Our Picks:
Chris Eubank Jr to win by KO/TKO @ 1/10
Chris Eubank Jr to win by KO/TKO in rounds 3-4 @ 11/4
Chris Eubank Jr to win in round 4 @ 8/1
Eubank Junior has two defeats under his belt against George Groves and Billy Joe Saunders, and aside from the win against James DeGale in 2019, every time Junior has fought a world-class fighter, he has come unstuck.
He went the distance last time out against Marcus Morrison. Morrison is a good fighter but he shouldn’t have been able to last 10 rounds with someone like Eubank Junior. He did and full credit to him. Eubank needs to make more of a statement if he is to progress further up the ranks. An early knockout win will not tell us anything we don’t already know. While going the distance against Awdijan will make us question whether he will ever be great.
German Awdijan shouldn’t really cause Eubank any problems. We think the Brighton-born fighter will be able to end this fight whenever he wants. A quick knockout doesn’t help anyone. We are backing Eubank to end this one by fourth round KO.
