brutal win for Chris Eubank Jnr

and so,  as i stated in previuos posts Eubank Jnr won a Brutal fight against Nick Blackwell tonight, I personally like how Jnr comes acroos i think he sells the fights well, i have seen interviews with him and he isnt all the cocky showboater he comes across as when you see him at press conferences or in the fight it self. He builds the fight like his Dad did back inthe day, like him or not Eubank Snr was a great great fighter but also a great self promoter. back in the day i was a Nigel Benn fan and wanted to see Snr get knocked out, but now i see how clever he was in building up a fight and put bums on seats and made you want to watch his fights.

Now tonights fight was onesided, eubank looked in total control Blackwell showed GUGE heart and courage. Unlike in the previous Eubank v O`sullivan fight the corner stopped the fight as spike was taking a beating and the only way out for him would be to know Jnr out, the Corner pulled their fighter out saying they can fight another day. Ihope Blacwells corner do not regret doing the same for their fighter a couple of rounds earlier. The only way he was going to win was by a knockout which seemed unlikey as jnr had been hit clean a couple of times earlier and handled it. It is tough as Blackwell was fighting back after being hit by Eubank. Snr did bang on the mat a few times and told the ref to stop it but was told off by the ref for doing this.
it does show though how brutal this sport is though i do hope that Bl;ackwell comes through ok as he was stretchered out the ring and subsequently taken to hospital no confirmed diagnosis so far.

I hope to see Eubank Jnr stepping up another level and going for a world title by the end of the year

Thoughts with Nick Blackwell .  

Chris eubank Jnr for me

ok so, there hasn`t been much worth talking about the past couple of weeks, i will reserve judgement on Lucas Browne and his blood test rest until something more official has been put out there. I am looking forward to the Middleweight Title fight more than any other card that on Saturday as stated previously.
Expect a great dust up for free, i am interested to see what path Chris Jnr will take after and what channel he will be fighting on.
Will Matchroom promote him again, will Frank Warren. well not according to both Bosses, will he go down the Al Hayman route in the USA?. like what James Degale is at the moment.

enjoy!

Kell Brook or Chris Eubank Jnr who to watch

and so, this coming Saturday 26th March we have 2 fight cards going on, SKY have #allofthelights and Kell Brook defending his IBF Title against the well known Kevin Bizier (the guy who got beat by Jo Jo Dan twice who Brook beat up last year!) so that should be a close fight NOT!
and on SPIKE TV from 7pm then going over to Channel 5 at 9, we have Chris Eubank Jnr v Nick Blackwell for the British Middleweight Title, with Hughie Fury also on the card.

Well i know what card i will be watching and it won`t be SKY. I would be really interested to see the viewing numbers for SKY v SPIKE/Channel 5.
I recently cancelled my Sky Sports package as there have been so many PPV fights recently it was costing a fortune!. If a card interests me i will just get a NOW TV day pass to watch it. All the next big fights coming are all PPV anyway. Joshua V Martin etc. I wonder how many other people will do what i have done?
I am really looking forward to the Eubank fight he is never boring thats for sure, unlike yawn Kell Brook in recent fights.

This weeks Muhammad Ali quote is....

David Haye confirms talk with Lucas Browne!

and so, I have just watched David Haye confirm that he is in talk with Team Lucas Browne, He stated that he is talking with some terrestrial tv stations about money and what he could offer Browne to come to the UK and fight on the May 21st card @the O2 . Which tickets are already on sale for (go figure) If the the numbers reported by DAVE for Haye`s last fight then Peak Audiences of 3.2 million were recorded. So for an advertising/sponsorship point there should be money available. Which would be great news for Boxing fans being able to watch a BIG name fighter on regular TV without having to pay extra.

This Weeks Muhammad Ali Quote is......

Frank Warren on Crolla v winner of this weekends fight. Really Frank Really!

and so, Frank Warren was his usual know nonsense straight talking self in a recent IFLTV interview, He was disappointed that his offer to Anthony Crolla to fight the winner of Flanagan v Mathews . he said that he had offered Crolla a pile of cash to fight the winner next and all he had to do was VACATE his world title, Yep thats right i will just vacate the world title i have just worked my whole boxing career, which i haven`t had a chance to defend yet!!

Come on Frank even for you to think Crolla would accept a bit of cash after all he went through last year being hit over the head stopping a Burglary, losing a World title fight you clearly won, then finally winning the rematch and completing your dream!  lol REALLY FRANK REALLY ! LOL

But Frank does give great viewing so can`t complain ! 

Lee Selby Added to AJ undercard

and so, Lee Selby V Eric Hunter for the IBF featherweight Championship Selcy will be looking for a better type of fight compared to his last outing in the U.S.A. It wasn`t the best of fights for his first defence in the states but we all know that Lee is a class act and am sure he will be back to his stylish self on a MASSIVE night of boxing on APRIL 9th!

Anthony Joshua v David Haye build up has started early

as so on the SKY SPORTS website we have Anthony Joshua being interviewed and asked the question are you ready for David Haye//Answered "BRING IT ON" then David Haye replying with a Video of his own.. OK so it is March 2016.... AJ hasnt even won the IBF Heavyweight Title YET and the PROMO of Haye v Joshua has started, dont be fooled in thinking these are random videos and interviews and replies this is managed behind the scenes to make a Wembley Stadium 80,000 sellout of the these 2 Big hitters. Enjoy the Ride folks it will be quite a lengthy one to build up PPV sales and Wembley ticket sales. Not gonna lie though does give a little tingle downstairs when i think of the fight actually happening ;#0

Billy Joe Saunders takes on erm Max Bursak who the eff

and so, It has been announced that Billy Joe Saunders will defend the WBO Middleweight title againt the well known erm Max Bursak. Yes thats right the one the only Max Bursak!! Never heard of him?? well ME EITHER!!!!! i don`t think this is even a mandatory. Frank Warren has picked this guy out!!!! I know Kell Brook has fought nobodies since he won the IBF Welterweight Title but all but Gavin they have been mandatory`s. Bursak (32-4-1 KO15) hardly a world title prospect. It annoys me when world title holders decide to take on nobodies (no disrespect to the fighters) but when people are paying good money wether it be through subscriptions or paying to go and see the fight they should at least take on a name that is known! I will bet that the copperbox arena wont be full on April 30th and if it is its because Frank Warren will be standing outside giving away tickets to get in.

so put in your diary folks (i won`t be) April 30th Billy Joe Saunders v Max Bursak Copperbox Arena.. Defo a you tube moment for me!!

Boxer Bradley Skeete dances his way to victory

ad so, Eggington V Skeete Main event on Sky Sports for the British and Commonwealth welthereight titles. As i thought really Skeete did a great job in boxing his way around the ring, he seemed to know when Eggington was going to throw a punch before he did! Showed that the better boxer will always beat the better fighter. So i say well done Bradley, well will wait to see who Frank Warren matches you up with next..(unless Eddie Hearn gets his cheque book out and signs him with matchroom)$$

Luis Ortiz is an 18 stone middleweight!

an so, i have just watched the Ortiz v Thompson Heavywight fight, and oh my oh my, Ortiz moved like someone half his weight, this can can fight, I know Thompson is a veteran to say the least, but if you have not heard of Luis Ortiz you need to watch this fight and then you will see what i mean. I don`t think he has done himself any favours though as i can`t see many if the big big names taking him on. He has power, and speed and his footwork is amazing. I know he had a great Amateur  Career and the Cubans are renowned for this.
If Ortiz gets a chance at a world title he WILL WIN... i think he would beat them all at the moment but i don`t think anyone will fight him. I hope i am wrong about this keep an eye out for
KING KONG LUIS ORTIZ!
