I just haven't got it in me to swot up on old fights and can only watch the fights live.

Is Yildirim just a muscular, squat, pressure fighter or has he got more strings to his bow? In my head, the dude is Juan Urango.

Yeah you guessed right. Eubank Sr compared him to Abraham but he'll definitely bring more pressure than that. If Junior utilises his fleet feet and doesn't over-commit then he should be able to win on points, but I don't trust his discipline so it could get interesting late

Eubank got this. Easy Work

Very interested to see whether Eubank can make use of his speed advantage and execute a smart gameplan or whether he'll get bogged down in a war. If the latter I can definitely see him losing, potentially in brutal fashion

Jr has a good chin and a great engine so I could see him winning a slug out with Yilderim on points. He lacks power at world level though. If anybody is getting KO'd I don't think it's going to be Yilderim. Boxing, rather than brawling, is Jr's best option for sure.

I don't know much about Yildirim so I am rooting for Eubank Jr

I agree with this, I can see this fight resembling the Bradley v provodnikov scrap with Eubanks combos not having enough power to really hurt yildirim or keep him off, but eubank not being able to resist throwing them and getting tagged with a big shot now and again. Looking forward to it.

Really think this will be a good competitive fight

Compared to the cruiserweight-tournament the SMW-Tournament is just trash. It is clear that Eubank or Groves win the tournament, the rest is 2 levels under them. And even those 2 are far away from great boxers. The cruiserweight-tournament has mutch higher quality.
Eubank UD.

I don’t think Callum Smith is 2 levels below Eubank and Groves. Many people would rate Smith ahead of Eubank. I don’t think the Super Middleweight tournament is trash. Not as good as the Cruiserweight tournament but it’s still pretty good since they got Groves, Eubank Jr, Callum Smith, then Braehmer who I rate one level lower. The semi finals and finals should be good fights
