Hope he gives a good account of himself against GGG. Was in her Majestys when he made his debut early 2011 has really grown on me since didn’t like him at first
Lets hope it gets made.
Not that I would bet a penny on Eubank to win.
But it will be good for GGG in regards to world wide viewership.
As usual for Eubank the fight was just a full display of arrogance. Too bad because is a good boxer but unfortunately the genes transfer was a success. I dream to watch him fighting against GGG but most likely he will be just the GGG’s breakfast at that time.
You are wishing for a fighter to lose because you don’t like his persona, period? But wouldn’t someone who really loves boxing (like you actualy do I’m pretty sure!) wish to see Eubank Jr vs Golovkin just because it would be an excellent match up?
Olivier: Of course I would like very much to watch this fight that may be (???) could be a good one but no a match up at all since I fully believe he has almost not chances against GGG. His ego, anyway, will tell him to take it (money, may be?). However, in the meantime i will enjoy to watch also how the arrogance of this guy is wash up for good.:-).
