I gave the first round to Eubank yet Sky gave it to Benn, despite him hitting fresh air with wild punches that missed by a lot.
The commentators were ignoring a lot of Eubank's work. And the ref was pulling him up every chance he got while ignoring Benn's fouls.
Benn threw a lot of wild scrappy shots that didn't land, Jr worked off the jab landing clean through the middle. The jab won him the fight, set up Benn and landed heavier shots, I had Jr winning clearly the stats back that up, not just the eye test.
Not when 'Not scoring it Macklin' is co commentary. Always talks shyte fight after fight following whatever narrative his boss Sheik Dan Kin O Han gives him.
Eubank got drawn into a scrap at times but I guess that was because of who the opponent was and the dislike towards to him. When he used his jab he was winning easily. Hypothetical of course, but say Benn wasn’t who he was, Eubank would have won at a canter.
I thought it was very telling that DAZN were only putting up the power punch stats rather than the full ones. Trying to create the narrative.
Mad this. I only watched on a 6 inch screen with lads in a a 6x3 foot room but Benn looked like he landed a lot more to me and he harder. I need to stop watching when im not chilling in my living room because I also thought Fury won the second Usyk fight comfortably. Whole bar did to be fair including my pro boxer mate and Rocky Fielding 2 tables away. Just shows you, it’s a sport you have to watch properly not in a very noisy incredibly busy room with a beaked up Wigan lad waffling down your ear the entire fight.
