Nick Blackwell: British middleweight champion hopes to 'shock' Chris Eubank Jr

Nick Blackwell says he wants to "shock" Chris Eubank Jr when he defends his British middleweight title on Saturday.

Blackwell, who won the British belt in 2015, has lost three and drawn one of his 23 professional fights.

Eubank Jr, the son of former world middleweight and super middleweight champion Chris Eubank, has lost only once in 22 bouts.

"He's a good talent, he's a good fighter, but he hasn't got much ring experience," said Blackwell.

"He's only had two opponents, that's Spike [Gary O'Sullivan] and Billy Joe Saunders, losing to Billy Joe and Spike he struggled with."

Blackwell, who also described Eubank Jr as "fake" and "arrogant", says he does not believe his opponent is only using the fight to set up a rematch with Saunders.

"I don't think he's going to be seeing it as a stepping stone but if he is thinking like that he's very, very mistaken," he told BBC Wiltshire.

"He knows deep down this is going to be the hardest fight of his life.

"If he hasn't taken this fight seriously and he hasn't trained hard - he's going to be on for a massive shock."

Can't find a bet I like in this fight. Jr's power is way overrated (IMO) but I think he might stop Blackwell by purely outclassing him (a bit like the Spike fight).

[Master]

I like Blackwell he is an exciting fighter and is really doing well. I would not mind him pulling off an upset.

Blackwell is tough but I feel he will get schooled Jr is a good few levels above Nick, it's a good fight and
well worth watching.

[Primo Carnera]

I reckon the only area Eubank is levels above Blackwell is possibly conditioning and fitness.
With regards to boxing skills, technique and experience, I don't think there's anything significant.
Blackwell has been in with some good guys, won some , lost some.
If he's learnt anything from those fights, it might be an interesting evening.
I still fancy Eubank to come through, but not with ease. It's funny, although Blackwell beat Ryder, I would more than fancy Ryder against Eubank.

I just think it will go the same way the Spike fight went for Jr, he will just outbox Nick as I feel Blackwell is
domestic level at best, Ryder has never really impressed me domestic level again they can be in good fights
but I feel Ryder or Blackwell are hardly World Champions waiting in the the wings are they.!

You could be right but Eubank has more of a chance to succeed at the higher level, boxing is about levels when it comes to being a champion is it not.?
