Fight apparently confirmed at 158 with a 100k penalty for every lb over. My opinion, Chris Jr fully intends to come in over.
What's the rehydration weight? If PPV numbers are looking weak, they could add the dads on the undercard. And for equality points, they could stick one of nigel's daughters in with jnr's fit sister.
Yeah, come in at 160-162, absolutely batter Conor and then use the restored interest in him and platform he has to chase a bigger fight at his weight that people will now feel more inclined to watch. I hope so.
It's funny how people actually believe that Benn is some murderous puncher because he's knocked over a couple of washed up has beens like Van Heerden and Algieri. Just shows that Hearn can still pull the wool over some people's eyes. He's got decent pop but that's about it. Like everything else about him, it's all hype and all fake. Chris Congo was shaking up Formella more than Benn did.
Eubank Jr will have a field day with Benn. As others say, come in around 3-4 pounds over take the hit financially. But do a GGG vs Kell Brook style number on him and finish his career before it’s even started…
Just me who thinks Jr will be ok at the weight? Always thought he looked fine at 160 and didn't see why he went to 168 - thought he looked ok against Williams as well. The way he trains I think it's very achievable.. he'll lose a bit of pop but I reckon he won't be too far off his usual output over 12 rounds.
Read somewhere that he’s not allowed to be more than 2lb over, not sure how true it is. Hopefully find out at one of the pressers.
