The turk looks strong and determined but I wonder how he'll handle Jr's speed and punch variety ?

Yeah, probably but I think Yldirim is a tougher opponent than the old-slow A.A.Jip wrote:Avni will be to slow mentaly and physicly and get outboxed. Ud win for eubank

If Jr can beat this guys , IMO it would be Jr's best win to date.Jip wrote:Defintly. Strong & hard puncher.

It was supposed to be a media workout, an opportunity for photographers and journalists to gather images of boxer ahead of the second quarter-final showdown for the Muhammad Ali Trophy. Unfortunately, technical difficulties forced a change from workout to hastily arranged press conference ahead of this Saturday’s eagerly awaited contest between Britain’s Chris Eubank Junior and unbeaten Turkish prospect, Avni Yildirim.
Eubank Junior and his team were due to attend but cancelled at the 11th hour citing security concerns. According to Ahmet Oner, Yildirim’s manager and trainer, Eubank Senior expressed concerns for Juniors’ safety in a crowd of majority Turkish support for Yildirim.
“He [Junior] shows a little bit of disrespect to the organisation, to us personally and to my fans, especially his father last night, he said ‘oh I don’t know, my son is in danger, dangerous people, hooligans’ but you saw them, they are all nice, cool guys” explained Oner, translating for Yildirim. “He’s arrogant, respectless, very bad behavior. It’s not nice.”

He thinks he’s a wrecking machine but he is not a heavy puncher. Definitely enough on them to impact the fight, but his strength is volume

Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
not that much of a puncher. a workrate guy who overwhelms and stops by landings loads. great engine and speed. seems to have good chin. fought half a fight as inexperienced guy against bjs, and still almost won and was ragdolling him in the end. now he fights from the start and jabs more.FastestHandsInThewest wrote:Ehh I don't see it.apollo creed wrote:FastestHandsInThewest wrote:Jr power will be too much I predict a tko.I think Jr's power is almost identical with Willie Monroe Jr's power.
eubank is a top talent and will make a good fighter in avni look like a bum. ppl underrating avni just because hes not a big name and to make eubanks win not look as good. ppl love to hate him.
Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
Agree with parts of this but don’t agree with you thinking he has a jab now. His jab is really pretty average now imojamamb wrote:not that much of a puncher. a workrate guy who overwhelms and stops by landings loads. great engine and speed. seems to have good chin. fought half a fight as inexperienced guy against bjs, and still almost won and was ragdolling him in the end. now he fights from the start and jabs more.FastestHandsInThewest wrote:Ehh I don't see it.apollo creed wrote:

Also Saunders was also inexperienced when they fought. So junior fans can cram that excuse
He’s good but unproven vs opponents at Euro level or above
Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
Saunders way more experienced. way more amateur fights and already was british and euro champ. already fought solid fighters like ryder, spike, fletcher, blackwell, etc. and went 12 rounds many times. look at who eubank fought. no one. and only had about 25 amateur fights. never paced himself for 12 before unlike saunders.Ossyrules wrote:Agree with parts of this but don’t agree with you thinking he has a jab now.

total stupidity to act like they had similar experience. eubank had way more potential for improvment and has improved.
Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
eubank had his 10th amateur fight in the same year saunders boxed in olympics. saunders had already had nearly 70 fights just as a senior amateur at that time. for eubank to do as well as he did fighting half a fight shows how much more natural talent hes got.
Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
Fair reply I weren’t really taking into account amateur stuff. Saunders was unproven also, more experienced that eubank, but still inexperienced as far as pro boxing goes. Saunders just has a better boxing mind to hustle himjamamb wrote:Saunders way more experienced. way more amateur fights and already was british and euro champ. already fought solid fighters like ryder, spike, fletcher, blackwell, etc. and went 12 rounds many times. look at who eubank fought. no one. and only had about 25 amateur fights. never paced himself for 12 before unlike saunders.Ossyrules wrote:Agree with parts of this but don’t agree with you thinking he has a jab now.

Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
saudners had plenty of pro experience. already british, lonsdale, and euro champ. hed faced plenty of solid fighters and gone 12 numerous times. what had eubank done?? guy had like 20 amateur fights and had fought no one as a pro. never been past 8. that fight showed how much more naturally talented he is than bjs. bjs could barely beat him when he eubank was a novice. eubank was knocking him around the ring for most of the second half, when he actually started throwing.

Eubank has had 18 fights when they fought. You can make excuses for him all you like but he’d gone through the mill enough to test himself vs untested euro level Saunders. Saunders hustled him and was too smart for him. I’d say Eubanks not even more talented, he’s just way better disciplined and physically better. He’s definitely not as talented boxer
Re: chris eubank jr vs avni yildirim - how this fight will go ?
fighting bums doesnt do much. eubank had fought no one. never been past 8.
saunders had fought ryder, spike, fletcher, blackwell, blandamur, hall,etc. been twelve many times. already commonwealth, british, lonsdale, euro champ. fought for it all beneath world title level.
totally different levels of pro and amateur experience. eubank deciding to take the fight doesnt mean he had been tested. what a stupid notion that is.
