Just watched the gloves off face to face between Williams and Eubank Jr. on YouTube. I know they are there to sell the fight but they seem to genuinely despise each other. Hope Williams can win but fancy a late Eubank win by stoppage.

For what it’s worth I think in this case there is genuine needle between them much like Khan and Brook.

Williams is a very good fighter but Eubank will be too strong for him and win by stoppage

Kell Brook v Amir Khan tonight.

What we thinking?

I’m going for Brook by KO in 5.

This is a hard one to call, both are excellent fighters with great skills, I think Khan will win though.

Good call that Golly, I watched the bout , it was a great fight, Khan was a shadow of himself but take nothing away from Brook he fully deserved the win, it was good to see the embrace at the end.

I’ve always rated Kell Brook. Only 3 defeats on his record and 2 of those were stopped because of broken eye sockets. I don’t think he has anything left to prove in boxing so he should probably retire however tempting it might be for him to get paid to demolish Eubank.

If Brook can get himself in the same physical and mental condition, then a Eubank, or even Benn fight, would be huge.

It would, but at the same time it would still be a huge step down from the world title fights Kell had earlier in his career & the Khan fight.

Brook looked great and seemed to get stronger the longer the fight went on against a past it Khan. I always thought that unlike Khan he wanted the fight more than the money and he celebrated like he’d won a world title, I was well pleased for him.
I think he should retire but a Eubank fight would be huge financially for him, I would expect Eubank to be the favourite although Brook would definitely fancy his chances but just like Khan last night he would be motivated for the payday, I think Connor Benn would be the better option for him.
