Jr ain't worthy to lick niges nut sack

Jr was never an elite level MW and is probably past his best.

Conor is probably British level.

The whole spectacle is punching way above its weight.

Way too much hype for what will be a shit fight.
They will end up with egg on their face.

I don’t think applies anymore tbh. When this fight was originally planned, it was in a 20,000 arena. They are now fighting in a stadium with 60+ thousand people and the fight could have sold 2-3 times that. Chris Eubank senior hasn’t had anything to do with the build up to this fight.
Eubank JNR has had a decent career and at least fought at a decent level. Connor Benn has achieved very little after 23 fight and imo is living on his surname.

The appeal comes from the family angle and all the controversy surrounding the cancellation of the late 2022 bout.

With more emphasis on the cancellation now. I also think the egg smash has pushed it up another level, certainly with the casuals. When they were first due to fight, I don’t believe the two fighters genuinely disliked each other. Now they do. I’ve always liked Eubank JNR but I accept he is a marmite character, yet Connor Benn for me is an odious character that has an almighty chip on his shoulder.

Initially yes, but the fight is far bigger now than it was when it was first scheduled and that is down to the controversy.

[TheMalteseDart]

Both things are true

Think Eubanks career has been up and down, some spells where he's looked oddly flat, and others where he's blitzed opponents and looked very good...

Don't know much about Benn's as i've not watched him as much but his record looks to me like they've kept him very protected.

Conor Benn from what I’ve seen of him, he is nothing more than bang average.
Arguably British title level, maybe slightly better at a push.
His 2 fights he had since his suspension he didn’t put a dent in his opponents. He is being portrayed by some that he is a brutal puncher, yet his record doesn’t suggest that. He certainly hasn’t inherited daddy’s power. For me, I can’t remember a boxer who is more dislikable as a person in how he comes across. I know other boxers have done far worse things out of the ring, so I don’t mean in that way.

I suspect Hearn has known for a long while that Benn's potential is limited, and that the Eubank bout is their big payday. Said payday is probably why Hearn didn't distance himself from Benn after his drug bust.

If Benn loses, he's still made far more cash than a boxer of his level should in the pro ranks. In the unlikely event he wins, he and Hearn can milk another payday.

They will be fighting for a belt though. Let’s be honest though this fight doesn’t need a belt, it wouldn’t make any difference if it is the IBO, WBC or the Leicestershire window cleaners belt. The casuals like Dave from Doncaster or Lisa from Leamington Spa will be watching regardless.

Pretty soon every boxer will be a world champion

Delete their last names and the fight doesn’t happen due to the size difference.

But yes, if it did it wouldn't gather much attention at all.

We've seen what usyk does with bigger men but benn is no usyk. He's going to lose.

[shenmue]

Benn has no power without the drugs, fought a few jobbers since and couldn't put a dent in them.

Eubank got stopped vs feather fisted Smith but was weight drained as he was training for benn at a lower weight before the late replacement, he easily beat Smith when he had a proper training camp at the weight.

This is a giant mismatch but god bless both for conning the casuals like cunt khan and cunt Brook did.

I honestly think the elbow that Smith caught Eubank JNR with just before stopping him played a big part in his win. You only had to look at the huge lump it caused. Add to the mix the weight drain issue as well. Eubank also lost a razor thin decision to BJS and was dominating the fight at the end. If they had of rematched straight away, I would have backed Eubank. When Groves beat Eubank, Junior was awful that night and seemed to lack any technique.
Eubank should comfortably win this fight and I hope he does so by putting a good beating on Benn.
