Lauren Price barely out of second gear and didn’t lose a round really did she

 

Tasha a credit though, 40 years old and still stepping through ropes

Jonas has been lucky in recent years. I thought she was comfortably beaten by Meyer, but yesterday there was no doubt. I think she realised this was the end for her.

Some great fights on this card saturday! Nick ball is hands down my favourite active fighter atm, hoping he smashed Doheny and we can see him fight Inoue in December!

Just watched the gloves are off. What a nice genuine humble guy Liam Cameron is. Polar opposite to his opponent.

Whittaker's attitude and showboating would be palatable if he had the skills to match those levels of confidence, but that first fight was all Cameron.

 

I enjoy a good showman, but you just come across as bell if you don't actually delivery the goods lol

 

Paddy Pimblett had a similar humbling in the UFC a few years back, only an insanely judged fight had him as winner. He used it as a platform to improve and has been absolutely dominant in his fights since, so will be interesting to see if Whittaker takes his 2nd chance in the same way.

Whittaker is a 🍆 The best sportsman don’t need to showboat they do the business whilst respecting their opponents.

As you say Cameron certainly would have won the 1st bout & Whittaker knew that, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he feigned injury when they went over the ropes!

I know it gets played up a bit at times, however I don’t think Benn and Eubank like each other 😂

Just seen Eubank's interview from today. 

 

He looks really gaunt and he still has a day of losing weight to go. 

 

 

he can't fully rehydrate either and did just fail to make the 160lb limit at this mornings weigh in. i suppose he could just give the middle finger to the rehydration clause and take a big fine

Eubank can gain back 10lb between fridays weigh in and saturday between 8-9am. 

 

So after that, there's nothing to stop him rehydrating and fueling well after that in preperation for the fight which is 13-14 hours later.

This whole thing is grotesque. No wonder Eubank Snr wants nothing to do with it.

Agree. It's a welterweight vs a super middleweight who are both trying to meet half way just to make a shit load of money.

These gimmick fights seem to be more and more common, but loads of people are willing to fork out to see them, so i guess they'll keep happening.

 

I'd imagine Eubank will win...if anyone is that bothered though?

Aside from the fact that I think what Eubank is having to do in terms of his weight is downright dangerous, I just don't see what's in it for either of them tbh (well obviously there is the cash, in which Eubank has already lost nearly £500k in fines with possibly more to come). 

 

If Eubank wins people will say he was too big and too experienced for Benn anyway. If Benn wins people will say it was only because Eubank was emaciated.

I actually think Benn will KO him. Eubank has been KOd before and Benn is a ferocious fighter. Also, the longer the fight goes on  you’d usually favor the bigger man but Eubank is going to be so physically drained from trying to make weight Saturday  morning that the time until that night  will not be enough for him to fully hydrate and re-energize.

159, 159, 158, 160 are the weight that Eubank has come in at for his last 4 fights, it's not like he's doing something abnormally freakish as a one off, it's something he's experienced in doing.

 

I'm buzzing for the fight, really expecting this to be a good tear up from the off. Benn hasn't managed a KO since getting off the...erm egg whites. So will be interesting to see if he has a bit of extra oompf with going up weight.

 

Really hoping I see Billam Smith takes Glanton's head off after the comments Glanton made yesterday.

 

Hoping Yarde will dispatch Arthur in what should be another great watch.

 

Viddal v Clarke should be a good scrap as should McKenna v Smith.

 

As far as cards go, it's very decent, possibly not for non Brit, but if you're a British boxing fan there's got to be plenty there for you.

Eubank Snr arrives with his son after all that.

 

Guess it was part of the plan all along but lost so much respect for Snr now as he spoke so much sense in the build up regarding how this will end up killing somebody.

 

Ah well sells tickets to the sheep

 

I hate the sport I once loved
