This content is protected This bloke is built like Arnie, simply ginormous for 168, look at the movement though, he clearly has better movement than many people are making out. Strong as an ox with good snap in those punches, I think he might be peaking now!!! This bloke will be hard to beat
Agreed. He has the punch in this fight and tough to boot..I wonder if Jnr can do enough accumulation damage to subdue this fella ! Could be a banana skin for him I think !
Jr cant slug with this bloke, this will need a back foot game. The KO is off the cards, point scoring is going to be the aim of the game, don't get beaten up. Yildirim is too strong for Jr in the pocket and he will maul him if the fight ends up there. This is when you need some versatility and a plan b, what Jr has done in the past will not be effective. I have actually always felt this was a stylistically hard fight for Jr because Yildirim's strengths will neutralise Jr's strengths. Jr is a good inside fighter and has great body punching, he's also extremely fit. Yildirim loves fighting inside he's a come forward fighter and with his size and strength he will bully Jr inside, Yildirim is also one of the few blokes who can match Jr for endurance. Looking at this video just makes me think Jr is in for a tough night, Yildirim looks in tip top shape.
Shadow boxing looked good but I can't help but think there's a lack of synergy between him and the mitt guy. How have not been working with each other long?
You can get 5/1 on Yilidirin for those that think he has an earthly. I suspect CEJ will tee off on him like he did Abraham and take a UD.
I haven't seen the other fella much, if anything I've heard what hes like in training sparring...Smashing Degales teeth out and busting him up plus his trainer was saying if anyone is big headed he puts them in with him, to put manners on them...Does sound like hes about to make a name for himself to be fair. Thanks for the lowdown on him...I'm really interested to see this now
Not seen much of Yildrim but I'm looking forward to the fight. Hopefully it's a cracker, but I'm not getting too carried away considering he couldn't stop Periban in his last fight who I remember DeGale demolishing in no time. My best guess would be another comfortable UD by Eubank. But I hope not because Jr needs more of a test if he's going to be facing Groves next.
James 5000's overhyping of Avni Yildrim was truthfully the most hilariously deluded I have ever seen. he must be Turkish and had never ever seen him fight surely.
