O'Sullivan - Eubank (WBA full title eliminator) on Joshua - Whyte undercard

[Fenster]

@ross - You've twice claimed that Spike can't punch because he didn't KO Matthew Hall.

I said if Eubank Jr can't KO Pryce - who got KO'd by Hall - that means Jr can't punch.

Both points are equally stupid.

Does Spike have proven world-class KO power? No. Why? Because he's not fought at that level. Do we have evidence that Spike has KO power? Yes. Whether or not that means he can KO Jr is yet to be seen but it shouldn't be a shock if he does. On form they have similar credentials.

Name me some figters who are middle weights and who are known as big punchers. Now tell me they wouldnt stop Hall.

Its boring listening to O Sullivan get over rated off his own bullshit. He hasnt stopped anyone that he wasnt supposed too. Hes done nothing remarkable. Its like the same hype Bellew gives himself.

Eubank gets rated big time by actual world champions and top trainers based on actually sharing a ring with him. Like Froch said he may not be the most concussive puncher but hes tough and strong as they come and can actually fight. O Sullivan is in for a rude awakening.

Is Jr a big puncher? He's never stopped anyone he's not supposed to either

It wont matter.

Hes accurate, fast and puts them together very well. Spike will think hes surrounded.

Depending on how good Spikes chin in is how long he will be in the fight.

You're probably right. Not sure why you have to denigrate Spike's punching power to make the point though. It just dilutes Jr's win.

Fitzgerald - who Spike sparked in one round - went the distance with Andy Lee and N'Dam. I assume you have a semblance of respect for Lee's power.

O'Sullivan and Whyte wins and you could be very rich.

I didnt know that.

Fitzgerald had been stopped before though.

I dont think Lee is that great though either. He can be outboxed and as long as you dont give him an opening you will beat him. Even Chavez Jr beat him up! I think Saunders beats Lee.

Yes I respect Lees power and im sure if you let Spike have a free shot and stood still he could drop you too. Hes a strong fighter but against someone like Eubank hthats not going to translate to power because he will be too busy defending and thinking to just load up.

Theres plenty of fighters out there who can probably produce more power in one shot than the current world champions but unless you have the skills and technique to go with it that power means nothing.

Also diluting Jrs win doesnt mean anything as this isnt a meaningful fight anyway. Its a good rust loosener warm up for Jr but it will not prove he is any better than the fighter who got a split with Saunders. It makes me laugh that Glen McCrory said Jeter was no prep for O Sullivan. Well im certain that Melvyn Betencourt is even less prep for Eubank Jr!!! This is Eubanks warm up.

[Fenster]

Spike has nothing to lose. Meaningful fight? It is for Jr because if he loses he's fucked.

Do you think Jr would beat Golovkin, @ross?
