WTF is the ref doing in this fight? 
Soldato
Two more fights before Eubank apparently. Anyone any idea when that might start then?
Caporegime
Great fight. Not sure why the ref didn't give Robinson a standing 8 count when he touched the floor and got back up again, obviously wasn't fully with it.
Soldato
Tyson Fury has been told he has to remove his beard for the main fight tonight.

why do they make it so late
Caporegime
No Buffer, no care.

Seems to be the way after finishing a sporting career, either keep up the fitness or pile on the pounds. Still don't think there's been many, if any fighters since as entertaining as Naseem in his prime.
Strange one with Fury having to shave the beard, I know in MMA there's no such rule. Wonder why it is?

In case he tried to sneak his Gypo friends in to the ring with him. Could hide a family in that thing.
must be able to clearly see the jawline

Fights so late to accommodate the U.S. market?

Chris Eubank Sr is really hyping his son. From the Guardian:
Chris Eubank: ‘My son is the most dangerous young man on the planet’
The eccentric former middleweight says Eubank Jr could seriously hurt Billy Joe Saunders when they meet in London.
“That’s why I am telling the referee this week to be vigilant,” Eubank says. “Christopher won’t hesitate and he is the most dangerous man in boxing today. I’ve met all the most dangerous fighters. I fought some of them. As a fighter you can sense and smell it when a person is a certain way. For Saunders and all Christopher’s future opponents the truth is ominous. They are in danger and referees have to be mindful. Christopher has been brought up in the purest form as a fighter. Eccentric, you may call it. Odd, unique, peculiar you may deem it to be. But you have seen nothing like it before.”

I like Eubank, seems to have a dark streak in him I can relate to.
Is Enzo speaking in Welsh or just drunk English?

So, this is a huge fight, career defining.

Not watched him for about a year but he struck me as someone with all the ability in the world but not the power to back it up, looking forward to seeing how much he's improved if at all.
