Eubank against a LEGITIMATE, young, decent sized and prime SMW is an unknown. His bully high volume style would give the likes of C. Smith, Benavidez, Ramirez and Uzcategui a field day to capitalize on his smaller stature and defensive ineptness, though Sr. will probably steer him around these types... If Eubank runs into a tough style match up like Smith in the tournament he will likely pull out with an "injury" even Groves.. Who stylistically Eubank would pose problems for.. Anyone who Sr. considers a risk he'll avoid.
Benavidez Wins by stoppage, I don't think eubank will perform well against an opponent who has size advantage and can back him up.
Right. When Eubank/Abraham first got made I was momentarily excited, until quickly realizing that this isn't the same Abraham who stopped Taylor, showed incredible heart against Miranda, and nearly killed fellow Armenian Gevor... This is a guy who's 8-10 years past those days, and while still a decent operator is not what he once was, which is exactly why Eubank Sr. cherry picked him.... I doubt we'll ever see Eubank in the kind of fight you mentioned unless a lot of money is at stake.
Benavidez is a very good kid, could be a world champ very soon Jr has got his own big challenge in the WBSS I love the match up and think it would be gold, WBSS+ Gilberto, Degale, Benavidez and more 168 is a deep ass division
Eubank has diarrhea of the mouth because he is afraid to fight a legit fighter. He had Golovkin to come all the way to UK to fight him, then backed out of the fight..........................now Eubank is fighting an old Abraham who only follows his opponent around ring with his gloves in front of his face and eyes, hell, he can't even see his opponent! He is also too old to fight.........................he should not be allowed to fight at all, PPV numbers should be zero!
Abraham has never been any good since he went up to 168, he is just too short for that division...............
SMW is filled with a bunch of B+, A- guys. Benavidez is the only who can put himself a level above the rest in my opinion.
Benavides will box his ears off, before stopping Jr. in the late rounds. Junior can fight, but he can't box and to get to Benavides he needs far more boxing skills than he has. Benavides has pretty decent skills, long range, good jab and very fast hands. Plus, he can actually bang.
