And 2 brilliant ambassadors of British boxing rather than a drug cheat and talks about weight cuts and rehydration clauses.
Hearn has had a nightmare this fight build up. Even Shalom, who was seen as a bit thick & dull beforehand has run rings round him. Looking forward to it now tbh. Just landed in Lanzarote for a week so will get holed up in a sports bar Saturday night and hopefully see Benn get carried out on a stretcher. Enjoy fellas!
Why stop at British? Has boxing ever seen a fight of this magnitude? 2 fighters with amazing records in their primes coming off stunning victories. Mouthwatering
The buzz for Froch Groves II was far bigger than this Made this fight look like a Sunday league affair.
It will do well financially the casuals have bought tickets and a lot more will buy the PPV. The fight itself it has simply been built off the back of both their fathers deep seated hatred/rivalry, the two entering the ring Saturday night both wouldn't of lasted three rounds with either Benn and Eubank snr. It's a fight that has caught the UK publics curiosity more than imagination, nothing more or less.
No never. This is the biggest fight in the world. Truth be told I haven't had a wink of sleep this week due to the excitement.
Eubank being hilarious in the final press conference once again. Eddie getting talked off stage by him was the highlight. No idea who the Ring Magazine representative was, but he was gunning the promoters and telling them that the shows they put on are rubbish
You can tell that guy totally rattled Hearn. This whole stuff about the sparring is turning into a nonsense. You’d think by the way Nigel is talking Benn flattened Scull and KO’d the other two as well. Notice neither of Sims or Nigel have indicated there was even a knockdown scored by Benn. Who knows, Scull might well have been totally out of shape. Sounds to me it was simply an even spar with Scull not being told about Benn’s preference for 40 second rests and Scull lacking in fitness. It’s classless to talk about sparring at all but I could understand it if Conor Benn actually knocked out Scull or flattened him. He didn’t so it’s all just pantomime.
I was surprised at Nigel making such a big deal out of sparring and thought that was muggy to be honest. Didn't think that fella from the ring was ever gonna shut up...
