I've delayed posting about Canelo's loss to Bivol until I had seen the fight. Got up at stupid o clock and it wasn't even on the radio, I had to follow round by round updates.
The apparent shock of the result has glossed over the hidious marking. I would say he maybe won round 5 and he could have had a share of one or two others if you were extremely generous. 119-109 was the most common score I saw from journalists and all three judges were 113-115. You can imagine the whispered conversations saying we can't even make this a draw we'll get lynched.
113-115 is a joke. If Canelo had a good last round they’d have scored it a draw?
I know there's 13lb difference between the weights they fight at but I'm still intrigued and think it will be interesting. Eubank Jnr is a talent that never stepped up successfully, has a good chin but between styles whereas Benn is just like his dad, wears it on his sleeve, can and will bring a fight however is young and untested against decent opposition.
Plus with their dads lurking in the background could be a lot of fun.
I think weight down can work against a fighter as much as weight up. Looks like this one circa 155-160lbs.
Eubank always looks cockier/clumsier than his father and loses it if fight isnt going his way. Benn on other hand looks real deal threat to most.
Its a great fight because of the history between dads and benns attitude and recent record.
I hope benn smashes the tw@ tbh. have massive respect for eubanks father, but jnr is just on a gravy train copying his dads attitude and is a boring fighter to watch in and out of the ring.
Eubank will probably start the bookies favourite & as much as I would like Benn to win, I think he loses this on points. The natural weight/size difference will be too much I think on the night.
There’s better fights for both of them but dining out on parental legacy and tapping into a huge casual market for PPV buys brings in the money.
I want Joshua to win not sure if he has met his match though, do think he definitely needs to go out swinging this time.
Im intrigued on this one as much as any fight in recent history. Think it will be a complete banger even if it only lasts a few rounds . Trilogy is pretty much guaranteed. Both have additional motivation vs first fight, which was actually a very good fight. Josh in 6.
Don't rate AJ, I think he was exposed big time against Ruiz. Not the same mentally since then. Showed his mental fragility in the last Usyk fight - so badly prepared against a fighter who is known for being very crafty and capable.
