Chris Eubank Jr beats a mediocre Rulans Pojonisevs

Image: Chris Eubank Jr beats a mediocre Rulans PojonisevsBy Mark Calooke: Chris Eubank (7-0) wins on points with against Ruslans Pojonisevs. Like most people I am wondering when Eubank will stop being fed fighters. At his level he is bound to be facing journey men. But Pojonisevez is more on the level of a sparring partner.

I don’t really rate Chris Eubank Jr. I think his talent has been inflated by fans of his super talented Father, Chris Eubank Sr. But it is sad to see him being held back so much. True he has only had 6 fights but has been moved up to 8 rounds. I laugh whenever I hear the commentators at his fights. they repeatedly state that he has been matched hard throughout his career. I’m sure that’s what his team tell him but he has always faced people who are there to lose. They know it and so does Eubanks Jr.

News: Roger Mayweather’s net worth $20 million?; Vazquez vs. Quintero on October 27th

Image: News: Roger Mayweather's net worth $20 million?; Vazquez vs. Quintero on October 27thBy Chris Williams: Supposedly Roger Mayweather (59-13, 35 KO’s), the unclear and trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jr., has a net worth of $20 million, according to Celbritynetworth.com. During his boxing career, Roger captured the WBA super featherweight title and the WBC light welterweight belt.

However, I find it hard to believe that he made huge money during his boxing career even though he faced the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez, Livingstone Bramble, Kostya Tszyu, and Vinny Pazienza. I just don’t think Roger was able to accumulate that kind of wealth during his 18-year pro career.

Adrien Broner would get destroyed by Ricky Burns after the Scotsman annihilated Kevin Mitchell

Image: Adrien Broner would get destroyed by Ricky Burns after the Scotsman annihilated Kevin MitchellBy Marcus Stewart: Ricky Burns proved last Saturday night exactly why he’s a world champion after he completely destroyed the tough Englishman Kevin Mitchell by a 4th round stoppage. A fight between him and Demarco could be very interesting now, due to the fact that Demarco won his last fight in the space of a minute whereby he landed a straight right hand to his opponent’s chin which ultimately ended the bout.

Ricky Burns Vs Antonio Demarco is one to hype up, but Adrien Broner? To even put him into this category of elite lightweights is a complete joke.
