    I'm excited for this fight. I predict violence. Have to favor Eubank. Hes bigger and been in with better guys. Benn has a higher ceiling and wont be drained going into the fight.

    Must be a British thing. Very little interest . It’s about exciting as an exhibition match. Two guys make all these concession so a fight can be made , where they will cash in on The PPV.

    I don’t get where all this hype from Benn comes from. Because he beat 2 featherfisted dudes? One in Van Heerden who was always mediocre and an old shot Algieri? If this isn’t rigged, Eubank will smash him.

    I like ring violence as much as any boxing fan. I draw the line with stupid matches. Eubanks draining down to make a fight that shouldn’t happen is a stupid match.

    Draining down plus rehydration clause.

    It's a freakshow.

    Still, I hope they both get some coins.

    Oh I’m all for a guy making his hussle work. More power to these guys if they can bank millions from this. The fight itself however is a joke

    It's a pointless fight honestly. This fight is merely being made because of their father's names alone, they are purposefully using this fight to ride off their coat tails. FFS it's a WW against a Super MW.

    Eubank with everything to lose,Benn hasn’t even fought for a British title yet . This fight will be won or lost on the scales !
