Is anybody watching this scrap for the International WBC super bantam weight title ? It's on Channel 5 from 9:55 and features Chris Eubank JR and Lenny Daws in amongst the undercard, not sure who each are fighting. Booth has been great for British boxing but it seems this may clash with Chisora -Klitschko so will try and record it, if the missis will watch Casualty next door;D
I just want to see Eubanks Jnr.
I'm going to watch it. Should be a good night, my mate is on the undercard he trains out of the ingle gym and has regular sparring with kid Galahad.
Cool, that will make it more interesting. What does your mate make of kid then? Booth was made to look very ordinary by Quigg, but I rate Scott so hard to know if Booth is past it or not.Quote:

Galahad is a 10 fight novice, it wasn't that long ago people were talking about Booth vs Munroe! crazy times. Quigg looked a monster against him and showed that Booths days of top level fights are just about over. Booth should be able to hustle his way to a win, if he can't I reckon it's time to bow out gracefully.
Just got back from the fight, pretty good card. Kid Galahad looked good, booth is definitely past his best though. My mate won which was good, he thinks Barry is a good boxer, slick and hard to hit but, lacks a good dig. Which is pretty much what he shown tonight.
Kid Galahad is good, that was a good fight from both of them. The Kid reminds me of Herol Graham, all the Sheffield boxers were there supporting him saw Kell Brooks and Witter.
Eubanks did not look that good last night, said he had a hand injury.
Also Tyson Fury v Rogan will be on.
Me too, uncanny resemblance in the way he moves and holds himself. He looked very polished for a ten fight novice.Quote:

Injury or not I think Eubank was getting his arse handed to him in the final 2 rounds.Quote:

I feel he still should be fighting 4 round's only, he did not look so good last night but it's only his 2andQuote:

fight he has natural talent, give him time and in 12 or 18 month's time he may rise or he may fall.
But as you no there is no hiding place in this game and you will be found out.
Booth has done his shift, and the Kid was impressive in bursts but seems to lack in power, nowhere near ready for Quigg,Frampton or Munroe. I think any of those three knock him out. Missed Eubank fight Sky didn't record properly.
The fight ran over to the next slot which was a film so missed some rounds of the Eubank fight too.Quote:

I'm still unsure on Eubank, I don't think we'll know if he is any good for years yet, his name alone will get him to at least 15-0, maybe even to 20-0 before he starts fighting for British titles and getting tested.
Rumour has it he gave Groves the black eye and beat up cleverly. So he is a good gym fighter.Quote:

As the saying go's easy does it.
I think eubank jr is getting a bit of unfair stick here, the lad fought a guy with a winning record in his second fight and went into the fight with an injury, didn't bitch about it and beat the guy using only his left hand the whole fight. I'm not saying he's a world champion in the making but, I was very impressed with his attitude and skill!
Yes in the interview after his dad said he had injured it and did well to get through the fight. He could get away with it at this level so was probably the right thing to do to get the TV exposure.
