Benn: "I'm going to systematically beat you. You like that word" Chris: "That's the biggest word I've heard you use"
Like father, like son — classic Benn and Eubank energy. Really hope when Conor retires he goes back to school and gets himself a proper education, because every time he and Eubank Jr. talk, Chris just bodies him without throwing a punch. He’s actually better at it than his old man ever was, and that’s saying something, because Snr was out there faking the whole “educated, authoritative” act in his jodhpurs and monocle. He’s also reads Fast Car like a book — I doubt Conor’s read anything beyond the Mr. Men series.
Benn doesn't have come off like an absolute grade A weapon when he opens his mouth. He's like that kid are school that thinks he's really hard but absolutely no one is scared off. Grim stuff. Hope Eubank can get the stoppage this time and we don't have to put up with this WWE crap from them again.
Jr is simply a master at getting under peoples skin, knows how to read people and happily uses that against them, fighters willing to trade verbally or the promoters. If they are not good talkers like Benn who he doesn't have to work hard to make bite, he's happy to go all in on the promoter in this case Hearn a guy that obviously enjoys the safety of however it pans out in the ring they are only throwing and receiving verbal punches at each other. It's all pantomime anyway, sells a fight, but in this case no doubt it's genuine needle.
