The term ‘nothing to lose’ has many applications when discussing boxing. Whether you are talking about a fighter entering the final rounds of a bout trailing on points or a late notice substitute receiving an unexpected opportunity, the saying holds true.

I like Blackwell but he's talking out of his arse.

Eubank Jr has made a good start to his career and has fought good opposition much better than what Blackwell had faced at this point. In fact, Jr's progression is how all prospects should progress and by the time he's fought his 10th fight he'll be much further along than Blackwell.

I just can't think of fighters matched harder than Eubank Jr!

He wanted press exposure & he got it. Sounds like smart media by the boy and/or his management team.

Does anyone know more about this WBC tournament?
