Eubank Jr v AA ITV Box Office

[erics44]

what do you think about that then

[Memphis]

What a guy!!

If it actually happens, good fight. Lets talk about it when it's signed.

[Master]

That is sensible from the Eubank Team.

Junior can beat AA who still has a title and will then put him in a serious position to challenge the real top fighters in Groves, De Gale and possibly Smith.

Bloody PPV again is the only pain in the ass.

[Fenster]

How can they afford to get a minted veteran like AA over for a mickey mouse belt on a suspect PPV platform?

Anyway... although AA is made for a young fighter with a good engine, it's certainly better to see a famous vet than an obscure novice no-name.

apart from maybe the steglitz fight AA has a pretty good record doesn't he, only losing to the cream

I think this is very good timing myself

[Batman]

Not a bad fight for Jr all things considered, Abraham is pushing 65 years old now but he's still a tough fucker, would anyone fancy him to cause an upset?
Personally I think that the timing is perfect for Jr and he wins via stoppage.

I still can't imagine many buys via PPV though.

A good step up fight for Eubank Jr. Abraham is no longer prime but is still a difficult task. This is exactly the sort of fight he needs. A win over Abraham gives Chris some credibility at 168. Lets see if it gets done.

I think its a good step in the right direction (finally) Eubanks lack of real KO power but fitness should get him a points win.
It's a good name/scalp and he badly needs one to move forward.
Eubank needs to get busy and be fighting 3-4 times a year instead of treading water fighting nobodies.

[Primo Carnera]

Finally an opponent! To be fair, it is a good step up fight, and if he gets past Abraham it's a fairly good step taken.
I think Eubank Jr. Should win on points, but I wouldn't be surprised at an upset. I just don't think Eubank Jr. Has ever proved he is top level , even though AA is a bit over the hill to say the least.

Abraham looked pretty good in his last fight against a fairly good opponent and I dont think he is finished or past it, this would be a good win for eubank jr. Abraham usually only loses to the top guys(not counting steiglitz eye closure stoppage and depending on how you rate ramirez) but he was totally outclassed in his 4 non steiglitz losses and the way he fights just doesnt suit him at supermiddleweight at all, his arms are short and he cant rely on his power like he could at middleweight, he is still a strong wily contender though but I would expect an energetic young fellow like eubank jr to beat him fairly comfortably by decision, unless he does something stupid :S it would make for an excellent fight if eubank became careless !.........

Abraham also just won a wbo title eliminator so I think he will take on whoever pays the most, I wonder if itv ppv can guarantee him enough quids.
