The Eubank jr vs Conor Benn prediction thread !

eubank jr has a solid chin. whilst Benn looks like he can punch, he couldnt hurt granados or formella so hes definitely not a massive puncher. Moving up 1 and a half weight divisions , can't see him hurting eubank jr. Expecting a Jr win. Hope I'm wrong though, would be hilarious if Benn KO'd him.

 

Eubank Via uppercut

 

Did Granados even win one round? though in fairness he isn't a true welterweight, man Benn is very eager to prove his worth, nice to see a fighter who actually wants it all.

 

Call this fight what it is, a money grab. They aren't fighting for anything.

 

Originally I picked Eubank I thought Hearn was making a similar mistake he had made with Brook fighting GGG. After having some time to think I am starting to lean towards Benn. Eubank is nowhere near as dangerous as GGG was also the fight is at 157 and Eubank always looks shredded in great shape so not sure how much he can suck down and still be healthy. Benn has good momentum at the moment his confidence is high and I could see him hurting and getting the better of a compromised Eubank Jnr. I hope I am wrong though as both guys are douche bags but I find Benn more irritating because at least Eubank knows he's a douche, Benn actually thinks that he is a cool guy LOL.

 

This is nothing like Brooks and GGG. The BIG difference here is Eubank is coming down in weight. Its not like Benn is moving up to face Eubank at Eubank's natural weight like Brooks did with GGG.

 

This just means that, in true Matchroom style, they get to do it all over again in a "highly anticipated" rematch.

 

I would love Benn to pull this off but he’s got little to no chance against someone soo much bigger.

EJ isn’t great or even that good but should make light work of Benn. I’m expecting an 10-2 for EJ with lots of RJJ style showboating along the way.

I was starting to like Connor Benn and it’s a shame to see him take a money grab over building what looked like a promising career.

 

Groves is a huge puncher though, and Eubank was too small for 168. However, I think he’s declined since joining Roy Jones. He looked poor against Marcus Morrison and Liam Williams; the old Eubank would have stopped Williams for sure with all those knockdowns.
