    Benn looked improved but he was fighting against a weight drained 36-year-old with questionable motive.

    Benn should move back down to welter so that we can get a better idea of his true level.

    Eubank completely shot to pieces in there tonight, shadow of himself, no spite, no power, no legs, no energy!
    horrible to see a fighter go out like this.

    All in the ring acting like it was a benn masterclass, eubank was a sitting duck and he still couldn't get him out of there.

    Meh!

    Just retire and then announce a comeback. All clauses would be void then.

    Chin always in the air, head never off centre line. I’d back someone like Crocker to chin him.

    Who would’ve thought Jack Catterall would end up with the fight and performance of the night?

    Me too. A lot of people saying he improved. He didn't, Eubank just not at the races.

    Way too wild.

    I’d have more respect for Benn and Hearn if they just said ‘we messed up, young and stupid bla bla’ rather than going down the mental health route.

    Bellew saying Eubank isn’t finished, must have had his eyes shut for the last hour

    The 36 year old has the same motive as he has had since day 1.

    Bellew spouting more tripe than usual tonight. Trying his utmost to add some credibility to Benns win.

    I would be surprised if there was not a 3rd fight.

    The PR Machine will plant the seeds soon with Eubank claiming injury or illness for the poor night at the office.

    Was like Bellew Haye 1

    When Haye hobbled round for half hour and Bellew couldn't get him out of there and we then all pretended it was a masterclass

    It’s horrible to see a fighter go out like that if he’s chasing titles or if he’s skint. He’s gone out like that because of his greed.

    It often gets looked over how pathetic it was that Bellew struggled so hard to finish a one legged Haye. Let’s not forget also that Haye was up on points winning the fight off the jab. Hearn then storming into the ring in tears trying to hug Bellew before getting snubbed. I’m actually cringing now how embarrassing that all was.

    At the end of the day it's prize fighting. Fans didn't get their moneys worth but that will never stop when there's millions involved.
