    100%. For context Benn weighed in at 156 and 159 for the two fights versus Eubank. For the second fight he was supposedly 167 at next day weigh in. Never mind weight 147 and then jumping to 178 in 12-18 hours. It’s literally a fairytale.

    Only my opinion but had he managed his weight properly he would have been a light welter moving to welter. Not the other way around. I heard Hearn say that he should be fighting at 154 - those guys would smash him up there.

    Garcia is a bigger man than Benn in my view. This whole “massive at the weight” narrative is silly. If he’s struggling to make the weight it’s because he hasn’t fought there for 4.5 years and in the meantime he’s he been fighting at 154 and 160! I’ve never had to make weight but I’d imagine it’s a completely unnatural thing to try and do to get back down having been muscled up stone heavier and completely drain the body.

    Garcia by stoppage
    Over 2.5 rounds
    Benn to be knocked down at least once
    Garcia to land most jabs

    4/1 when boosted 25% on Bet365.

    The Bet builders on there are good, I won hundreds on Dubois vs Wardley. Very easy money I thought but upon checking the stats, Dubois only landed one more jab than Wardley which I found incredible.

    Horrible aren’t they. I haven’t used Paddy Power for about ten years because they excluded me from all offers/boosts etc. I’d never won anything of note but I think they can sense someone who could. Me and my mostly 2.50-10 pound bets must have had them scared.

    Back in the day with PPV shows, we used to get a decent UK undercard before it crossed over the Atlantic. Instead DAZN's treating us to a separate Misfits show as a "prelude" – Big Stacks, Ibiza Final Boss, and Joe Laws thrown into the mix.

    Edit: And how can I forget Kimbo Bimbo, who's up now.

    I was thinking at least there’ll be no Adam Smith but hope, he’s flown over.

    Hard to take the main event seriously when this is the prelude

    Well for context, Sam Noakes put on 22lbs in just over 3 hours after weighing in for Berinchyk a couple of weeks ago and that was fighting in his normal weight class

    Yeah, the Kimbo Bimbo fight was something else – makes Shannon look like Terrence Crawford.

    Yeah the two midgets was actually a good scrap, almost Wolf of Wall Street level novelty, and the next level of the degradation with Misfits. Shame Laws went for the head-butt with Harley, otherwise that would be another swing-for-all.

    Joe Laws is a grade A ****ing clown. You can literally smell him through the TV. Embarrassing. Jumping up and down throwing a paddy. Bum

    Harley Benn, another complete and utter idiot. Made a right fool of himself again. Shambolic.

    Jade Jones… a lot of posturing and chin sky high

    I think it’s purely gamesman ship from Benn, there’s no way he’s gone as high as that. He’ll be 160’s in the ring.
