It won’t be competitive I thought that first time around and even after eubank got sparked by smith I still thought it. Benn is not even close to smith’s level and smith is a bigger man than him.
Yeh, yeh, I agree connor is unbearable but Eubank and Benn have to get it on, we need to see it,, they need to see it, their dad's need to see it, we all need to see it!
If either of them were/are/ever-could-be great fighters, they wouldn’t even entertain the nonsense thought of this fight.
Eubank is still vulnerable at 160. Liam couldn't land a meaningful shot all night so that lack of durability was not fixed overnight. That's also a credit to Eubank's boxing that he didn't allow Liam to close that gap. He's got to take the Benn fight for the dosh, it would be stupid not to, but not sure if he'll be able to keep the cheat off him.
It would be a huge event for sure but do you seriously think Conor Benn will make a comeback at the end of this month ?
Apparently he's anti drugs, but he's rooting for a comeback fight to happen asap. A really confused individual. He's probably going to claim he's had inside info of the comeback date but the reality is it will have been mentioned on twitter or a YouTube video. We've heard it all before from his 'sources'
I think he'll fight on September 23 in Orlando. I don't see how the Board can stop him from fighting in the US. However, I don't see him fighting in the UK this year. I think Eubank Jr will wait for Benn to be cleared early next year before doing the fight outdoors. Never said I was rooting for his comeback, just that since it looks like he will comeback, I would like to see Eubank Jr vs Benn.
It´s possible that Conor Benn can get a fight in the US but I don´t believe he will box in the U.K. for the time being.
Drugs cheat in a different weight class miles away from a world title. This is what we're calling a huge fight now.
I agree. Eubank should not fight at 160 again. He needs to move up. Very fortunate that Smith was dead yesterday. He fought great but there was nothing coming back
I think he can fight licenced fighters without them being penalised- he's not suspended any more. Would have to be abroad, though.
Even on Saturday Benn couldn't just keep his head down and watch the fight in peace, he had to bounce all over the place crashing interviews and acting the little rat he is. Really hope he doesn't get a payday.
