jayzus...not much craic at the end! Great first few rounds.

If the tactic is to take everything Eubank can throw then this is going to be some finish. But Jesus lads, if not then he's taking a fair old beating here and only a granite chin is keeping him there.

nail on the head

Some chin on him.

Eubank was superb there. He may have taken a few but that was a bit of a show. Disappointing finish though!

[ONeill]

Weird one though. You don't often hear explanations like that from the beaten corner.

what was their explanation?

[ONeill]

He was too far behind and Eubank was getting stronger.

I know he was probably 6-1 down but in professional boxing surely there's a chance you get catch your opponent late on. It was a very sensible decision I suppose but...

He seemed to think that O'Sullivan had lost the power in his punch by round six and therefore had even lost that ability to catch him late on. Keeping him in there was only getting him more punishment. Sensible enough I suppose but rarely do you see a fighter walk steadily back to his corner and get pulled out.

cheers. He'd taken Eubanks best, but its a brutal sport and the fighters and ring men know better than most what can happen.

a complete mismatch in the heavyweight bout

[BennyHarp]

All of a sudden Joshua looks very very laboured!!

[ONeill]

Eubank Snr was right - Whyte is dangerous.

[ONeill]

I don't think Joshua knew the fcuk where he was at the end of the second.
