Troy Williamson probably walks through Kelly to be honest. A tough lad and pressures. Kelly hates that. Thought Kelly was poor last night against weak opposition.

Do you think it will take place, maybe at a neutral ground as there was a bit trouble last night.
 
Jude Gallagher from NI. This lad could be one for the future. What a performance he's just put on in the commonwealth games. Good movement, fast hands and accurate.

Williamson is tough and can punch a bit but Kelly is much better technically - I think he outboxes him.

He looked rusty on Saturday more than anything, imo.

You can tell they’re desperate already to sell it as a Newcastle v Sunderland thing.
 
Interesting scrap. Would like to see the catch weight and rehydration clauses.
 
Dangerous fight in every sense of the word,
One coming to the end of his career the other starting to make a career!
Both at very different weight limits as well. The weight differences are there for protection so the weight and rehydration clauses are going to be very interesting
 
It’s a mismatch weight wise and Eubank will be a lot bigger in the ring.

It’s win/win for Benn though. It won’t affect his welterweight rankings so if he loses, he’s had a good pay day and a pat on the back for stepping up then goes back to working his way to a world title.

I’m really not that arsed about it but the build up will be entertaining if the dads are involved.
 
Pound for pound, Benn is the better boxer.

If Benn's team allow Eubank to go the standard 10lb after weigh-in, he's ****ed. I'd expect Eubank to win during the later rounds when Benn starts to tire due to the extra weight.

As has been said, the rehydration clauses are going to be very interesting.

Not if he gets smashed up. People said the same about brook Vs ggg until his orbital bones got blasted to bits and really finished his career earlier than expected.
 
100k fine per pound. Eubank could come in at 160 and take a 300k hit and just be dominant.

Golovkin was an animal at that time and a renowned puncher though. I know Eubank throws a lot but he’s not a knockout artist.

The pair of them will probably make enough money to not care about the result anyway like.

Aye it's a mega Money fight like I am I am interested. However, if there is damage done it could stop Benn's assault at the welterweight belts. Don't think he is good enough to get them anyway but you know what I mean.

Not while the belt holders are Spence and Crawford he isn’t.

I still think he’ll win a world title but it certainly won’t be from one of those two.
 
Looking forward to seeing how differently Joshua will approach the fight with his new trainer this weekend. I'm still undecided on this one, but I'd love to see some of the old Joshua back and just knock him out.

Think he’ll come in more aggressive but leave himself wide open to usyks left hook which is a shot both whyte and Ruiz have had joy with against AJ in the past, would like him to do it but think Usyk it’s too smart and too quick for him
