Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: Chris Eubank Jr. Beats Gennady Golovkin

[Tony Trick-Pony]

McCracken's got a fighter on the upcoming ITV4 undercard aswell, so that probably plays into it

I'm sure it does. Great avatar btw.

If Eubank was on standard ITV, he would've smashed the ratings that Froch would get. Boxing had quite a lull in the UK in 2009 until around 2013 when Froch was on the rise. With boxing being huge now I can still see it doing okay numbers if promoted good enough.

Strange decision to go with PPV. Maybe they make more doing a PPV?

I don't know. I wish the Eubanks success, but I follow his twitter and the price went from £23.99 to £9.50. Plus, I don't see ITV adverts anywhere on TV, watched ITV 2, ITV 1 while on laptop for hours past three days, no mention. Eubank's Snr's tweets are getting weirder by the day too, it's almost like a parody account. It's becoming one of the funniest accounts on twitter after Trumps.

Eubanks has the tools to definitely beat GGG with more fight experience under his belt, his chin needs to hold up doe.

Golovkin should fight DeGale instead. Eubank Jr blew his chance... Who cares any more?

[Weltschmerz]

Based off of what?

Speed, skill, athleticism. He can steal a points victory.

[FlatLine]

He got beat by bjs. The only time he's faced a mw in the top 10 he lost. After he's been facing journeyman not even ranked.

Split decision, very close fight which Eubank could have been awarded the W or it could have easily been a Draw. One judge gave it to Eubank 116-113 (with a draw round). Eubank showed he can compete at top level, just unlucky not to get the W that night in a very close fight.

[SN!PER]

Chris Eubank Jr. beats Golovkin, then moves up to beat Ward, Kovalev, Usyk, and Joshua...

...according to his father.

[New England]

chris eubank jr won't even fight golovkin.


he's a talented kid, but he's way too open when he throws to fight a counterpuncher and technical puncher like golovkin. knockout waiting to happen, and his team [and dad] knows it.
