Sometimes boxing produces rather quite brilliant moments, it always does somehow, this in a way is another one.
First off, most people want to see David Benavidez finally got his shot at Canelo Alvarez. It is overdue at this point.
But another one that’s big for Europe, the UK specifically, is Chris Eubank — he must believe he’s won the lotto according to this out of ESPN Mexico (translation below):
“The British @ChrisEubankJr joined the list of possible rivals for @Canelo and is now the favorite to close an agreement. He was a world middleweight champion and has a record of 33-3 with 24 KOs. He has just knocked out Liam Smith, a former victim of the Jalisco, in revenge.”
Indeed.
Sweet, sweet righteous vengeance. Equalizer. That was overdue.
A good fight of styles to their credit.
Eubank will throw the kitchen sink at him.
That is certain.
He could cop an awful lot of heavy punches for that though.
Interesting development.
Alvarez is also in contention to fight the likes of Charlo or Berlanga as well at this time.
