It will be interesting to see if Eubank lasts longer than Murray. One thing about Eubank is that he has a good chin. His workrate is very impressive too

Plus he's big, can punch, and fights with confidence! Interesting match. One I'll be looking at!

Fair dues to Eubank for chasing this one. From what I know of Eubank jnr he does his best work on the inside. I'm not sure he will get many opportunities inside with GGG

Johner

Eubank Jr looks to be improving all the time, I think he'll be more than a test for GGG. I'm intrigued by the match up.

As a side note, how obsessed is BJ Saunders with Eubank? A lot of his social media is directed at Eubank and from what I seen its not as if Eubank is even bothered retaliating!

He's got right under BJS skin. Why? I'm not sure? Is it because Eubank gets a lot of attention and BJS thinks he should be getting it as he beat him? Does he think Eubank beats him now and he uses this to mask that?

Didn't Saunders turn down the opportunity to fight Golovokin. If so it's down to him that Eubank is getting more attention now. Saunders seems to lack Stamina, which might well be his undoing at the highest level.

He says he didn't, waited until GGG had his latest victim lined up and then BJS calls out GGG!

Having no stamina is a poor excuse for a boxer.

Frank Warren might have been in his ear too.

I'm not excusing poor stamina, just pointing out what i've seen. Jermaine Taylor had the same problem.

I've no doubt Warren was.

No I know your not and I agree with you, certain fights he looks wrecked but I'm just saying from his point of view there's no reason why he should have poor stamnia.

Hearn in the early stages with GGGs team about GGG v Eubank for September / October?

Apparently, some social media sites are reporting that this fight is now done.

Fair play to Eubank if true. GGG still wins but I don't think it will be as one sided as people think. Looking forward to it.

No matter who wins I think we're in for a barn burner here. Two bangers who don't box cute and who cannot play hide and seek!

Shouldn't be too hard to get tickets, keep an eye on Liam Smith's twitter. He said he'll be announcing soon.

Liam Smith? GGG? Sure what's the difference?

Not quite a rumoured fight, but Broner was locked up for 30 days for contempt of court.

Throw away the key.

Lucas Brownes twitter feed indicates he's in talks to face Haye. I can't see Haye taking it unless it's for one of the many versions of the WBA title, or a final eliminator for one

Haye has far bigger fish to fry, like the local milkman and postman!

GGG v Jacobs looking very possible for Dec in NYC. Very good fight if true.

Rainman16

Hearn said of the possibility of Joshua v Klitschko taking place on November 26: "It's a natural fight. On Saturday, we reached out to Berndt Boente and since then we've had a couple of positive conversations and it's a fight he really wants.

"If the WBA belt is on the line, which I believe it would be, then it's a unification fight between Joshua and Klitschko. The deal has got to be right, of course. We've got Joseph Parker as a mandatory which is also a good fight if Klitschko doesn't happen.

"I'm confident. I don't want to get the fans too excited about the fight but I know Anthony wants the fight and Klitschko is up for it as well. It's likely to be Klitschko against someone for the WBA title so the Joshua fight is very exciting."

Morrison J

Eddie will be all talk as always. Not a chance he puts his cash cow in with Wlad. Will be Parker I'd imagine.

I think Parker might actually be the stiffer test than Wlad.

Joshua/Wlad seems to be gathering steam. I personally think Joshua will get butchered. I'll believe it when I see the two at the press conference though.

On what evidence?

I think they are both losable fights but Parker has little to no defense which will make things a lot easier for Joshua.

Lomachenko vs Nicholas Walters on November 26th. One of the fights of the year.

Delighted with this. Lomachenko is real breath of fresh air. A genuine champion who wants to keep showing it.

It's a great fight, up to his last fight I would have taken Walters in this one but the smart money now says Loma.

Burial.

Should be a stroll for Hi Tech. Walters looks a completely different fighter than the one who destroyed Donaire.

Agree. Walters has a puncher's chance and that's about all. He will get outboxed and eventually outpunched. I'd expect a Lomachenko stoppage after 8-9 rounds.
