    Hopefully, Eubank weighs in at 169.99lbs tomorrow, gets fined £100k, then bulks up to 190 and mangles that ****ing PED abusing little twat.

    I didn’t think so at 1st
    But with all the scull & Bruno surface knock down
    Sparring wars chisme / talk
    I might put some change on Ben to do just that.
    He seems to have the psychological advantage leading into the fight now.

    I’m not convinced on the Scull sparring story, Benn couldn’t put a dent in journeymen at 154.

    Stylistically if they were the same size I'd favor Benn by stoppage but they ain't Eubank should win a decision unless he's drained to a corpse

    Eubank has been fighting at 160 for half a decade. I doubt there is a real problem.

    From the faceoff I saw Eubank looked near dead.

    I hope that was some theatrics on his part.

    So he made the 10lb rehydration today... does that mean he gets fined or not?

    I wonder if anyone could tell if they were making this whole story up, too...

    Facts are: Eubank was clear favorite to the point that rationally one had to expect Eubank to win. He is bigger with more experience on a higher level and can take pretty much any punch. Benn on the other hand was doped when successful and afterwards stopped knocking people out or even dominating them. On a lower level. In a lower weight class.

    So now Eddie hearn (of all people) tells sparring stories that are way unrealistic and somehow Eubank is having the worst trouble ever making weight.

    Granted he obviously had trouble making weight in his last few fights in order to stay at the weight for this stupid freak entertainment fight. But how much trouble exactly and whether he actually has to pay a fine or if that info is just put out in the public to entice fans more we will probably never know.

    'eubank pays a fine' is news that tells people
    1. That eubank is in a worse position than expected making the fight more 50-50
    2. To get angry at the unfairness and demand revenge

    Both makes them eager to purchase the ppv that is not worth a ppv if you look at the level of the fight

    Seeing the fight obviously he was pretty drained. There wasn't a lot on his punches.

    so, after the fact, we saw he was able to wobble Eubank multiple times.
