    Charismatic? At best they're substandard pantomime dames. Take away the physical attributes and they'd be two annoying guys you wouldn't choose to sit next to in the pub.

    Both are intelligent, articulate, fierce, highly talented but also manage to maintain a sense of modesty. Very likeable. Along with Tyson Fury and Joe Joyce they are the best the country has to offer at the moment.

    I couldn’t be more excited for this.

    Like others have said, this fight is entirely down to how Eubank deals with the weight, because not only is he the bigger man, he's also the much better boxer. Yes, he has his limitation but he has at least proven himself to be fringe World level, unlike the protected hype job Benn who is domestic level and nothing more. So if Eubank is anything above 70% then Benn gets battered and stopped.

    I think Eubank on points, it will be close due to the rehydration clause as well as the weight. Don’t be surprised if it’s a draw so they can do a rematch at a stadium in the summer.

    Eubank to be too big and strong for Benn despite the weight reduction. Benn will throw plenty of leather but most of it will land on arms and gloves.
    Eubank by stoppage sometime after the 6th.

    Despite Benn claiming he's going for the KO, I've got a sneaky feeling Tony Simms is planning for him to hit and run, use his speed and fitness to keep moving, jab and move and not stay in the pocket and have tear up, try and outpoint CEJ. I reckon Benn keeps it up for two rounds, gets greedy and loses his composure, then gets countered and beaten up by the 5th. Towel comes in by round 7.

    Eubank Jr wears Benn down and takes him out in the championship rounds. No need for Jr to get involved in a brawl inside early doors.

    Is this fight really £28? Or am I misreading something?

    You have misread

    Don't believe your eyes, believe your ears, Hearn has told us PPV is dead. One monthly sub now for all boxing content. The future. £8.99 a month bro

    Eubank carries Benn and wins a decision, setting up the rematch nobody wants but everyone saw coming

    You not misreading. £19.99 for the PPV and you're forced to sign up for 1 month at £7.99. Which you have to remember to cancel, it's a little dishonest as they will make a fair chunk from people forgetting to cancel over the coming months.
    This should have been £11.99 for subscribers and £19.99 for non-subscribers. Then people can choose to subscribe and get it for £11.99.

    I use the word should in the loosest sense of the term here!!!

    I usually moan about fights like this but end up watching. Won’t be watching this, really dislike them both and the fight is a farce. I haven’t even seen one bit of build up.

    Double ko, hopefully.

    Part of Hearn is probably hoping something bad happens to Eubank so he can use it as a marketing tool to sell Benn as a dangerous killer. That's about where we are at now with this cynical circus shite.

    I don’t think Hearn is the type of guy to wish ‘something bad’ to happen to a guy who is pretty much the brother in law of his right hand man.

    Not sure what you’ve seen in his character to think that.
