Comments Thread For: Eubank Smiles: If Heavyweights Can't KO Me, How Can Golovkin?

[Ham Porter]

I can't wait for this fight. Finally Golovkin fighting someone who won't curl up in a ball and lay down the moment he touches them. Eubank Jr is pure alpha and won't back down from GGG; he's gonna take his best shot, double up on the ****ing jab to close distance and get up in his grill and let them hands go.

Eubank is too big, too strong, too mulatto for GGG.

Yes, he can and he will.

Although this is a good fight, I am looking forward to see it in UK.

Christopher has inherited one of the greatest chin's of the 20th century dear boy.

Chris senior moved from middleweight, to, by the end of his career CRUISER-WEIGHT. people expected him to be stopped, not only did he not get dropped, he Dropped the cruiserweight!

Christopher cannot be stopped.

So: Eubank Jr. is talking GGG only to sell his Saturday fight against Doran (?)...
Wait until after that fight to hear Jr. speaking again.

That's all this is - agreed. Commonest trick in the book.

And hearns has form for this. Just 2/3 months ago Brook was giving it all out how he would fight Golovkin next ... before his fight. After the fight >>> crickets.

Yes the same guy who barely made a dent in BJS...that guy who barely showed up for that fight and when he realized he wasn't going to win it pretty much mailed it in. Hell i'm willing to bet that by the 5th round Eubank's has already had the arrogance beat out of him...points?

Cleverly said Fury and Chisora couldn't drop him then he got KO'd by Kovalev.

Eubank Jr is obviously tough but Golovkin probably breaks him down late, it'll be a good fight though. More of those Monroe round 5 moments but Golovkin clearly in control.

From his point of view he's in a win-win, no 0 to protect like many young fighters and if he loses he'll at least be commended for stepping up and giving a spirited performance, with other fights out there for him. If he pulls off the upset....

Didn't K2 come out and say 160 only to Kell Brook. Maybe that's why the guy at 147 went silent.

Huh? if anything it was the opposite, he stepped up after the first 5 rounds and took the fight to Billy.

I'll always remember Ward wishing to fight GGG next... next to his 2-3 tune-ups...

gena stops him inside 8, max 10..
if he can stand and take it, refree saves him.

If anything, GGG stops Eubank with hook to the body.
