Benn was naturally the bigger man & would have stopped Jackson, though not without one or two scares along the way.
Benn would get caught a few times but I predict he'll brutally KO Jackson sometime in the middle rounds. This is a fight I'd pay to watch!
He was on par the difference with them was their fighting temperaments McCallum was ;very crafty, methodical and smart.....Benn was an all in killer who was out to destroy. McCallum was the bodysnatcher because he was committed to body punching and always had good solid fundamentals.....Benn had all those skills but was willing to risk it all for a KO
While i slightly favour Benn, if he got caught by Jackson's best could he take it? I'm not convinced at all.
Jackson might drop him but Benn had good recuperative abilities. If McClellan couldn't keep him down then I don't see Julian doing it.
Jackson was better schooled mechanically, picked his spots well, had good timing, didn't lose his temper and wasn't a complete dumbass. I see him pulling a Watson-esque strategy and KOing Benn, who was seriously one dimensional at 160. Watson basically used his high guard and then threw tight shots at an exhausting Benn. Jackson wouldn't move as well but he would have a lot more behind his shots. You do not want to come at Jackson winging shots whilst wide open. Great fight whilst it lasts.
