rowling and Watt!

    His growling and constant hyperbole is unbearable. I muted most fights last night. I far prefer the other guy, much more measured in his approach. Andy Clarke is it?
