Oi oi Billy Joe Saunders is fighting Chris Eubank Jr on the Fury Chisora undercard. That's a cracking fight, god knows how good Jr will do given that it's such a big step up in opponent.
I like, I like it a lot. I know they rate Jnr highly but this is a massive step up in class for him. No love lost between them either. Eubank is going to be very, very good. This might show just how good. I tend to agree but it's interesting move going from being cautiously matched against guys who wouldn't even be at a decent domestic level to fringe world class. Hopefully he is half as good as Snr thinks he is. |

Bloody hell, I'd forgotten about that. Can't remember what the best was now. Has Laura Robson to win a grand slam before she was 21 or something, but that died a death.
This one might come good. Will have to dig out what the bet was!

Chris Eubank Jr.
A lot of talent.
Based on what? One fight against a journeyman that didn't throw one punch in the handful of rounds it lasted? He could be a very good fighter but he is going to need a lot more testing opponents than tonights to prove he has talent nevermind a lot of talent. Not seen many pro debutants look as good as he did. It looked like he was fighting his tenth pro fight, not his first. Of course his opponent was cherry-picked, that's how it works, but you could still see that the potential's there, no? He's obviously got plenty of talent, and it'll be interesting to see how far he can go. I remember seeing Ricky Hatton's second ever pro fight (undercard to Naz b Kelley) and thinking the same about him. No doubt he looked stylish but a lot of what the game is about is the ability to take a punch and we probably won't even see him tested on that front until his tenth fight or so. he is probably too young to ever face Froch but he has Groves and DeGale in the same division as him and at this stage I would happily lay evens he ever wins a British title. I'll take a bet on him winning a British (or bigger title). What timescale? Shall we say before the end of 2014. In terms of bigger title I would say a European title counts as bigger but a Commonwealth doesn't. What do you think? I'd say the Commonwealth is bigger than the British title, but happy to leave that one out. So, we're saying before the end of 2014 he will/won't have won at least one (in any flavour) of British, European or World title (at any weight)? Sounds like a bet, you offering any odds and how much is the bet for? Do we need Cos and Rob to hold the money in escrow? |

Well remembered fella! I could even remember who the bet was with  We agreed on £100. So hopefully the fight won't be postponed or cancelled for any reason and will go ahead in November. |

Wladimir Klitschko talking about the British heavyweights, and asked about Fury, Chizora, Haye and Joshua on Ringside. He said effectively that the first three are all effectively also rans, whereas Joshua is the real deal and will surpass them very soon and go on to fight at the highest level. Can't argue with that at all. Audrey Harrison was giving his opinion and thoughts, but who cares about what he says? |

Gotta favour the Eubanks. They sound like a nightmare to do business with. |
