This is a 157-pound catchweight bout that continues the rivalry their fathers left off. The generational feud kicked off almost thirty years ago when fathers Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn clashed in a pair of bouts and now their sons will throw down this weekend.
Chris Eubank Jr.’s Betting Outlook vs Benn
Eubank Jr. has mostly fought at super middleweight and middleweight as a professional.
This drop to 157 is something he has never done in his pro career and caused such a degree of worry with Eubank Sr that he threatened to pull his son out of the fight at one point.
The former WBA interim middleweight world champion and the former IBO super middleweight champion will be the bigger and also the more experienced individual heading into this bout.
Eubank Jr. is on the heels of what some are calling a career-best performance. He wants to maintain that momentum through this weekend.

The prop bets on this contest going the distance versus not going the distance are positioned at +160 and -220, respectively. I personally do not see the judges playing a role in the verdict of this bout and I defer to the second prop bet here centered on things not going the distance.
Also, I think there’s further value in pursuing prop bets on Eubank Jr. winning via KO or TKO (-105) and Eubank Jr. winning between rounds 4-6 (+450)
Pick: Chris Eubank Jr. (-220)
