Big-time boxing is back with a vengeance this weekend. 6’6 all-action super welterweight Sebastian Fundora sees action, plus the sons of Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn carry on the family rivalry for another generation.
FRIDAY
ProBox TV returns with a featherweight clash between former world champion Xu Can (18-3, 3 KOs) and Brandon Benitez (18-2, 7 KOs) from the ProBox Events Center in Plant City, Florida.
SATURDAY
Big tripleheader on Showtime, topped by all-action WBC interim super welterweight Sebastian Fundora (19-0-1, 13 KOs) and Carlos Ocampo (34-1, 22 KOs) from the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Also, middleweights Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) and Juan Macias Montiel (23-5-2, 23 KOs) clash for the WBC interim title, and IBF super flyweight champion Fernando Martinez (14-0, 8 KOs) defends against former champ Jerwin Ancajas (33-2-2, 22 KOs) in a direct rematch.
DAZN presents a “Sons of Legends” grudge match between Chris Eubank Jr. (32-2, 23 KOs) and Conor Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London. The bout will be contested at a 157lb catchweight with Eubank coming from middleweight and Benn coming from welterweight.
Eubank Jr vs Benn is the one I´m looking forward to, gives me the thrills. What you think? Benn too small? Or might he have a chance?
Me too. I think it’s going to be a fire fight. Eubank has only struggled against slick boxers. Benn can outwork him, but can he keep up a fast pace. Eubank late for me.
Some really good fights this week. Even Xu Can is fighting and that guy throws punches endlessly all fight.
I think Eubank will just be too big for Benn, but I will be rooting for Benn. And I think Martinez – Ancajas 2 will be another war.
I think the weight cut and age will work against Eubank in this match. I will not see it live but hope to watch the replay so will be offline for awhile that day. Might be watching that while I tape the triple header so I will likely disappear till I catch up on everything.
Fun fights!! Fundora has grown on me, so looking forward to seeing him. Hope he’s focused and gives us a good fight! As for Benn-Eubank, while this isn’t the opponent I’d like to see Benn in against at this time in his career, should be fun nonetheless! Too bad we didn’t get Benn in against Thurman or heck even Broner for that matter!!
– Always willing to watch Sebastian Fundora.
– A super-tall guy who fights on the inside.
– Always entertaining………
Eubank too big for Benn, but of course he could be weight drained. Going with Eubank nonetheless, fight doesn’t make sense to me, Eubank was a Super Middleweight at one point. Of course, money talks. Fundora is a tough out for anybody, but I think someone is gonna tap that long chin one day.
Eubank by decision if he isn’t caught too much flush.. He is naturaly bigger but older it is a fifty-fifty fight.
who did fundora draw with ?
