can see it being similar to froch dirrell, eubank coming forward chasing dirrell but hardly landing anything of note. dirrell fighting scared and landing a bit more but looking very timid. eubank wins close decision that some ppl cry about

If the Dirrell who fought Froch shows up he edges a decision.

I think Eubank Senior is way trickier than we might think for Dirrell.
Maybe one of those fights where it gets close and the form book is not so relevant.

Eubank was very adept at pinching rounds, conserving energy and happy not to chase and force the issue. He is different to Froch and also Calzaghe who liked high-tempo and wanted to make things happen. He was also exceptionally robust.

I think a better term of reference is whether Dirrell is the challenger trying to unseat Eubank or whether Eubank is coming to America and therefore having to make stuff happen.

Personally, I'd love to see Dirrell in the UK and try and take the SMW title from Eubank. That would be an excellent fight because Eubank liked someone coming right at him and knew how to make them pay. That's a good test for Dirrell.
