Looks like this may happen.
Not too excited for this fight, but fúck it.
Canelo is shook. BJS is pissing himself. Somebody has to step up..
Honestly though, I'd prefer Lara over Eubank.
If true then fair play. Would like jnr to get some top level experienxe first but w/e.
Have to admjt though, kinda waiting for Loeffler to come out and say "what? Eubank jnr? Never spoken to him, or Hearn about the fight"
You can only respect Jr for running to GGG when everyone else runs away from him.
Jr is a good fighter. Tenacious, tough, throws 100+ punches pr round.. I struggle to think of anyone on GGGs resume I'd for sure pick to beat him.
Good fight, but GGG will win.
Honestly though, I'd prefer Lara over Eubank.
Truth. But, this is at least progress. Taking the training wheels off and giving ggg someone with both skill and strength. Not that Eubank has really done anything but he's a game fighter who I respect more than any past Golovkin opponents. When Golovkin beats him, I'll call it a decent win. Lara would have been a legitimately "good" win though. Maybe next year.
Even in defeat, I think this fight benefits Chris if he puts on a good showing. Give him American exposure and a lot of opportunities.
