Well Garcia just stank the joint out and looked a shell of his self against Haney now that he’s off the drugs. Got KD early and felt the power and shat it for the remainder of the fight. Not sure whether the Haney rematch will happen now but if you are Benn you are moving heaven and earth to get a fight with Ryan who looks ordinary off drugs. I reckon Benn will carry much less power and far less punch resistance at 147 anyway but Garcia was absolute guff tonight.
The rat’s just lost in a domestic level fight against a drained 35 year old why is he walking around NY like a somebody?
Benn - fight at 154, but he is not going to win world titles. He’s simply not good enough and at 29, I can’t see him improving his boxing skills. Eubank - retire or take a Saunders fight at 175. He should not fight below 170 again.
Whilst Benns stock amongst the hard-core is low, his stock amongst the casuals is an all time high, expect either a world title fight or Eubank next, sadly it will be PPV I reckon. Eubank...well Canelo is fighting Bud, so his options are limited...its either Benn or retire. I'd like him to get a big pay day and his title shot but let's face it, he's done.
Eubank owes the Benns nothing. He has just won a fight where all the cards were stacked against him, **** them. I hope he walks away. I am a huge fan of Nigel Benn, my favourite fighters perhaps, but this isn't about him. Connor and Eddie tried to steal a victory and Eubank didn't read the script. Take the money, hell, fight Canelo, but don't go anywhere near Benn again. He doesn't deserve it and Eubank has already done him the favour of boosting his profile and popularity that he can also have some big scraps
