    Wouldn't go that far. It's a 36 year old Smith who looked dead after his last fight.

    So, both guys in the main event had famous boxers as dads. In the 90s, both Chris "Simply The Best" Eubank Sr. and Nigel "The Dark Destroyer" Benn, each a Brit of African descent, were top contenders at middleweight and super middleweight. They had a two fight rivalry that was supposed to become a trilogy but never finished. Eubank won the first time at 160lbs by TKO9, and they had a draw in the rematch at 168lbs three years later.

    They had VERY different styles and personalities. Eubank wore monocles and crap (yeah like Mr. Peanut or the Monopoly guy :lol:) and presented himself as this sophisticated gentleman who could also kick your ass. Benn was more just a serious, kill or be killed slugger. They divided the UK in terms of fandom, some people got really passionately into the rivalry.

    Anyway, fast-forward a couple of decades and their sons Chris Jr. and Connor are both fringe contenders in the same weight range - but compared with their dads they're both absolutely mid. But, the British fans eat up this multi-generational rivalry stuff. They're both kind of knobheads personality-wise, too. But, in his defense, recently Eubank did make sure to personally pay out the promised purses all the fighters that were supposed to be on the undercard when the fight was postponed. So that was a cool thing.

    Really, DAZN? Showing two nerds playing the game. And why did they get the most Asian sounding guy to narrate this?

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
    Recently released. Made by SNK, bought by Saudis who have turned around and put 30x more money into marketing (like this card) than into the game.

    Edit: It's why the Ryan Garcia vs Romero card is named Fatal Fury.
