    I`ll have a look at Hugo but Eubank was way overrated.

    The Corro who beat Valdes is a bad style match-up for Eubank. Eubank was less effective when on the front foot and forced into the role of aggressor; he was troubled by pretty average cuties like Sherry, Close x2 and Schommer and could easily have lost all four fights.

    Corro was a good counter-puncher who slipped punches well and was able to adjust in fights. There wasn't anything exceptional about him and he wasn't a puncher, whereas Eubank did show flashes of brilliance at points.

    Eubank seemed to be lucky in many fights, but it also has to be acknowledged that he knew how to catch the judges eye in close fights. While not a consistent knockout artist, he had a flair for the dramatic and could turn fights around with one punch.

    It looks like a stinker on paper, and I think Corro frustrates Eubank for a dull points win. Eubank could sneak a win (justified or not) with a late knockdown, but my money would be on Corro.

    Eubank. Decision.

    I just can't picture Corro landing much on this guy. He really did not let his hands go a bunch & he needs lot of activity to get his arms raised over this guy. Eubank had real nice radar for incoming punches. The over/under for the fight would be like the Leonard/Benetiz fight and be 14.5 rounds.

    I would favor Corro. He could be a bit like Jimmy Young at times and make an opponent look bad...being a clever counterpuncher with a defensive mindset.
