Comments Thread For: Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr. Finalized - October 8 in London, DAZN

[Kannabis Kid]

Lol Eubank has taken a few prospects O's also. Yes Avanesyan has won the European title. And good for him. But he's about to make his 6th defence of it against his 3rd Spanish fighter. He's sure cleaned out their elite WWs lol. His last fight he beat a lumberjack from Finland. They say his best win is Josh Kelly. An overrated poser, if ever I saw one. He pulled out of a final eliminator against Ortiz jr to take a nice safe European title defence. Where's the ambition in that. He's had one less fight than Eubank. You'd have thought he might have squeezed a world title shot in there. Eubank has. Eubank has been in with better opposition in George Groves and BJS. Yes he lost but he was competitive in those fights. Avanesyan has lost to Lamont Peterson lol, and got destroyed by Kava. No wonder he didn't want to fight Ortiz jr, considering he beat Kava. Mate look. I've been honest here. I don't like the Eubank fight. I'm not comfortable with him giving away the weight. And the Avanesyan fight would be my no1 pick for Benn. But I'm just being Honest and realistic here. Eubank is the bigger fight. In popularity yes, but also it's the better proven scalp. Wether Benn collects that scalp is an entirely different matter.

I stopped reading after you said Eubank was competitive with Groves.

Probably best. Maybe you should have a wee lie down.

You obviously didn't watch that fight as Groves won a wide UD. Eubank won 3 rounds at best some close fight that was. Funny how you listed his best opponents as the guys he got outboxed by but yet you discredit Ava every chance you get. Josh Kelly overhyped? What do you consider Benn then?

I didn't say anything about close. I said competitive. I've seen shutouts that are competitive. The point also is he is in a position to get big fights. Nobody is interested in Avanesyan. And the one big fight he could have, he just avoided to fight Jon Miguez lol. Lofty ambitions? I think not. And he is chasing a Benn fight. Well if Benn is as bad as people on here say he is why it s he looking to fight Benn. He's not wanting real fights, unless he thinks he's getting paid. Because Warren sure as hell ain't lining his pockets. Fact remains. Eubank is the bigger fight. Lol.

Bigger fight not better fight.

Bigger fight not better fight.

I've said all along, imo I'm not a fan of this fight, just that it's bigger. It's just opinions mate. You have yours also, and that's cool. Stay safe pal.

Eubank Junior was competitive with Groves. If that fight was a 15 round fight, Eubank Junior would of won.

Groves was hanging on, on the latter rounds when? Eubank Junior just threw caution to the wind.

Na man 3 rounds at best and it wasn't a 15 round fight so that is irrelevant. Eubank looked good against Yildirim and an old Arthur Abraham that's about it.

He was competitive, it was not a easy fight for Groves.

It was a fatiguing fight.

I am not trying to make out that Eubank Junior is a elite fighter.

But? He has been in with top world class fighters, never been stopped, never been decked, and always fought hard.

His beats wins are Liam Williams, James Degale. Those where two big fights, with big pressure, and he turned up big time.

Win or lose, Eubank Junior makes his opponents work.

But what I have noticed at 160 pounds? Is that his usual work rate and intensity has decreased. Instead he chooses to fight well within himself, very measured.

There are no sudden changes in intensity, which was always a trait of his at 168 pounds 'Or 160 pounds early in his career'.

I'm sure someone posted it but the catchweight appears to be 157. Eubank has cut to 159 by weigh-in before. Like I said, based on his youth and comparison to Porter's 3 lb cut for Broner with no major issues and Benn's "Absolutely No Experience", Eubank is going to piece this dude up. Another fool going up for an excuse payday so he doesn't take a real defeat vs his Piers.
