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

That was unexpectedly enjoyable. Rugged and sloppy but became increasingly torrid and exciting as it went on. Hell of a lot of fun.

Had it a draw, but I felt like there was more room to award CEJ the swing rounds, so I don't have an issue with the cards.

Never thought I'd say this, but let's see this again.

 

good scrap. didn't score it live but wasn't mad at eubank winning. wouldn't be mad at seeing it again.

 

If Eubank plays it smart he’d take the rematch, he’s on the slide and isn’t going to challenge for the belts at this point. He just has to make sure the weight conditions are more favourable for him next time and he will win easier, the size difference was pretty huge. The rematch will be even bigger among the casuals after how good of a fight it was, and I’m sure conman Hearn will spin the narrative that Benn was jobbed on the cards. Does 90k at Wembley.

He might get the Canelo fight though, as he’s on his victory lap and at this point Eubank Jr won’t pose too much of a threat to him.

 

Interesting, I had Eubank winning the majority do the first 6 rounds apart from the one where he was rocked. He started to pick Benn apart in the mid rounds before it appeared like his legs went, probably due to the weight cut.

 

Exactly, I thought it was a sloppy fight...

 

a rematch would be another huge payday. That’s why it likely happens. He’ll never have the chance to make that kind of money again.

 

I agree but I thought it was more than a round in it, but the cheat got beat

 

Will watch again before fully decide. Had several beers and in stadium is definitely different to on my sofa at home. Atmosphere was super live. Crowd into it. Definitely could sell out a stadium for rematch. Was lively after, people were talking about the result and interested.

 

Thrilling fight, exceeding expectations. Both strengths and weaknesses meshed well made an interesting contest. Both tired earlier than what I would have liked but then showed plenty heart and determination keep up intensity and unpredictablity. Sloppy Phone box style dog fight with plenty of moments. I’d give the nod to Eubank, but Benn can walk away head held high too

 

Yeah I'll sit and watch it again too, admittedly I wanted Eubank to win so need to go back when I'm not as emotionally involved. Cracking fight, dislike Benn but I give him props for showing heart in there with a much bigger, albeit drained fighter.

 

116-112 was about right, can’t see a draw and a win for Benn is like ffs did you watch the fight?

That only drama seemed to be Benn having a 2nd wind in rounds 8/9ish but he got beat up in the championship rounds.

 

Eubank landed 367 punches all in all and in the last 3 rounds he threw over 300 punches that's quite a barrage.

Say what you want about Benn but he showed alot of courage in the last few rounds to take that kind of beating.

 

Anybody else notice that corrupt piece of chit Hearn winking at someone, right after Benn hurts Eubank with the left hook in round 3?

 

That was my only interest in the fight.
