Wtf BENNE was fighting at 170lb+ against that last road sweeper Hearns fed to him at welterweight? yet hearns is restricting how much water young CHRIS can drink between the weigh in and after the fight?? is this because it is a the ZONE show so Hearns gets to control the fighters access to water? Does this mean when they finally ALLOW young CHRIS a gulp or two of water after the fight that it has come from the ZONE? remember how team fury would never allow him to drink any of the shows own water against Klitschko. They had their own supply which couldn’t have been spiked. Yet this time young CHRIS isn’t even allowed his own water, will he be FORCED to drink the matchroom water?
If I was Eubank I’d weigh in then drink fooking gallons of water. Not gonna cancel the fight a few hours before are they - especially when it’s a PPV event on the struggling DAZN and tickets have sold out.
Fully agree- If I was in his position I would call their bluff. That is exactly what it is. I am 100% certain Conor Benn will not be pulled out of the fight, not at the last minute as a fully sold out stadium and millions of pounds await, not to mention the future credibility of DAZN PPV (well, what miniscule amount of credibility the app has left with British boxing fans..). Eubank Jnr. should come in at 158.5, take the fine then drink and eat as much as he wants. Take a second fine, regardless he still earns a seven figure purse, go in there and flatten Conor.
If Conor wants to play with the bigger boys he needs to learn the hard way. Let's hope Jnr teaches him a lesson in pain.
the dehydration ZONE, house fighters get to drain their opponents down and restrict their water intake, bankrolled by matchroom. “Everyone’s got their price koogs, I could persuade Mohammed facking Ali to boil down to welter if the money was right”
I want a proper Wood v Conlan job. Benn getting carted off whilst Bellew is in tears and Hearn has the bailiffs knocking on the doors of Matchroom HQ.
Looks like young CHRIS will have the sheriff in his corner on fight night, BENNE is getting stopped. Does Nigel have the heart to throw in the towel? Difficult one since he got stiffed in the rematch and probably wants a win worse than BENNE jr does here.
