    No. I think Eubank either fights Canelo to cash out or he retires. He was seriously hurting in that fight and its a testament to his indomitable will and strength that he could throw 300 punches in the last round to win the fight. Roy Jones said after he drained to get down to fight Tarver, his body NEVER felt right again. It is the same for Eubank. If he keeps fighting, he could get seriously hurt. Benn, who is not a big puncher, had him hurt a few times which shows his punch resistance is not what it was. He is in hospital now and that, if nothing else, should tell him that it is time to get out with his faculties and enjoy his money.

    If he rematches Benn, who now knows he can take Eubank's best shots and will know he has to be better defensively and will probably improve, he could knock Eubank out and that would tarnish this well-earned victory.

    Voted yes but I changed my mind.

    This wasn't a realistic match up in the first place but somehow they made it work. Both should leave it at that and just enjoy all the buzz this one generated. Both walk away (relatively) healthy and gave the fight fans a memorable one.

    I was one of those who wasn't bothered by the first fight, was just a cash grab. But damn it was an entertaining fight and both showed real grit to slug it out like that. Sure the skills on display were not on the level of their fathers fights but it was still a damn good fight. So yes I'd like to see it again.

    Question is will Eubank be the same? He looked gassed out for a lot of the 2nd half of that fight and just simply won on sheer grit alone and is still in hospital now according to latest reports. Making the weight clearly drained him and can he do that again at his age and still be the same, especially if there is another rehydration clause for the rematch.

    Yeah that's what I thought too. It also hurt him I think but overall when both were slugging it out in the final rounds it was that extra body weight that was probably the decider. It allowed him to lean on Benn and keep him on the ropes.

    Let’s see it again. I get the feeling we might get a trilogy.

    It was too good to not re-run. Time is on Benn’s side here. It’ll require being at a catchweight though at the minimum. Eubank just cannot do 160 again. He’s shredded, looked half dead at weigh in, and still couldn’t quite make it.

    for all the people who say Benn can’t win, did you not notice the multiple times he had Eubank in serious trouble?

    and Eubank doing his initial ring walk to Simply the Best, with Sr at his side? Chefs kiss to that fight.

    If I were Eubank, I’d aim to re-run this for a big payday, sacrifice myself to Canelo for another big payday, then retire.

    No, it would have to be a weak champ, he`s 35 and wouldn`t stand a chance v Crawford or Canelo both of those guys would have destroyed Benn, Eubank was eating right hands all night.

    Sheeraz looked awful in his last fight.

    He did and he was extremely lucky to get away with a draw, he lost and I feel bad for Adames. However I think that was an off night for Sheeraz and don't think he has necessarily been exposed greatly.

    Why not a 3rd or a 4th fight after that? Neither of them have anything going on in their boxing careers after this.

    He`s unproven and relies heavily on his height and reach, Adames was a step up in class for Sheeraz.

    No, but I voted yes because it´s better than anything else on either guys horizon. Now they have a genuine rivalry and something meaningful to strive for.
    CEJ is on his way out, and Benn has lost all momentum.

    No

    Bigger man who has way more expierance and resume won

    Only way Ben would win this fight is heavy roids and for Eubank to be really past it but he's shown he's not fully past it especially against smaller men.

    Eubank was never once in serious trouble in that fight. Benn hit him with a good shot which slightly buzzed him in round 3
    Benn looked to be in more trouble in the final round when he was clearly hurt on a couple of occasions.
