Damn. Team Benn are really serious about weakening Eubank as much as possible, huh? I thought Hearns comments on Eubanks weight at the final presser were particularly tasteless. That little big nepo rat geezer Eggie needs humbling again.
The Benn camps last tried and failed advantage was PEDS. They're out the window this time round so they have to stay with advantages that are within the rules.
500k fine for being a gram over weight, with all the stipulations being against him, and Eddie Hearn making it as difficult for him to win as possible. Benn fails a drugs test and gets away free. This sport makes me sick at times.
His second attempt was off by 23 grams. All he has to do is not eat breakfast and go for a sprint and he could make weight
The weight difference between the two was already noticeable enough to know that this fight is a farce and it's showing. It was nonsense for them to entertain the idea of this fight just because of their fathers.
Sit there spitting into a cup. I wrestled in high school. Most of us just wrested at our natural weights, but a buddy of mine was a weight cutter. He was already real lean, but would starve himself and sweat himself down to make weight, then chug sports drinks right after weigh-in. One time he was like 0.1lbs off. He sat there just spitting into a cup for an hour, then weighed in bang on. His mother eventually made him quit. Don't know why he didn't just wrestle at his natural weight.
Contract agreed by Eubank had a stipulated weight to be made, he failed to make that weight, so pays the fine, Benn getting some nice folding money out of it on top of his purse, all due to Eubank and his teams unprofessionalism.
