Chris Eubank Jr Vs Connor Benn scorecards

I'm actually shocked by some of the scorecards I'm seeing.

Eubank outscored Benn every single round and whilst I can see maybe Benn getting rounds 2 and 3 early on because of the power punches he landed in those 2 rounds and hurting Eubank in the 3rd, I don't think he won much else after round 6, bar rounds 8 and 9 and I think the 9th was pretty much 50/50 from memory.

I think people are giving him far too much credit, the punch stats alone after round 6 for Eubank are way higher then Benn and that's across all the rounds.

I honestly felt I was watching a different fight to people on here! 116-112 was absolutely fine and even one round more for Eubank would of been, I didn't think it was a difficult fight to score.

 

Not really if you had scored one more round to Eubank you arrive at 116 -112.Are we really arguing over one round?

 

I'll have to look back at my actual round-by-round but had it 116-112 Eubank. Absolute furthest you could stretch it for Benn is 115-113 Eubank, but no chance of a draw or Benn winning

 

I had it 116-113 for Eubank watching it live and tallying

Couldn’t hear commentary where I was

 

I was in the cheap seats and could see that Eubank had taken over from round 3 onwards

Think I had

1: Benn
2: Benn
3: Benn
4: Eubank
5: Eubank
6: Eubank
7: Eubank
8: Eubank
9: Benn
10: Eubank
11: Eubank
12: Eubank

Watched it back and felt it was pretty much spot on, aside from Eubank winning the first
