Overlook, for those who can, the dangerous blood that exists between Saturday night time’s headliners – Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. The opening bout on Saturday’s card at an anticipated sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has gone into full nasty mode. Former WBO cruiserweight champ Chris Billam-Smith, CBS, will face “Bullet Proof” Brandon Glanton. And loads of us have an inkling that this struggle might show to be the struggle of the night time.

CBS, final seen shedding in a brutal battle with “Zurdo” Ramirez, is not any trash-talking sort of man, the Brit preferring to, as Marvin Hagler all the time stated was the case with him, let his fists do the speaking. However Atlanta’s Glanton has ramped issues up a couple of notches within the verbal stakes. Glanton, who’s 20-2(17) to 20-2(13) for CBS, has stated that he’ll give Billam-Smith “mind injury” after they struggle, and that his rival is a “b***h” of a father.
Nasty stuff certainly, particularly once we take into account how these two fighters, who hail from reverse sides of the Atlantic, don’t know one another. Mainly, in any respect. The place Glanton has received his anger from, his dislike, his hatred, even, is a thriller.
However the struggle between these two 200-pounders might show memorable and, as loath as I’m to swallow the hype and shell out quantity of trustworthy dough to observe Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Junior go at it, this undercard struggle is pulling me in. Perhaps it’s the identical with you, fellow struggle fan?
Glanton and CBS will go to battle; it appears their struggle is destined to be savage and thrilling. As to who wins, I’m absolutely on the fence with this one. Could the very best man win. And if we go by the behaviour and the manners each males have displayed within the lead-up to Saturday’s struggle, the very best man right here is Chris Billam-Smith.
However can CBS make Glanton pay for his disrespect?
Going out on a limb, my decide is Glanton on factors, in a struggle that severely checks each males.
