    It's a completely pointless match up and I am dumbfounded that it will be popular among casual fans. I am 40 and can barely remember their dads fighting each other, and that seems to be main reason for all this. I just can't see how boxing fans who know all about Eubank sr would be interested, and conversely casual fans would barely know much about Eubank or Benn sr. Leonard beat Hagler three years prior to the first Eubank v Benn. Eubank v Benn 1 was so long ago that Turkey's great uncle hired Wet Wet Wet for the pre fight concert. Sweet Caroline was only 21 years old ffs.

    Can’t see Marty Pellow playing this to be honest.

    I go along with this - I remember the Eubank-Benn heyday and somehow I think a lot of this has been driven by Nigel. He always felt he got 'robbed' in the second fight at Old Trafford so wonder if he's re-living the rivalry through his boy. He must also know his boy is rotten and this is a good cashout fight?

    That Sam Jones on TalkSPORT defending this runt cheat and basically saying should be forgotten about and he’s heard there was never even a test. He knows all the casual geezer fans will just use this, tell all the other gullible the same creating an ‘aw poor mistreated Benn’ mentality. More money for the cheat.

    Why do people in this sport just forget about this stuff or expect others to. Just like in life there are some things that even after time served, there is no forgiving. Has Benn even been banned!? I lose track of it all.

    Thankfully Jordan called this fight what I’ve said from day one. A freak show.

    This is just another Haye v Bellew fake beef farce to earn piles of loot.

    Wonder if the same mugs will fall for Hearn's pre rehearsed acting and spin yet again?

    Sam Jones is a snidey little kiss arse who would suck up to Ian Huntley if Matchroom promoted him.

    There arent unforgiving things in life.There never were.

    If you become a winner everything is forgivable.

    Don King killed 2 people and become a pop culture icon and rich.
    Mike Tyson did time for forced corn
    OJ Simpson got off
    Mark Wahlberg was involved in hate crimes in his teens
    Coco Chanel was a nazi collaborator
    Boy George got high andbeat up a male escort
    Rick James and his gf kidnapped and forcefully had sex and tortured a girl for 3 days
    Jack Nicholson beat hookers non stop
    Sean Penn bet Madonna
    Kobe Brynat forced sex someone
    Cristian Ronaldo forced sex that Mayoorga woman and then paid 300 k hush money
    Micheal Jackson
    etc
    Face it,nobody cares if your a winner,you can do anything.

    Yes, you are right but I do care sadly. Easier to not but I just can’t.

    Another one is that gordon ramsay bloke. Gets away with going off on one at hard working people & the public love it.

    If he ever got lippy with me he’d be getting knocked spark out

    I don't mind Eubank jnr

    Benns a ****, a no good wrong un **** who shouldn't be given a sniff of a fight like this.

    Anyone supporting Benn is in the same camp, they should have nothing to do with boxing as a serious sport, maybe try that misfits thingy instead.

    It's not a fight I really want to see. Both have had special treatment because of their dads.
    I get they are both "stars" and "big names" on the UK scene but this fight is all wrong.
    It's nothing more than a cash grab, the fake beef between them is embarrasing as well.
    Eubank needs to concentrate on getting that world title shot and Benn needs to sort out
    the drug testing and get back to rebuilding his career. This does nothing for them on the world scene.
