        Korobov's a bit smaller, but a lot of people thought he should have been given the nod against Charlo. If he can neutralize Eubank's physicality he'll win on points, but I think Jr will overwhelm him in a similar way to what he did with Yildrim for a TKO within first half of the fight.

          Apart from Groves and Saunders (who both beat him) Korborov is the first real quality guy Eubank has faced.

          Degale was so shot when they fought it didn't really indicate where Eubank's true level is.

          Personally I think believe Eubank is an entertaining fighter, but not elite level.

          He can get paid well for basically getting beaten by the top guys in the division.

              Definitely not a bad fight. Not an easy pick by any means but I'd probably favour Korobov slightly because I think he's solid enough to stand up to Eubank's power and is probably the better boxer.

              A little ironic that despite Eubank being notoriously difficult to deal with from a matchmaking point of view and having a much rockier career path, Eubank's managed to find himself in a meaningful fight sooner than Saunders has.

                Eddie Hearn has kind of been complaining about this fight, but from a fighters perspective? This kind of fight is good for Chris Eubank Junior in terms of his development & experience 'Hearn was just stating that he has nothing to gain' he is probably right? With casual fans, he has nothing to gain 'But in terms of boxing, his own development and with hardcore boxing fans' this is a fairly top quality fight.

                After Chris Eubank Junior wins this fight, he then needs to chase down mega fights. With Saunders, Smith, Charlo and to be honest? I would like to still see him face ether Canelo Alvarez or Golovkin.

                Eubank Junior still lacks in the punching power department, but nevertheless he is a solid determined fighter all around

                Note: I don't think Canelo Alvarez is beating Kovalev.
