    Jr only does well agaisnt guys that stand infront of him. Not to mention he isnt even a SMW. Shame, i wanted to see the charlo fight...
    Eubank KO’d Yildirim at 168. Went 24 rounds with Groves and DeGale. They were SMWs

      Plant's my guy but I wanted to see Eubank/Charlo as it seems they were on the path to making the fight late last year and early this year.

      Plant would pretty much has his way with Eubank at 168. Though he's fought there in 2017 and 2018, I don't believe 168 was his best weight. Maybe he had more opportunities at 160 rather than 68. Who knows.

        I like Eubank. He comes to fight! Sparred the Cobra Froch. Knocked out Yildirim. Spanked DeGale. Learned from bigass Groves. Eubank would also KO Mike Lee and Feigenbutz

        Who knows what new tools he’s learned through RJJ

          Personally, this seems like a terrible match up for him. Plant should box his ears off but let's see how good Plant's gas tank is. Got a little tired against Uzcategui towards the end of the fight.

          Plant via UD 118-110 118-110 117-111
          Good fight. Where have you seen this rumoured man? From a good source?

            Eubank excels with aggression.

            If he doesn't bring that, it's a repeat of Eubank/Saunders and Eubank/Groves - deer in the headlights for 7 rounds before stepping it up.

            That's the ONLY thing wrong with the dude. Besides that he's got the best entrance in the boxing business today.

                Groves was a serious puncher though. Even had Froch all over the place like we had never seen. Martin Murray said Groves power was far bigger than GGG in terms of single right hand shots. Everyone who faced Groves said his power was real though.

                Plant won’t really hurt Eubank, but has the style to outbox him for sure. If Eubank has no respect for his power, it’ll be a great fight.
                Do you remember when in that fight he was visibly hurt? I don’t remember that happening

                  Not a fan of Eubank Jr but his workrate is elite. If Plant can’t get him out of there early - he can nick it.
                  Eubank’s chin is elite also and plant will never get Eubank out of there early or late it’s just I hope Eubank has improved as he has/ had so much potential. Would have liked to see him campaign at 160 so he can be the bigger man because with his workrate and chin he would be a problem

                      Eubank didn’t even have respect for groves power so he will eat Plant’s punches like mini cookies and storm forward. Hopefully behind a jab
