    How 1-2 if Ebaunk literally knocked Benn out in the first fight and Jr clearly won yesterday?

    still thought N.Benn won the rematch. countered the counterpuncher, different guy by then. smoother slicker and made Snr overcommit and caught him coming in.

    In the end, losers whine about their best and winners go home and **** the prom queen.

    Whatever people "think", the news is the news.

    A couple of people scored it for Benn. The majority of us saw it a close win for Eubank (or worst case a draw).

    Same and I was a big Eubank fan then too. 2-1 to the Eubank's in terms of father and son boxing matches.

    But if we include the Gladiator TV show they did and kind of promoted as a decider on TV then it's 2-2, lol.

    Chris Eubank Sr himself has admitted he felt Nigel Benn won their 2nd fight and I think most people agree Benn deserved to edge their 2nd encounter.

    As for Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr there's 0 controversy Benn got out punched in all 12 rounds and clearly lost the fight.

    So I think the correct score would be 2-1 for the Eubanks.

    The bigger man won. Smaller man tried very hard but couldn’t overcome physical limitation.

    There isn’t much else to this.

    If Benn didn't get the point deducted he would have got the decision.

    It’s a clean 2-0-1. How is this even in dispute. Sr stopped Nigel, and Jr clearly and cleanly won last night. At the worst, it’s 2-1 with 1 KO.
