Chris Eubank Jnr Vs Conor Benn

I think Shalom comes out of that better and turns Hearn inside out at times, but personally don't see Hearn as a massive bully in that exchange. It's part of their whole "banter" that Shalom claims Hearn had everything handed to him, while Hearn claims Shalom has lots to learn. They are both professional spraffers having a spraff.

 

I hope jnr doesn't bother with the rehydration clause and just forfeits the money, then splatters Benn.

Then Snr pops in the ring at the end and uppercuts Hearn.

 

Yes you are right in a way mate. Hearn is a right snake! Good that you had a nice interaction with Eubank and I do also tend to like athletes if they've been nice to me but it might also be the case that Benn would be nice to you as well. I'm not sure with this one. Both are among my least favourite boxers.

 

Have I missed a formal communication from the BBBoC clearing Benn to fight?

 

I thought they said 130000 in the presale yesterday!

Just been on ticketmaster, no que, most of the stadium on sale.

I think it will sell out but i was expecting to see it like Fury vs Whyte, on that event I clicked link 2 mins after sales opened and was 150000th in que - sold out almost instantly

 

I think Eubank Jr was exceptionally good in the press conference. He shut Hearn up and made Conor and Hearn look like the scumbags they are.

In his career he has always been the bad guy. But I think his time to be the guy everyone supports is here for him in this fight.

Roiding yourself up to the gills and boiling your opponent down to a skeleton, then trying to bully your way out of the failed PEDs test deserves a judgment. Eubanks Jr is the man to deliver that judgement for boxing.

 

I'm with you in this. Eubank is 35 now so getting down to 160 is harder than ever. His punch resistance will be low and his stamina drained.

 

If it was Ennis moving up from 147 I’d be inclined to agree but it’s Benn, he’s garbage. His 2 opponents since failed tests have been crap yet he’s not been able to put a dent in either.

 

This. I don't particularly rate Eubank but he's at the very least fringe world level at 160 & 168, Benn hasn't even proved himself above British level at 147.

Remember when Benn fought the Mexican kid at 154lbs after his drugs ban. Couldn't stop him and said in the interview after that these 154lbers are harder to hurt, what the hell does he think he's going to do to a big 160lber with a granite chin (ok, debatable after the Smith fight)

 

He’s never been in a big fight before either. I think he’ll come flying out of the blocks fighting on anger & emotion and be gassed after 4 or 5.

 

Especially with the added weight - this is is a pretty good bet I reckon. Benn isn't a big guy. As long as Eubank is OK at the weight and boxes sensibly, I think he gets rid of Benn in the mid-rounds.

 

Yep, I think he's going to come out flying until he gets hit by something solid and quickly realise theirs a big difference between being hit by a middleweight and a welterweight even if Eubank isn't a massive puncher at the weight.

 

How funny would it be if Benn failed another test? And the thing is, he's clearly stupid enough for it to happen.

 

Yes, he will be gassed in no time.

Will be like the Ultimate Warrior- knackered after sprinting to ring.

 

And stupid enough to go bankrupt trying to brush it under carpet again.

His dad's excuse was just so defeated 'why spend a million pounds on lawyers if you are guilty'

Almost everyone who can spend a million on lawyers IS guilty
