Chris Eubank, Sr. heaps poetic praise upon Conor McGregor

There are plenty of fighters, fans, and critics who are still against the very idea of Conor McGregor stepping into the ring with Floyd Mayweather this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.

Former boxing champion Chris Eubank, Sr. isn’t one of them.

The 51-year-old Englishman, who held world titles at middleweight and super middleweight from 1990-1995, appeared on a special edition of The MMA Hour on Thursday to explain why “The Notorious” deserves praise for taking his first pro boxing match against the undefeated Mayweather and why he could actually win.
