Eubank Jr.’s Soul-Snatch Warning
If Eubank Jr’s prediction comes true, it’ll be a significant disappointment for promoter Eddie Hearn. He’s hoping Benn will redeem himself so he can plug him in for some large fights at 147. One other loss would ship him again all the way down to welterweight, forcing an costly, time-consuming rebuild job.
Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) might want to make large adjustments in his recreation for him to have an opportunity of profitable the rematch on Saturday. Final April, he was swinging for the fences, hoping to attain a one-punch knockout as he’d performed in opposition to the lower-level welterweights that he’d constructed his report on. What he found is that he wanted extra to beat Eubank Jr., and he had nothing extra to supply.

Eubank Jr: “Proper, it was my group that needed a weight restriction [rolls eyes].
Benn: “You’re getting paid an absolute fortune to struggle a welterweight. I don’t know what you’re moaning about. Go struggle [Carlos] Adames. You wish to struggle a welterweight.”
Eubank Jr: “I’m going to do precisely what I did to you in April. I’m going to take your soul.”
Benn: “For a middleweight, you punch like a fairy.”
What Benn must do is pressure Eubank Jr. into a quick sufficient tempo to put on him down. Can he do this? It’s uncertain as a result of final time it was Eubank Jr. who wore down Benn and beat the brakes off of him within the final 4 to 6 rounds.
Eubank’s Late-Spherical Blueprint
Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) proved his mastery final April over Benn (23-1, 14 KOs), beating him by a 12-round unanimous determination in a struggle that proved compelling for less than the primary half.
