18 ft Ring rehydration clause Making the press conference 6pm so Eubank has less time to get the weight off. Hearn is really desperate in this fight!
The fact Benn’s face looks more drawn in right now making 160 than it ever did making 147 or 154 leads me to believe he’s been back on-cycle
Yup, and it will become apparent once he steps onto the scales. The plan must be to simply back Eubank into the ropes, trap him in a corner, and unload on him à la Liam Smith.
Jr made Hearn and Benn look a pair of wankers again at the press conference. The irony of Benn claiming Eubank has been name calling, he’s calling you a drug cheat because you are one, it’s not a matter of opinion it’s a fact. I’ve never wanted someone to win a fight so much in my life, Benn is utterly dislikable and will be absolutely unbearable if he wins. Best case scenario Eubank breaks him down and brutally KOs him and refuses to give him a rematch which they will no doubt ask for.
Thought Eubank was excellent again last night, playing the moral high ground brilliantly. Don't know why our Nige decided to chat about sparring again, as even if true (it isnt) he should know that the other camp will come out will some opposing view on it. Hearn is more rattled than I've ever seen him, which is nice to see for the normal boxing fan. I imagine the venue will be packed with sniffers who have no clue about what really went on with Benn so can't see him getting too much of a hard time.
The Benn casuals will be the same louts who migrate from sport to sport, venue to venue, chanting football songs, smashing lines and Stella, singing sweet Caroline and scrapping with each other at the end of the night. They are too unintelligent to see that Conor is thick as **** and is completely in the wrong. Their brains are easily stimulated by the ‘you are getting knocked spark out’ crap.
We as boxing fans know it is non title between 2 turd - the public have been mugged again courtesy of Eggie Hearn productions. Sadly you are correct and it scunners me to see these 2 charlatans make millions and millions sharing a huge pile of loot.
Can’t understand why Nigel Benn is talking about the sparring stories. It suggests two possibilities: 1) Connor Benn really is looking sublime; more likely; 2) Camp has gone poorly and Connor’s head has gone/he’s had a recent wobble/breakdown/self-doubt, and it’s the last throw of the dice from Nigel to try and get some confidence and reassurance. Haven’t seen any of the build up but imagine the pundits will have already spoke about these two possibilities?
Does anyone actually want Benn to win this on here? We have 10 votes for him but I can't imagine any (decent) boxing fan would want him to win.
I think I speak for us all when I say that all its missing is a Campbell Hatton 6 round materclass and John Fisher snr saying "Bosh" every 30 seconds and it would be spoken about like The Rumble in the Jungle.
Hearn to Eubank. Now get in that hotel and lose that weight. What a piece of it he really is. I really hope and believe Eubank is going to maul this cheating little tramp, it would be superb if the crowd could treat Benn to the egg version of nobbins.
