Oh man, so Hamzah Sheeraz is throwing his hat in for the underdog, Conor Benn, to take out Chris Eubank Jr. in six rounds or less. Honestly, I was blindsided by this hot take. Seems like it’s all going down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and let’s just say I am not a morning person, so those early start times? Yikes.
Anyway—hang on, let’s get back to it—apparently, Sheeraz was all in for Eubank Jr. initially. But drama alert! That whole weight-making madness on Friday shifted things. Eubank Jr., who’s been around for like 35 years (I swear), could barely manage to get to 160.05. Feels like he’s probably feeling like a squeezed lemon right about now. Making weight sounds brutal.
Sheeraz gets it. He’s been in the same boat, cutting down for a fight with Carlos Adames earlier this year. Not that he’s complaining too much, but yeah, some folks think the weigh-in drama left him a bit on the weak side in that match. Draws aren’t exactly the dream, right?
And now Sheeraz is all Team Benn. Says Benn’s like a bundle of energy—youthful vibes, you know? Reckons Benn’s got the knockout skills to finish it off within six rounds. Yet, here’s the kicker: Sheeraz says, from a selfish angle, he actually wants Eubank to win ’cause it’d be a cracking fight down the line. But, spoiler alert, he doesn’t think it’s gonna swing that way.
There it is—boxing, predictions, chaos, and all. What a wild ride.
