    Bodyshot stoppage, wasn't it?

    I went to see Lindell fight Eubank, and most expected Eubank to blow him away in three or four rounds because Holmes was old. But Holmes came out of the blocks fast as **** and Eubank was taken aback by it, Eubank was struggling with the pressure Holmes was bringing early on (seemed like one last hurrah) but Chris smartly managed to land two or three hard body shots per round and by the middle rounds the body shots were taking affect as Holmes was visibly slowly which allowed Eubank to come into his own.. but Lindell still showed some class at times- switching from body to head rapidly and doubling up on his hooks and jabs. He looked pretty good against Eubank, Holmes.. built like a bull and a wily warhorse with good peek-a-boo type defence, but far too static that night.

      I've sparred very good fighters such as Neville Brown, Ryan Rhodes, Glenn Catley and Dean Francis. I had the beating of Brown and Catley, who were both limited. But Rhodes and Francis were far better talents, I could hardly lay a glove on Ryan Rhodes and after doing a few rounds with him I said that he must be an even better prospect than Naz Hamed. Dean is a personal friend of mine, Dean would of beaten Calzaghe in the late 90's (if it wasn't for the shoulder injury).

      I sparred with Rhodes at Neville Brown's gym in Burton in 1994. And I sparred with Catley and Francis at the Empire in Bristol.
      In your profile it states that your birthday is Nov 1990! So everything considered, you've experienced quite a lot for a 15 year old ! To say you sparred these guys and had the beating of Catley and Brown cos they were limited, in 1994 when you were 4 year old . By now you must be a real world beater

            Btw, Holmes said in the post-fight interview (after Eubank fight) that he'd been sparring with Toney and said Eubank "isn't busy enough" to beat Toney, he thought Toney would win a close decision against Eubank (mentioning Toney was "younger and craftier" and also said Toney hit him harder in the gym than Eubank did).

            I disagree with that, Eubank had the style to beat Toney. Even Toney admitted that Eubank was the guy he would most struggle to figure out.

            Anyway, your a ****er, Rockin.
