Eubank Jr vs Benn 2 - Nov 15 🥊

[NeverYield]

It's nice when you can watch a fight with no distractions, I'll be watching at home too, head to the gym about 3, probably talk some waffle in there about the evening, get back, get snacks out, get a kebab in because I haven't had one in ages, and relax.

Missus is interested in the fight, she has actually watched plenty of boxing, wouldn't say she's a big fan but plenty of figts have taken her interest, and as we know these sort of fights bring casuals in in droves. She's been asking plenty of questions aswell 

Hard work isn't it Wand when someone comes over who doesn't really say much, i get some people are just like that, and when a room is filled with people who love a chat it can be chaos, but in a smaller setting it can be a bit awkward can't it.

Yeah he’s hard work. Not a bad guy just the dullest man in the world. He’s like an old man in his 30s. My sister’s a lifelong fight fan like me though so at least there’ll someone else into it.

Only down the road tempted to get a ticket tbh. Just waiting to see if they are available for cheaper later!

Quite looking forward to it to be fair. Eubanks face turn completed at the press conference. Hope he pieces Benn up. Just concerned about the weight cut.

[SuperBacon]

As someone who is used to regularly watching disappointing farces at that stadium, I think I'll be tuning in.

I hope Eubank smacks Benns face off his face *Owen TM* 

[NeverYield]

The weight cut is concerning but he's done it before, It gets worse with each one, but he's done it before. 

I think Eubank needs to do what he done to DeGale, he ragdolled DeGale, launched him on the floor at one point , but if he can use them sort of rough house tactics against Benn, whilst ripping in them uppercuts then he can definitely get it 

 

[wandshogun09]

Yeah he’s made the weight before but did he have the rehydration clause against him as well in those fights? Genuinely asking because I don’t know but I’d guess not, right? That’s where this time it might be different. I keep seeing Hearn go “well he’s made that weight a bunch of times, what’s the issue?’ But like I said, this time he wasn’t able to rehydrate until after like 8am today. He’ll have been suffering all yesterday. I get that Eubank ultimately agreed to these terms so that’s on him. But still, it’s bollocks. And if Benn wins even under these conditions, you know Hearn’s gonna be unbearably smug tomorrow. Well, even more smug than he usually is.

It's amazing isn't it. Benn was the reason that the first fight was cancelled yet Eubank has to jump through all the Hoops to get the fight. I'm not wrong in thinking that money aside, Benn needs this fight more than Eubank am I?

[Gooner]

Eubank didn't have the rehydration clauses on him with his previous fights at 160lbs but Hearn has Benn coming up two weight classes when in reality it's only one since he hasn't fought at 147lbs in almost three years. Hearn as you know is always insufferable and if Benn wins tonight he will take it to a whole another level  even if they end up getting everything their own way with gloves, ring(they already have) etc. Hearn needs to earn his money back on Benn, this gets it all back and a lot more. It may be one of his last moments in the limelight in Britain, Benn only makes any serious money now against Eubank and his main cash cow hasn't been seen or heard from properly in months. He needs Benn to win badly and if not he better hope Fury comes out of retirement to face Joshua, find out who like the third, forth, eight best heavyweight on the planet is as because of one man,"we all know who the number 1 heavyweight in the division is.

[wandshogun09]

I hope there are lots of closeups of Hearn’s face if his boy gets chinned tonight. You can tell him and Conor absolutely think they’ve got this in the bag already.

This is where I don't think Jnrs team have done right by him 

If I was part of Jnrs team I'd be going above and beyond to tell Benns lot, no you're not dictating f all, you get nothing! In the words of Cena,

Jumping to all these commands is mad 

Yes Benn needs it more

Actually shocked to see Eubanks Sr and Jr together. We’ve been worked brothers.

Would've been so much better if he'd not been revealed until Jr was on the entrance ramp. Imagine the pop.

Saying that, decent reaction.

[NeverYield]

I hit the roof when they both turned up 

[wandshogun09]

Yeah the show peaked already. 

 

[NeverYield]

What a moment!
