Chris Eubank vs Nick Blackwell. Nikolai Valuev’s prediction
Nick Blackwell will defend his British middleweight (under 72.57kg) championship against number one-ranked contender Chris Eubank on March 26 at Wembley.
Eubank is better than Blackwell in many aspects. This includes size, punching speed, improvisation and unpredictability. The length of his arms will keep the opponent at the right distance for him. Fighting experience has suited Eubank very well, as he has improved tactically. He will use his punch to finish the fight early.
Blackwell is good physically, he has good block protection, good stamina and resistance. But all these qualities are not enough to survive all 12 rounds against explosive series of blows from Eubank. When physical fatigue comes in, the defense of Nick will begin to crack. Eubank will pierce it with each attack and thus bring the fight to win. I think that Eubank will not need all the 12 rounds to finish the fight in his favour.
