As a boxing fan I just want to see the best fights. Unfortunately the Eubank's are all mouth and no trousers but, again, they're clearly getting away with it so....
ha, whether I know the difference between an obscure Aussie and a top ranked geezer is irrelevant isn't it?

Eubank is fighting for a belt on ITV box office a weight up against a current world champion who has just knocked out Daniel Geale

And its getting lots of exposure and is for the most part self promoting - mainly because people are massive moaning bastards , but still

could they have done much better?
Yes, I was agreeing with you, it's irrelevant that it's a mismatch (he's 200/1 on) if you don't know or care who he fights and buy into the "world" champion lark.

From an actual sporting perspective it would be nice to see Eubank's actually have a meaningful step up in class against a quality fighter though.
