Eubanks baffled opponents with his peculiar manner & unothodox style, while Hops is the master technician. I see Hops looking weary & confused early on but soon getting to grips with Eubanks in the middle rounds and from there dominating. Eubanks was extremely economical, relying on his side to side foot movements and defensive moves (like a kind of upright multiple weave, or a full body sway retreat, or turning his back and spinning off the ropes, or cupping his gloves around his head & face, etc) alot & his (albeit few) step jabs & bodyshots to slow an opponent down. Hops himself was quite economical, but the lead right hand imo would begin to land home on Eubanks when Hops gets to grips with him & finds his range, when Eubanks gets annoyed he'll lead & every time he does Hops counters or rolls & counters, Eubanks looked very unsteady & long leading off & Hops is wise enough to side step, let him fall off balance & counter if Eubanks gets off quick enough with his cumbersome stuff...
