    Yes I just think Eubank even this old version would stop Benn if that were to happen.

    Benn has done well to get where he is with the limited talent he has as a boxer, but he does not belong anywhere near world level. The best they can do with him, is to milk him beating up on semi retired faded names. Then waiting it out to eventually try to cherry pick the weakest champion which he may have a chance against. But even then he most likely takes the L.

    With Eubank Jr, I think that retirement is calling. I do not see what he has left to do, other than become a name for an up and comer looking to fight at a higher level.

    I remember when some said this fight wouldn't do huge numbers lol.

    1 mil ppv buys is huge in todays climate of IPTV and no doubt there will be a rematch.

    Long time lurker but first post here!

    I really hope they don’t do the rematch personally, I would be interested to see how see eubank performs at 168 or in a fight at 160 without a rehydration clause , I thought he looked really slow in there and lacked the volume punching we used to see!

    To be fair to Eubank he put a colossal beating on Benn in those last two rounds, had Benn's legs dipping on multiple occasions. So although his activity in some of the other rounds was lower, in the key rounds he was all over Benn like a rash.

    I just think looking at Eubank with his age and the fact he is not on PEDs, he should go up in weight or perhaps retire. Draining himself like that to make a low weight is not good for his health.

    It did 620k buys. Still good numbers but the 1m was another Hearn lie.

    He definitely did that! Taking nothing away from his performance at all, he dug deep and applied some serious pressure in those final rounds! He just looked slow & tired so early in the fight which isn’t something we’re used to seeing from him, I wonder if the biggest contributing factor was the weight cut/rehydration clause or if times just caught up with him?

    Eubank should take the Canelo fight and then finally cash out with a fight at light heavyweight or cruiser with Billy Joe ‘colonel’ Sanders

    I'd like that, would make a fine end to an interesting, if not world class, career. but everything points to them running this nonsense again.

    I think honestly if I were Eubank I would ride off into the sunset and call it a day going out on an incredible high note in which it seemed he finally gained acceptance from fans.
    I know he won't but I wish he would.
    Benn proved me wrong and I'm glad he did. He fought with passion,heart, and skill and he proved he is a pro boxer not some person cashing in on his father's name.
    I don't know where Benn goes from here. He is still young and if I was his management team he would go back down in weight.
