Christopher Livingstone Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Nigel Benn & Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna RBR.

Benn would break his hand on Canelo’s chin.

 

TBF, looks-wise, he was never blessed...

 

Outstanding fight. Can seem wide on first instinct just because they both gave so much but it's understandable scoring when you think about it. It was close but Eubank nicking 4 more is not outrageous; it just feels that way because Benn done so well (perhaps better than most expected).

Can see some contrarians calling it messy and meaningless but they're the sort who are never happy.

I'll attend the rematch in person. Will be October I reckon.

 

I’d definitely be keen on a rematch.

Don’t see it happening but would love to see Eubank/Benn 2 fight winner of Alimkhanuly/Adames.

One can dream but a great fight especially that last round. Ridiculous chin and heart.

 

Eubank was gassed because of the weight clause forsure.

 

I can see Eubank's management having more of a say at the negotiating table should there be a rematch. If that is the case i expect the terms of the fight to change

 

With Eubank winning he should demand at least 164 and no rehydration that weight cut and same day weigh in was a tougher fight than the actual fight.

 

Really good fight, both wanted it and showed a lot of heart. Would like to wait a bit for a rematch however, given Eubanks age and the risk a loss brings, perhaps the rematch later in the year makes most sense.

 

Fully agree, Jr is getting older too, in your 20's it's a lot easier to do, mid 30's not so much.

 

I didn't watch the full fight, but as far as I saw Eubank Jr looked much bigger than Benn, so Eubank Jr had the size advantage.

 

Agreed..To even think that he could perform to 100% of his absolute real potential whilst losing that weight, and then being limited to the weight gain clause, and then to be as good as he could be had he not needed to do so would be silly talk..

He went into that ring compromised.



But still did the deed...

 

Doesn't happen but if it does (with the same weight conditions as they have been used here), alimkhanuly/adames gets a ko.

 

Eubank was clearly drained though, probably 10 lbs lighter at least than he would be at 160 lbs.

 

Since apparently we do these dumb old man fights now, a senior battle between the fathers on the undercard of the rematch?

 

I'd like to see a title challenge from both before the rematch, obviously not gonna happen through many factors
