Chris Eubank Jnr Vs Conor Benn

Not a chance Benn got the better of Scull and Bentley during sparring.

 

Yup, and it will become apparent once he steps onto the scales.

The plan must be to simply back Eubank into the ropes, trap him in a corner, and unload on him à la Liam Smith.

 

Resume Mitch out of Hibernation.

What is your prediction for the fight?

 

Jr made Hearn and Benn look a pair of wankers again at the press conference. The irony of Benn claiming Eubank has been name calling, he’s calling you a drug cheat because you are one, it’s not a matter of opinion it’s a fact. I’ve never wanted someone to win a fight so much in my life, Benn is utterly dislikable and will be absolutely unbearable if he wins. Best case scenario Eubank breaks him down and brutally KOs him and refuses to give him a rematch which they will no doubt ask for.

 

And Howard Foster then jumps in...

 

Thought Eubank was excellent again last night, playing the moral high ground brilliantly.

Don't know why our Nige decided to chat about sparring again, as even if true (it isnt) he should know that the other camp will come out will some opposing view on it.

Hearn is more rattled than I've ever seen him, which is nice to see for the normal boxing fan.

I imagine the venue will be packed with sniffers who have no clue about what really went on with Benn so can't see him getting too much of a hard time.

 

The Benn casuals will be the same louts who migrate from sport to sport, venue to venue, chanting football songs, smashing lines and Stella, singing sweet Caroline and scrapping with each other at the end of the night. They are too unintelligent to see that Conor is thick as **** and is completely in the wrong. Their brains are easily stimulated by the ‘you are getting knocked spark out’ crap.

 

Can’t understand why Nigel Benn is talking about the sparring stories.

It suggests two possibilities:

1) Connor Benn really is looking sublime;

more likely;

2) Camp has gone poorly and Connor’s head has gone/he’s had a recent wobble/breakdown/self-doubt, and it’s the last throw of the dice from Nigel to try and get some confidence and reassurance.

Haven’t seen any of the build up but imagine the pundits will have already spoke about these two possibilities?

 

Does anyone actually want Benn to win this on here?

We have 10 votes for him but I can't imagine any (decent) boxing fan would want him to win.

 

Hearn to Eubank.
Now get in that hotel and lose that weight.
What a piece of it he really is.
I really hope and believe Eubank is going to maul this cheating little tramp, it would be superb if the crowd could treat Benn to the egg version of nobbins.

 

If Benn wins it's going to be hard to avoid the thousands of Hearn interviews over the next few weeks. I might just log off and live in the woods for a bit, foraging for berries and fungi.

 

**** knows why Denzil Bentley wants the word put about he got handled by a welterweight.

 

For a so called devastating killer, Benn has only 14 KOs in 24 fights, hardly 80's Mike Tyson is he. Considering this has been him fighting pretty much a bunch of journeymen, and his best win coming against a blown up, washed up Chris Algieri in the final fight of his career. How could we forget that fight he lost against the French journeyman? He's clearly sauced to the gills again right now, but I still can't see it being enough to beat a much bigger more experienced Eubank. I hope I'm not showing wishful thinking here, I'm trying to be objective despite my disdain for Benn. Am I missing something?

 

I agree, I'm not impressed by Benn at all with what he's achieved so far in his career. Any doubt about the result I have is based on what version of Eubank steps in to the ring on Saturday, is the weight cut just to much for him this time around? Will he have the energy to fight at a high tempo that Benn will no doubt initiate?

Also, does anyone know who the ref is? Please tell me it isn't Howard Foster

 

Howard Foster shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a boxing ring
