Tbf, Ben Shalom looks as if he’d be blown over by a strong gust of wind and would definitely start crying for his mum if Hearn landed one on him. Speaking of Shalom, did you see Whittaker v Cameron 2 last weekend? Whittaker did a professional job on him and hopefully that, ahem, “draw” in the first fight has knocked some of the cockiness out of him. I was supposed to be going to the Benn v Eubank fight with my sons tomorrow, but one is abroad playing football and I can’t leave Iggy alone after his recent medical emergency, so we’ve had to sack it off.
Ahh bugger, life gets in the way of stuff eh? Hope Igster’s on the mend? * I really hope Eubank leathers him but he did look decidedly skinny at the weigh in Lad needs pie and chips in sharp order…
I see Eubank failed to make the weight and initially came in late at 160.2 lbs and then an hour later, after another pooh & wee and cutting his toe nails, at 160.05. He got fined £300k.
A bit of a bummer missing the fight... but hey, Iggy has got to be your priority. As for Whittaker, yes it was better from him, but not the toughest opponent and he just can't stop himself being a cock can he?
Hope Conor Benn lands the biggest jaw spinner ever and they both get some peace afterwards. My money says otherwise.
The right man got his hand raised, thankfully. If he has any sense, he will stay away from rehydration clauses and the likes in future !
Absolutely. Good that Eubank stayed strong over the 12. Bet he went for a massive curry after that! He didn’t look strong at his failed weigh in. Must have been gutted. As you say, he’ll stay away from the starvation nonsense going forward.
Not that easy to call.... you'd immediately think Dubois doesn't have a chance. But he's got his tail up after demolishing Joshua and he's got experience against Usyk. Plus Dubois believes it's his destiny. If he's going to do it it's gotta be in the early rounds. Gotta respect Usyk for offering the fight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/articles/c5ygvve1108o
Dubois’ no joke. And Usyk knows it. Had he not had the ref onside in their last fight, he’d have lost. But yeah, should be a good fight.
