    Good accurate, professional scoring. It's nice to see the judges get it correct for once. Judges scorecards also mirroring how the bookies were seeing it (who are rarely wrong) as the odds on Eubank were plummeting

    That’s what I said. Don’t have to be great boxers to be an enjoyable fight as I’ve seen many an entertaining street/pub/playground fight. That’s exactly what that was like, both average at best both living off their dads but great scrap.

    I haven’t seen the punch stats, but in the early rounds, even though Benn was busier he was hitting fresh air with many of his shots and looked very erratic to me.

    They were seeing it a lot closer than me and certainly the judges.
    Did anybody watch on DAZN ? I mean if anyone could stomach Bellew I’d love to know what he thought.

    Eubank shouldn’t be going anywhere near 160lb again.

    It was really bad in the CBS-Glanton fight.

    and Eubank Jr is a nice guy, right?

    DoubleG95Fanatic nicely summed up why Eubank Jr is unlikeable..

    I had it either 6-6 or Eubank just nicking it on that 12th round alone. Eubank should retire now. Benn's defence is atrocious and a world-class operator would have either stopped him or won a lopsided UD.

    If there is a rematch, Eubank should make it a catchweight of 164lb and no rehydration clause.

    I’m not sure ‘thinks he’s better than he is’ compares to failing drug tests.

    Failed drug tests:

    Eubank 0
    Benn 2

    End of.

    Was a decent atmosphere in the stadium tonight and not a bad view even from the cheap seats

    Thouht from where i was Benn might have won the first few rounds then Eubank took over

    Benn was wild, like a Dillian Whyte tribute act

    Great win for boxing as a whole tonight

    Drug cheats can **** off
