    I saw the fight last night, and it's too hard to call who won the rematch, who did you guys gave that fight to?

    a draw, with the point deduction was a fair result . great fight, though not a patch on the first .

    I thought Benn took it but it was very close.

    I agree, it was too close, a draw was fair IMO.

    I thought Benn could have won but eased off in the championship rds enabling Eubank to pull out a deserved draw.

    More tactical & technical than their 1st epic but not as good, still worth a watch if you havent seen it.

    It would've been great to see a 3rd match but never happened.

    I am more biased towards Eubank, who IMO seems underrated and appreciated each year. I loved what he did in the first fight to Benn....however a draw is the correct call in this fight IMO both from a scoring stand point, and from a spectator stand point NEITHER guy did anything to really merit a clear victrory in this fight
