Eubank Jnr v Renold Quinlan - ITV Box Office 4/2/17

[smashup]

Given the amount of views and posts this thread has received why shouldn't it be?
It's by far the busiest current thread on the forum so people obviously have an interest in Eubank Jnr.

Superheavy is obviously joking.

The whole card is good and far better value for money than what sky are offering. In fact this card embarrasses them.

[erics44]

its a good card, im looking forward to all of the fights

I'm not sure it embarrasses sky tho, they have put on some good cards themselves recently

well have to wait to see how the fights go first too, they might all end up shit

[smashup]

It's more than that though, the bottom line is that if Eubank Jnr can (like him and his dad claim they will do) secure genuine PPV fights that he's challenging for proper world titles in, the world's his oyster if he can put his money where his mouth is and win them.
ITV is a huge platform to be fighting on but he needs to look devastating on Saturday night to get people talking and get the ball rolling.
Being honest here if i was young Eubank and knew my punches were hurting him and was confident i could walk through his i'd carry the fight a few more rounds than i had to and systematically punish Quinlan over more rounds than i really needed to and sell myself more to the average man in the street type of fans.
Basically a 1st round KO win is gonna 50% impress but also 50% get the hardcore fans jumping all over the missmatch bus.

I'm actually looking forward to this not just for the decent looking card but also because of the pressure it puts on Sky, BT and Boxnation to up their game should it prove a success.

Throw the David Haye/Richard Schaefer - "Hayemaker Ringstar" newbies into the mix and it surely leaves the UK fight scene in it's best EVER position.

It's all looking rather good and British Boxing is rocking at the moment

I don't think he will blow him away early but I also do think he will go for it. He's like a shark now that wants blood.

I think Quinlan will be there till late. Might get pulled out. He's going to be the naturally strongest opponent Jr has faced. Will be a good show case for Jr to show off that work rate and exciting combinations with a small chance of a slip up if Quinlan catches him flush.

How do we see the Price v Hammer fight going? Could be the end of Prices career.....

Does not matter if they end up rubbish fights, the point is we all knew GGG v Brook was a mis match and Haye v Bellew will be the same. Have a word with yourself and your love of all things Sky.

i'm not arsed what channel shit is on

@ross

Also will Eubank have more power at the bigger weight, if he does and can put guys to sleep he's gonna be very hard to beat.
I think Price is getting banged out, I have serious doubts about his chin still.
It's more important than having KO power especially in the Heavyweight division.

[erics44]

its massive for price

if he wins he has the same ITV potential as Eubank

there could be 2 ITV PPV stars in the making

[Primo Carnera]

Only difference is that there is no main event for this PPV. The undercard is good, but it is an undercard.

Chris Eubank Junior hopes beating Renold Quinlan will set up a rematch with domestic rival Billy Joe Saunders.

Eubank is still hurt by his only pro defeat to Saunders back in November 2014 when he dropped a split decision to the Traveller.

He is determined to avenge that defeat against the current WBO middleweight king, even though he has stepped up to challenge Quinlan at 168lbs for the IBO title tonight at London's Olympia, live on ITV Box Office.

"Saunders, I'm never, ever going to get past that fight," he said. "I'm never going to have him out of mind until I right that wrong.

"He has a win over me. I need to even the score."

Eubank, 27, knows the IBO is lightly-regarded, but feels winning the title could lead to bigger fights.

He still wants unbeaten middleweight king Gennady Golovkin after talks for a fight between them broke down last summer and is also eyeing up IBF super-middleweight champ James DeGale.

"After this, I'm coming for everybody," he said. "DeGale, I want the rest of those teeth he didn't lose against Badou Jack. I've told everybody I'm going to put them on my mantelpiece.

"Golovkin, he's seen by some of you guys as one of the best in the world. I don't see that. I can see holes. I've got a nice little plan for that man. Golovkin, I'm coming for you."

ITV hope Eubank can launch their return to big-time boxing and the challenger is grateful to Quinlan for flying over from Australia to face him.

Quinlan is not highly rated and this is only his 12th pro fight, but he did knock out former WBA middleweight champ Daniel Geale in two rounds to claim the IBO crown in October.

Eubank, who is 23-1-0, said: "He's travelled halfway across the world to come here and defend his title. I’ve got respect for that; he didn’t have to do that, he could have taken the easy route."

Chris Eubank Jnr hoping victory over Renold Quinlan will offer chance of revenge against Billy Joe Saunders

Hopefully now then, instead of picking famous well known fighters, Sky/Matchroom will follow this ITV/Eubank model by picking totally obscure fighters, you've never heard of let alone seen, to headline future PPV's.

If you heard of them does not mean they will be more competitive. Is a fighter 2 weights below taking a world class fighter worthy of of ppv?

[Fenster]

Depends on what you consider "worthy"

PPV's between well known world-class fighters may well not be more competitive, in fact they could be considered a mismatch, however, you KNOW what you're spending money on.

If you believe fighters you've never heard of make for better "worthy" PPV's then fine.
