How do we think this one is going to go. Yildirim looks in excellent shape and i think this will be a very tough fight for Eubank Jr. I think its definitely going the distance with a points decision. What do you think? This content is protected
I watched Yildrim today and couldn't believe how slow he looks. He doesn't punch hard, he's a slow plodder with little head movement who keeps coming forward. He's similar in style to Dmitry Chudinov and Nick Blackwell, but I actually think they are both better than him. Can see why Eubank chose him. I think it'll be an easy fight. Hopefully there's a good referee and Yildrim doesn't take too much punishment, because stylistically he could get very hurt here.
Guna be a good tough ugly fight. Im looking forward to it. I think Eubank has the edge to win it on points but he isnt guna stop this man. Eubank is suseptable to a counter and ive never really rated his defense but i dont think Yildrim is guna get enough shots through to stop Eubank doing what he is doing, which is winning rounds.
Eubank is a ruthless guy - he wil enjoy battering Yildrim after all the antics in the build up - thats unless the Turk is better than I expect him to be....
funny how loads of people writing of the turk just watch and see this dude is not a easy fight for jnr
i think you're dumb, only 10 KO's from 16 wins against bums. He couldn't even stop Aaron Pryor Jr who Jesse Hart knocked out, and Periban who Degale knocked out, Hart and Degale are hardly punchers lol.
Haven't seen that much of Yildirim but he's looked good in most of the fights I have seen of his (they were all over in a couple of rounds though). But I watched a few rounds of the Periban fight and he looked slow and ponderous in that one and like movement causes him problems. That said, it was just the first few rounds and he might have still been warming up. Mentally he seems very strong and confident and he doesn't strike me as the type whose fire is easily extinguished. And he's big and strong for the weight and he seems to have good power. He looks the durable type too. I don't rate CEJ that highly and I don't think the line up in this SMW tourney is that strong either. I think Zurdo is the best SMW out there at the moment and I'd pick him to beat everyone in the tournament.
