Benn v Eubank 2

[nwalton]

Thoughts?

Watched Eubank training camp in Dubai, was said to be about three weeks ago, he looked in decent nick (as he should be ) now either he has not done his cutting yet or with Bomac in his camp he is doing it measured. No sign of cold sores, dry lips dry skin. So am edging towards repeat or even a stoppage

Benn camp footage was limited and more about his home life and sparring partners saying how hard he is hitting(funny enough) his record even down at welter never said he was a puncher (like the old man)
Th re-hydration will be of massive interest again

so for you repeat or revenge

[nwalton]

right come down on the eubank stoppage at 12/5(not that i can get on with Skybet) so have had to go 23/10 PP

also on the card maybe worth a very small play Catterall needs a big statement to put himself back on the world stage and with plenty of 13/2 around he is worth the stoppage play

If the drift on eubank continues and for some reason he touches evens on the outright i would have to play that

[nwalton]

well done Jack nice 13/2 stoppage win

Hope Ekow is ok

[Richard88]

Well played on the 13/2.

I’m listening to the main event now, sounds like Benn has come out fighting.

Not massively up on my boxing these days to be honest so can’t offer up much of an opinion so I’ll just sit back with a beer and enjoy.

[nwalton]

Eubank is looking disinterested at present 3-1 or 4-0 benn on my card

so he needs to let his hands go

thanks Richard

[Richard88]

Eubank can’t be far off needing a KO already. Something must be off.

[nwalton]

going into the last only one winner Eubank fought like a washed up old man, Benn deserved winner, although dont like him for his drug cheating

[nwalton]

on a sad note a man who i was brought in to spar on many occasions before his big fights (I was there as a human punch bag) passed away at the age of 64

RIP Mark Kaylor , famed for beating hot prospect back in the day Errol christie in a war

[Richard88]

Sorry to hear.

Just had a quick read up on him and Christie. The history of boxing can be fascinating, seems like it was very different in times gone past.

[nwalton]

Frank warren said it was the worse match making he ever did, pitching the young super star Christie in with Mark that early, Errol never really recovered from that brutal encounter
Both have passed now

Jake Paul v AJ December 19, some how this fight has got sanctioned, (well money talks) Do i blame AJ no not at all do I blame whatever board are going to sanction this,, YES i do
Will do huge numbers on Netflix but then again Nightmare on elm street back in the day got huge numbers

[Richard88]

No interest in watching these fights involving YouTube celebrities. Don’t blame Joshua for taking what is no doubt an easy payday.

I’m not convinced these things are even straight. Surely Joshua going full pelt would see Paul on his backside, or worse, in no time. There must be some understanding that he goes easy on him, at least for the early rounds.

[nwalton]

spot on Richard if Paul gets through 3 minutes AJ will be ridiculed, I cant blame him for the money grab. By all accounts this puts the top hat on the whole affair the is a weight cap for the fight of 245, AJ should be ok as he came in slightly under that for both Usyk bouts, just made me laugh weight restriction in a heavyweight bout

[nwalton]

I will keep it on this thread so dont clog up the board

masoud defends his title against one time top top amateur McGrail

Masoud is all action but lacks a dig while McGrail was tabbed to go to the very top until a punch KO defeat in US (in a fight he was dominating) He is cutting a lot of late which is another negative.
I was tempted by the Masoud stoppage through cuts but if a head clash it becomes a TD, so have played it safe and fight not to go is ok at 10/3

Then in US tonight a decent fight with Cruz (the pit bull) back in the ring, am awaiting more books to price up Cruz to be dropped, so long night sitting up watching the boxing
