    Eubank JR would get destroyed the only problem is his dad is too thick to throw the towel in

    Eubank Jr is the only fighter at the weight class with a chance.

    My exact thoughts :50: Fair play Brook, nothing to be ashamed about losing in that matter, to that fuckkng fighter/animal.

    Hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah. Ok, mate :smiley-laughing002:

    Don't fancy Eubank Jr's chances with GGG at all tbh.

    Brook fought well but isn't clever enough to be the kind of guy who can step up in weight and fight bigger guys. You need to buy time when you can, fight in bursts, vary the tempo etc but his defence isn't really good enough to do anything other than push forward. Can still be very successful at light middleweight.

    Was going to say. Billy Joe Saunders beat Eubank jr, reckon he would be the better fighter. I still can't see any anyone beating GGG.

    Fair play to Brook, he can fair take a dig.

    Eubank Jnr is not the finished article yet but I think he would lose convincingly to GGG as Eubank is so one one-dimensional, as other ex-boxers like Froch and Watt has said he is easy to figure out. It's going to take someone bigger at a higher weight or a very clever boxer to beat GGG.

    Was a masterful performance from GGG.

    Highlighted the fact he has a granite chin as well as brutal power for a middleweight.

    I'm hoping Smith is aggressive with Canelo he has no chance with the judges especially in Texas and 70 thousand screaming Mexican fans on Mexican independence day. Smith has to go for it. I'm hoping it's a better fight than people think it will be. it does seem to be general anger from boxing fans at this fight especially as it is PPV in America.

    Cruiserweight title fight about to start if anyone is interested, should be a good fight both unbeaten and aggressive. Hugely hyped unbeaten 9-0 gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk vs current unbeaten title holder Poland's Krzysztof Glowacki.

    Around 4, Rosado vs Monroe is the fight before and will go distance I think so it should be around 4ish
