Not a post to discuss (or dispute you cheeky Benn fans) the result of the fight itself, more just wondering whats next? talk of Connor fighting for a belt is rubbish imo, and not really sure where Eubank can go from here? At a weird level where he falls short of world champion but better than national/international and with father time against him can't see anything better financially or career wise than the rematch (which I dont want to see). Turki had said about the Canelo fight, but not sure why Canelo would bother and its a very tough ask for Eubank anyway
At this stage, this plays out much like Bellew and Haye, as realistically all Benn and Eubank really have is one another, and after such an entertaining fight, the rematch makes perfect sense. If Eubank wins again, he might even have the Bellew final cash-out against Canelo, as he is short of marketable opponents right now, and it would sell. If Benn emerges victorious, then the trilogy becomes all the more marketable to the masses. After a trilogy and with how much damage they will likely take, unless it plays out like the second Haye Bellew fight, I feel they will both be done, plus they will never need to fight again. However, it's undeniable that someone like Aaron Mckenna would easily defeat Eubank at this stage, and considering how Benn was swinging from the hills, he's simply a knockout waiting to happen if ever he faces top-level players like Ennis. The rematch makes perfect sense and it was a good, entertaining fight, similar to Bosh v Allen.
Canelo for Eubank. Silly fight that Canelo will walk, but he wants to fight here, Eubank will sell and makes sense from that point of view. Don't overly care what Benn does.
hadn't drawn that parallel to Bellew Haye, I imagine Eubank vs Canelo would play out very similar to the Usyk fight...... guess difference is Benn does actually have options compared to a shot to bits Haye, even if most of us dislike him he could fight for many years yet
Put on another thread that I hope Eubank gets the Canelo fight at 168, makes a fortune then calls it a day to spend time with his brothers son and rebuild his relationship with his dad properly. Couldn’t care less about the drug cheat.
Idiots like Simon Jordan telling people to now go easy on Benn regarding his failed tests because he performed well at the weekend and it was over 2 years ago.
Canelo at 168 for Chris. Then over and out. Conor? Could not care less. Maybe a southern area title scrap at 154.
Eubank can fight Canelo If Benn plays his cards right young Chistopher might let him be the waterboy for the fight
I'm with this. Benn was nothing until this Eubank fight and he should follow his ego to a world title fight that Hearn and drawing power will undoubtedly earn him. Then we might not need to see him again. Eubank can't fight seriously at 160 again so might as well drift up to 168 and cash out one last time.
Whatever you think or say about Eubank but for a guy of his ability to be the biggest active star in UK boxing he deserves credit for. Couldn’t care about Benn , would like to see Eubank JR get a world title shot then retire as he is on the slide and Hearn/Kalle to blame for that absolute bonkers weight cut at 157
Benn who cares...still cheating imo. Eubank should retire. He,ll be pretty much finished after saturday and boiling down for so many years i reckon. Would be surprised if 168 even helps him at this stage. Talks of canelo are probably silly.
