Eubank Jn vs Yildirim, this Saturday.

I'd almost be tempted to pay for it just to see Yildirim's trainers reaction if it's a close points win for Jr.

...almost.

 

Jr didn't have the whole line up to choose from it was either Yildirim or Brant, he had to pick one. Everybody would have picked Jamie Cox if they could have, that's a guarantee to a semi.

 

Yildirim hasnt really fought anyone of note AFAIK.
The only one on his record who aint too bad is periban.
i watched that fight and after a good start from peribam, yildirim started catching up. Peribam had another good rd or two towards the end but it was definatly an away win for yildirim
Jnr has fought at a higher level but will be the smaller guy on the night.
Im picking jnr to win this on a close pts decision

Can see eubank putting a beating on this guy tomorrow. Like skoglund the guys ready for the level. Hes decent. But eubank juniors a machine tbf. Hes also turned into a talented fighter along the way.

Always a chance he gets caught...and this guys gonna be a tricky fight for anyone. But eubank depletes you round by round. Yilidrums gonna take a shellacking with his come forward style. By the time he tries to come on strong...he,ll be depleted too much.

 

I'm not big on triangle theories' but when I go by Degale destroying Periban in 3 rounds and Periban going the full distance with Yildirim, I just cannot see how CEJ loses. CEJ has the advantage in speed, athleticism, stamina, experience, has shown a decent chin and a real mean streak which I think the Turkish fighters camp have most definitely tapped into.
I see Yildirim getting a sustained beating leading to a late TKO stoppage and would like to see that happen in light of Ahmed Ohner's less than savoury recent comments and behaviour.

 

Yeah triangle theories don't work

Periban drew with Jack and Jack hammered Degale and Degale got a dubious draw

 

The more I watch of this fella, the easier I feel Jnr will deal with him !

 

So you're of the opinion that Yildirim will win? Well that's fair enough, after all, Yildirim broke Degales bridge in sparring so therefore Yildirim tanks Degale in a fight. CEJ is about as bad an opponent as Yildirim could face as far as a style match up is concerned

 

I think Yildirim provides Eubank with a decent test, but once again Eubank's superior athleticism and work rate causes him to win the fight by decision. I don't think he will stop Yildirim tho, once again he does lack power.

 

John Inverdale on the ITV coverage....wtf

 

Eubank wins via KO, 3rd round.

 

Voted for a Eubank TKO and that's why...

 

Have to say that's the best I've ever seen Eubank. His punches had venom.

 

Timed that nicely for the Crolla fight, cheers Chris
