Former world champion Amir Khan shared his thoughts on the fight with Coin Casino. Khan sees it as an even match-up but gives Eubank Jr. a slight edge.
"Conor Benn will be in safe hands, because Eubank's not the biggest puncher. He's very technical, but I think Conor might actually be the bigger puncher in that fight by putting a bit of weight on."
Khan believes Benn has more power, but Eubank Jr.'s advantages in weight, height, and size give him a 60-40 chance of winning. He also thinks Benn could surprise everyone with an early knockout.
Before the cancellation of their first scheduled fight, Benn was on a roll. He stopped Samuel Vargas in the first round and knocked out former world champion Chris Algieri. Since then, Benn has fought twice in the US at a higher weight class, going the distance both times.
Eubank Jr. has more experience, having fought established world champions up to super middleweight. He recently split two fights with Liam Smith and finished Kamil Szeremeta in the 8th round. However, a rehydration clause might put Eubank Jr. at a disadvantage.
Khan has changed his mind about who will win. He originally told Benn to his face that he'd come out on top. Now, Khan thinks Eubank Jr.'s experience will lead him to victory.
The fight promises to be a thrilling contest between two evenly matched opponents. Fans can't wait to see how it all plays out in the ring this weekend.
