Chris Eubank Sr vs Bennie Briscoe At MW

And thats your opinion. I just happen to disagree with it.

 

And that's fine. You doubled down, as did i.

 

The Benny Briscoe up through the one who lost to Hagler beats Eubank. Even though Hagler won, he was in peril in that fight. It's not often you see someone with their head on Haglers chest forcing him to the ropes for the majority of a fight. Eubank was nowhere near as good and versatile as prime pre-title Hagler was and his hands were full.

Incidentally this fight also shows how beautiful Hagler could box of the backfoot.

 

Bump.
I’m sorry, I just don’t get how Briscoe can be favoured here and I can’t see how he is being favoured, he’s strong, tough and hits hard, but he’s predictable, doesn’t have a great defence or the fastest hands and has cement feet, Eubank would light him up like a tree doused in petrol.
He’d stick that jab to get Briscoe to step in, then Eubank would slip in land vicious uppercuts and follow up rights as Briscoe tries to get away, he’d time his rhythm so easily.
Benn is quite unpredictable and Eubank was able to time his rhythm eventually, time his head movement and was lighting him up towards the end.
Eubank was elite against guys who would come at him, he had elite punch selection.
This looks very much like Briscoe’s Valdez fight the difference being that Eubank is more versatile on the outside than Valdez so he has more ways of using the lead hand to score and set up long range punches, has more ways of getting Briscoe to commit, has a better jab and is more slippery so he can slip to the side as they come in and slip in punches Briscoe doesn’t see coming.

Horrible stylistic matchup for Briscoe.
