Eubank Jnr V Connor Benn

[Guest ThaBoom]

I'm not sure what to make of this - is it a poor attempt to renew the classic rivalry between their fathers, or a genuine fight plan.

 

I clearly remember the 1990s rivalry between Benn and Eubank, one of the best boxing periods.

 

Yes, this fight is at a catch weight but just can't see it matching the tension and excitement when their dads fought.

That was a genuine fight, same weight and build etc while here Eubank Jnr is the naturally bigger guy.

 

My prediction- Eubank via late stoppage or unanimous points win. Eubank has his dad's granite chin, so can't see Benn winning by KO.

I'd still rather watch their dads fight.

It's just a cash grab.

 

They've never met professionally, they never would.  Different weight classes, different stages of their career.

🤣

I would think Eubank is way too big and experienced for Benn.

Can't see benn winning this one.

Fight's off.  Benn has to tested positive for a banned drug & the British Boxing Board of Control weren't going to sanction it anyway.

Just a gimmick of a fight anyway.

My bold. 

Most people I spoke to about it had the same opinion. 

Anyway, Benn cheated (apple? Tree? Fall?) so hopefully a lengthy ban is heading his way. 

[geared 306]

He passed the regulatory bodies tests so it's abit of an odd one, can they ban him off the say so of another company?  and why did they not detect him?

 

I think half the reason he was doing the fight was to waste some time because he can't take Crawford or Spence Jnr.

[The_DADDY 3,468]

Seeing as he's handed his license back this is all pretty irrelevant now I suppose 

[geared 306]

Yea I don't know what's going on and don't much care.  It'll take a while to clear up, Eubank wants to secure a keep busy type fight in the meantime.

 

It might add a little bit of interest if he gets something in the meantime and puts on a strong performance.  Show Benn he's going to need his very best.
