Brace yourselves for a potential combat between Mexican celebrity Canelo Alvarez and British star Chris Eubank Junior. We’ve been threatened with discuss of this combat occurring earlier than, with followers being lower than blissful, seeing everyone knows who we wish to see Canelo combat (David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol in a rematch, Christian Mbilli, with every of those three fighters way more interesting, and worthy, of a shot at Canelo).
Eubank Jr says he would grow to be “the Face of Boxing” with a win over Canelo. Make of that assertion what you’ll. Eubank’s promoter, Ben Shalom, says talks have recommenced over the combat.
“That combat can completely occur throughout the subsequent yr,” Eubank Jr informed Sky Sports activities. “He doesn’t have the pool of fighters out there – there aren’t names left that combat followers wish to see. After Benavidez, there are not any different guys. Perhaps [Artur] Beterbiev and Bivol however they aren’t in his weight class and he in all probability received’t go up for these guys. Me and Canelo could be a hell of a build-up. Two very totally different personalities, very totally different background. That will be a whole lot of enjoyable. Will probably be a whole lot of enjoyable.”
However would this one be a enjoyable combat it it occurred? Would YOU be blissful to see Canelo combat Eubank, both in Might or September of subsequent yr? Once more, I’d a lot moderately see Canelo combat Benavidez (duh!), Bivol once more, or the all-action, extremely ranked and unbeaten Mbilli over Eubank. However as we all know, Canelo, 62-2-2(39) fights who Canelo desires to combat at this stage of his profession.
Does Canelo like the thought of dealing with the cocksure, some would say conceited Brit? Eubank, 34-3(25) is coming off a stoppage win over Kamil Szeremeta, whereas Canelo was final seen hammering out a large resolution win over one other large talker in Edgar Berlanga, this again in September. That combat did fairly nicely on the P-P-V Field-Workplace, and possibly a Canelo-Eubank combat would additionally promote.
However once more, would YOU purchase it?
