    While it's a low-level meaningless freak show fight built on their names only...

    Somehow Eubank Jr has basically converted me into a fan of his over the past year so I'll be watching. Would like to see him collect this payday and spank Benn senseless because we all know this fight is inevitable, then kick on into a world title fight.

    Would say Eubank Jr all day but the weight cut might even things up a bit. Still Eubank Jr.

    I've never seen this as competitive.

    Eubank is at least as good and WAY bigger.

    Its shouldn't be seen as a 50/50 fight.

    It’s certainly Eubanks fight to lose against Benn,always has been. Benns only chance was of the chemical kind and now that he’s unleaded,Eubank stops him mid fight .

    Benn will just find undetectable eggs, I'm sure.

    As I understand it they’re talking about doing it at 160.

    So Benns going from 147 to 160 and he wasn't the biggest WW as it is. At 160 I can't see how Eubank JR loses.

    I think it could be an interesting fight. Low on technical skill but should be a good tear up. Eubanks fight to lose.

    Would not pay a cent for it on principal. Hope it bombs.

    Eubank has the advantage in all departments except attitude. Benn will be extremely hungry and motivated to pull off a shock. Whether this will translate to anything on fight night is a different story though.

    Sure, let the hyped spawn fight for pounds. The Brit’s will act like it’s a super fight.
