MW Tournament (Round 1): Alan Minter vs Chris Eubank

Eubank poses and counters his way to a cuts stoppage victory. Too big and strong for alan.

 

If Minter boxes intelligently,and does n't get too cut up,he'll be too busy for Eubank. Alan was a very good boxer,when on top form.

Minter by UD. Maybe 9 - 6 in rounds.

 

Eubank wins on the 2 scorecards that were filled out the day prior to the fight

 

How many gifts do you think he received?

I had him losing the rematch with benn.

 

The most clear for me was Watson 1. The others you can make an argument for him for the most part. I think he has a decent argument for going 7-5 or 6-6 in the Benn rematch. Watson, Benn, Rocchigiani, Close, Malinga, Schommer are the controversial wins (not that he lost all those by any means) but to be fair to him he could easily have got a decision against Collins or beaten Thompson.

But it was a running joke in British boxing that his scorecards were filled in pre-fight

 

Eubanks would have his moments in the fight but I see minter being far too busy for him and taking a close decision. Watson proved that Eubanks could be out boxed and if minter stays free of cuts, he more than does the same

 

Yea I awaiting for ATBerry to make his entrance but I think Eubank can pull off a legit win. I think the most similar fighter was probably Watson who I think was better and stronger than Minter, I think he could pull out a late stoppage otherwise do enough to pull out the UD
