Eubank Jr v C.Benn to be at catchweight of 155

So the jury is not out

 

Canelo and GGG run through Eubank without much effort.

 

Hearn must be seriously desperate, I will assume DAZN must be in Hearns earhole and demanding something "big" because this is just embarrassing.

The lengths Benn and Hearn are going to avoid a legitimate WW challenge is now ridiculous, they are just buying Benn more time, that's all, Hearn talks about "rolling the dice" and all he is doing with this (assuming it happens) is..

Buying Benn another 12 months plus of avoiding any good WW.


Sure.. They will make a lot of money, Benn will get knocked out/stopped and they have a ready made excuse because Jr is a middleweight and Benn isn't a big WW and then they will have to "rebuild" which means Benn will be brought back slowly with the "right opponents at the right time".

Benns manufactured reputation at WW won't be too tarnished because of the weight and they can repeat the run of opponents of old faded bums while Benn rebuilds "live and exclusive on DAZN" and we can all follow the redemption journey of Benn who "dared to be great".


It's a complete crapshow, Hearn is maybe another AJ defeat away from being pretty much finished at this point.

 

what he said

 

Why isn't Eubank Jr not chasing Andrade or Jannibek for the WBO strap instead? This fight does him no good. Fighting Benn is a lose/lose situation apart from the Money.

 

Pathetic fight between two jerk offs

 

He wouldn't have beaten George Groves if they'd fought for 50rds.

 

This is the long and short of it. Eubank has fought at a higher level, his chin (at his actual weight) is solid and he has beat some ok guys.

Benns best win is vs Danny Jacobs nutritionist

 

Benn has age on his side. Eubank isn’t really going to get any better but it’s hard to know where Benns ceiling is until he steps it up. Hearn should be delivering Thurman not this fight

 

What weight does Eubak rehydrate to.
Connor isn't a huge welter so I wouldn't have thought he would put weight on past 155ish Eubank if he puts 10lbs on or close to isn't going to be far of a stone heavier.

Potentially dangerous fight for me.

 

Eubank was dominated for 11 rounds v Groves and only had Groves in trouble after he dislocated his shoulder, Eubank was awful in that fight.

 

He was awful but Groves has a good jab and a bit of pop on the right hand, Eubank was eating up to the weight too and showed his toughness
