What I saw in the arena, Fury, Eubank

[AdamGB]

Brilliant assessment of the Tyson Dreary fight...

[Master]

Fury did brilliantly considering he has not fought for nearly 2 years!

Nice summary @ross/

Ring girls were hot.

You been to any fights before Ross?

[Silkeyjoe]

You do know Eubank was favorite and the least likely outcome was Saunders KO. The fight clearly showed it was too big a jump for Eubank. Eubank won the first 5 and won at least 2 of the last 7 to deserve the win. If Eubank had 2 fights before this one against decent standard opposition, like Blackwell and Ryder/O Sullivan, he probably would have won. But he fought like a complete tool in the 1st half of the fight.

When the fight was announced was Eubank favourite?

Im not sure he did win 2 of the last seven and one thing I can say is I was a boxing judge, amateur. I know its different but have an idea of what the judges should be looking for. You make odds, not judge fights. I wont have a stab at what I think fight odds should be

Eubank was slight underdog from opening til yesterday afternoon. He went off a slight fav.

[ross]

Yeah it was just late money that bumped him up. He was the underdog.

Pro fights, no. Im in Guernsey so a mission and costly to get away. This had 2 of my favourite current fighters on it and was too good to miss.

[Andre]

Well Eubank could always come over here and challenge Mundine .

Simular weights, theres a 'silver' title,Both are father son teams,both like show boating, both like mouthing off how great they are,both think they are the next best thing and love the media trumpet.

Be like smashing two mirrors together.

Ross,

If this was your first one you have now learned

1. That if there are a load of pikeys there you are better off well over the drink drive limit and happy, I base my experience on Johnny Frankham versus Chris Finnegan at the Albert Hall.
2. THat FRank Warren is a cunt, who treats performing fighters and paying customers like shit, he's been promoting for years and the cunt still cant work out a timetable?
3. That to get back from Exel after FRank Warren 'showtime' has eventually finished costs us england dwellers £75 or more in a taxi to get home, or even a hotel!
4. That Terry Marsh, the first ever European World champion to retire undefeated, was not that good on the ranges when he was a marine.

Fat Micks shows are normally good, so your half way there picking Fury to follow, but if you'd picked Price you would have the best promoter in Europe in Kalle Sauerland, and if your flying anyway whats the difference between London or Germany?

[Silkeyjoe]

Eubank claimed he is the best in the world bar maybe Ward. He clearly isnt. Hes a tremendous talent with great physical ability. He probably will win a world title at some point but I dont think he'll ever be number one in his div. If fighters are going to hype themselves up the way he has when they fail they will get criticism. Its fair.

On a side note when they were announcing the winner Saunders went mad when Lennon Jr anounced "and still undefeated". would have been comical if it was Eubank.
