He deserves all the stick. They boiled Eubank down to 157lbs, stuck a rehydration clause on him and then desperately tried to get Benn in the ring despite failing two seperate drug tests. They've tried every single angle to get out of it. Contamination, dodgy testing, eggs, questioning VADA etc. Then went down the mental health route - Benn crying in Hearn's office, drinking every night & all the other crap. They then basically cleared themselves without any proof and have pretty much got off on a technicality because they've chucked loads of money at it and the BBBoC are skint. 2 weeks before Benn failed his VADA test, Hearn refused to let Buatsi fight Jean Pascal because VADA wasn't in the testing. 2 weeks later, Benn fails his test and it's basically 'VADA is rubbish anyway, UKAD is better'. Then they went through that bizarre phase of trying to make out they were the main anti-drug campaigners in boxing and calling out other promotional outfits for their testing. Benn and Hearn are absolute scumbags and the day Benn gets carried out of a ring on a stretcher with Hearn in tears ringside will be my favourite boxing moment ever.
Aye you're not wrong mate. Hearn's no stupid, he knows what goes on. They're a couple of dolts and the hypocrisy is mental but I am not fussed who is caught doping etc as I believe they are all at it I don't like either of them, would be better if both could lose. Couple of wankers
Lmao. So glad about the egg thing. I really didn't give a sh!t about this fight. I'm finally getting interested
None mate, I will grow old gracefully, what I won't do is whinge like a little girl on a boxing forum about fighters hair and teeth.
Just seen some of the presser. Hearn is embarrassingly easy to rattle. Also seem matchroom paid a few people to be there and laugh at all their jokes.
Is it at middle weight as boxrec suggests? If so then eubank jr wins if there is some weight clause rubbish going on then I have no interest
He works from an unwritten script If he isn't in control, he really struggles to know what to do Look how he tried bullying Shslom yesterday to get himself back in Hearn mode
but what you do do is whinge about users commenting on boxers' teeth and hair things. Growing old gracefully is not taking things too serious mate Cheers mate! you're a top man wizbit, one of my favs
There is a rehydration clause stipulating Eubank (and Benn) cannot be over 170lbs at a specific time on the morning of the fight. Eubank said yesterday that he is comfortable with it and only has to decide whether to restrict food intake after the weight in or use the sauna to sweat out excess weight in the morning - the latter seems quite dangerous to me on the morning of a fight.
