Eubank Jr vs Benn Jr

Eubank fails to make the weight and is fined £375,000. If he puts on more than 10lbs over night he'll be fined again.

But once you've been fined once, is it even worth worrying about the re-hydration clause if it mean's he wins the fight?

Guessing £375,000 isn't even a 10th of the purse?

 

He's been trying to get a £1m bet on with Eddie Hearn, so I'm guessing money isn't a concern for him.

 

Will he gets fined again if he goes over the real hydration clause? He looks drained to make close to 160.

 

That's what they said on the news.

 

Yeah I just saw Johnny Nelson on about it thanks.

 

Is it just me, or would anyone else rather see their dads get the gloves back on?

 

I dunno, it’s been relatively entertaining so far. Think Eubank Jr is gonna come good in the home straight though. Connor needs to out box him and win on points, but i think they just dislike each other too much to do that.

 

Been a decent scrap so far, and getting better as it goes on.

 

Old fashioned slugging match

 

For the most part it's been a quiet crowd. It might as well have taken place in Saudi Arabia, as you wouldn't know it was a 65K sell out.

 

Draw for me. Money spinning rematch. Then a rematch clause for whoever loses the rematch.

 

Enjoyed it & felt Eubank won 116–112 but it was only competitive because he’s past it and / or drained.

Hope Eubank wins & retires.

 

Wow. I'm no boxing expert, but that's some interesting scoring....

 

Got to say, i thought it was closer, but like you, I’m no expert!

 

Four rounds gap?

Unanimous decision?

They’ve been paid off there surely?

It’s always very subjective but I can’t believe three professional judges all scored that eight four to Eubank.

Benn hasn’t been ‘robbed’ exactly - it could have gone either way in my eyes very easily, Eubank possibly edged it too so I’ve no complaints at him winning - but four rounds?

That doesn’t sit well

 

Perhaps a bit closer, but I had Eubank winning. Was a good old fashioned tear up though. Enjoyed it.

 

Staggering margin of victory. I had Eubank by a round but with three 10-10s. Seems mental that all three of those must've been scored to Eubank by the judges.

Credit to Eubank Jr for showing humility in victory in his post-fight interview though. Classy touch.

 

Which rounds did you score to Benn?

 

I don’t think either are much cop to be honest. But it was a decent tear up. I think it slipped away from Benn in the last six minutes, but he did land the better shots in the fight for me and Eubank’s face tells a story. Close fight, a draw would have been my shout.
