    Not a fan of Benn and his failed drug tests will always be a massive stain on his career.

    But my estimation of him went up he went 12 rounds with a much bigger man and made it very competitive whilst showing a decent chin and showing heart.

    On the other hand, just to play devil's advocate, it's super middle versus junior middle. :nusenuse:

    I could see Benn winning a rematch as the weight cut is only gonna get harder for Eubank I think this fight took a lot out of him.

    My issue with 116-112 is that had Benn finished strong and won the last two rounds, he wouldn't have won the fight on any card.

    I don't think it's necessarily a bad score, my gut instinct was 7-5 either way.

    But like i said earlier I didn't score it rbr.

    As with most things the parasites are at the top, getting fat off everyone else's blood and sweat.

    Eddie Hearn is talking absolute ****. Eubank won that by outworking Benn. Props to Conor for giving it his all and trying to take Chris' head off, but he's just not that level.

    I think the weight cut showed massively toward the end. Whatever Eubank was going through in them moments was something from deep within.

    116-112 is the correct scorecard.

    "Connor Benn wins the hearts".

    Oh sod off.

    The rat fought well but lost.

    And he remains a rat.

    I think Benn should go full on heel now and get sponsored by the Egg Marketing Board and come out to Egg man by the Beastie Boys.

    It was, mate.


    The end result matched the huge buildup. Not too many other sports can get us feeling like we do in the moments of a brilliant boxing bout.


    I've thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed this mains tonight.

    Benn fought at his usual ring weight. That’s crazy impressive he ran it that close. A welter against a MW. Or with same day weigh in, a middle against a light heavy.

    loved it. That needs a rematch. Most exciting fight I’ve seen in a long time.
