All this talk about Eubank ''surviving the early rounds'' is as if Julian Jackson or Hearns were having their first fight at 160. The entire career of Benn Junior is a mirage, a money making scam based on nostalgia for the 90s. There's been no effort at all to build a real professional career with an interest in winning titles. The guy would be an area level 140 pounder if he hadn't dosed himself to the gills with PEDs. Would Ice Man Eddie Hills have ever let that little brat anywhere near a Spike O'Sullivan for example? Eubank himself obviously isn't a world beater, but he's a proven, hardened professional who's been going in with dangerous, tough guys for years. I expect the Egg man to be crippled by body shots by about halfway, rehydration safety net or not.
I know boxing is rock paper scissors, but some people seem to be forgetting Benn couldn’t put a dent in Peter Dobson at 154, Eubank has been in there with big guys like George Groves and never looked in trouble. I’m pretty sure Eubank smokes Dobson with ease. Benn’s best win is when he was juicing and knocked out a completely shot Chris Algeiri. I’m 100% sure Benn is back on the sauce now, but it won’t be enough, as long as Eubank isn’t a complete lifeless skeleton walking into the ring I think he breaks Benn down within 7 rounds.
He will be absolutely unbearable either way If he wins, all we will hear is 'world class' 'ppv world titles next' 'he will smash Ennis next koogs' 'proved every one wrong" etc etc If he loses I dread to think the level of victim he will stoop to. It will be something/everybody else's fault just like before.....he will probably be back on Piers Morgan crying What an utter helmet
I can imagine the narrative from Hearn if Benn loses. ‘I thought the booing and the abuse Benn got was well out of order, I just don’t understand it Koogs’
Could have the sniff of an early stoppage favouring Benn. If he jumps on Eubank and ref jumps in early Eubank has to win.
This is a really good point. I've got a feeling Benn may have caught Eubank at just the right time, like Bellew against Haye. I really hope I'm wrong.
Benn looks like the Hulk ffs. Posing next to his ‘S&C coach’ who went missing in when he failed his tests. Suddenly moved his camps to Majorca despite every camp pre-failed drug tests taking place in England. Hearn talking about ‘standing on business’ and it ‘being on sight’. He’s nearly 50 ffs. Please Eubank shut these muppets up.
Conor Benn is back on the eggs so Eubank Jr. really needs to watch out. Spoke to someone who Conor Benn has sparred with and he said that Conor Benn hits really hard. He has suddenly (and strangely) regained his punching power. How ?
29 years old this year.. Got spanked by a French nobody. Went away took massive amounts of peds, came back knocked out a few past their prime.. Got popped as everyone with eyes knew he would. Cash out
Cheap tickets if anybody is interested Looks like touts / resellers getting their fingers burned on this - bucket loads reappearing on viagogo etc heavily reduced. Some going for £24
