Spike won me over with his 'G' like performance Fitzgerald.

Its hard to gauge how hard he can actually hit, but I probably give more of a chance against English Jnr then most.

Joshua/Cornish II, anyone?

Another mismatch, is my guess. Closer inspection of O'Sullivan's record quickly dissolves any veneer of credibility. I mean, in his second-to-last fight, he KOd a 29-1 fighter in the second round, right? Impressive, yeah? Only that guy's second-to-last fight was against someone who was 0-15.

Still, quasi-domestic needle, eh?

Eubank Jr, I like you. I think you might have some talent. But please develop some boxing fundamentals and base your hype on beating someone good. Otherwise, this is a p155take.

I have to agree about the boxing fundamentals, Qoxiivi.

Junior simply doesn't jab. I see footage of him training quite often and it's nothing but hooks and uppercuts. Whilst he has developed them quite well, he just doesn't earn the right throw them. Even though he was coming on strong against BJS he was still just leaping in. He did next to nothing for the first 5 or 6 rounds but I think that was partly due to the fact that he didn't know how to deal with an educated jab that was in front of him.

I'm not sure Booth is the answer in this respect - the style of fighters that he develops are very much the "circle and pot shot" type.

Thought it was a reference to spike tv. I was going to say yes it's alright for a bit of free to air boxing. Regarding eubank. No.
