Think Chunky wins a decision but should be a close fight. Bad blood between them should be fun to watch. Might not even be free to watch it but will definitely watch a replay if I can't.

If the winner doesn't go on to try to challenge a top SMW then there's no point kidding themselves and should just retire.

This is the end of DeGale. Selby/Douglas is an underrated fight

Degale worth a bet am amazed he’s underdog with bookies they might close nearer the fight a feel like he should beat Eubank a gave up on Eubank after grooves fight but would rather a junior win still.....

You give Douglas a shot at the upset?
I think Selby outboxes him pretty comfortably, interested to see how he looks at 135 though

For me it’s a quintessential example of a lack of market confidence in either side. As DeGale is shot and Eubank is sh**. I have no confidence in either at this point

I do, jumping 2 weight classes is never easy and Douglas is a very strong guy. Thought he beat Cherry as well, but didn't get the decision. Selby was protected for a long time at 126 after winning that belt too. Think it'll be a close decision that could go either way

Douglas is moving up from 130 as well though, I’m surprised Selby is jumping straight to 135, I thought he’d have gone to 130 first.
I never watched him against Cherry tbh but I caught his fight with Fortuna and although he had some success early, I felt if Fortuna would’ve kept it at range he could’ve made it easy.
I guess all will be revealed on the night.

Just watched the presser and Eubank Sr with the LA police badge is funny as ****.
