Comments Thread For: Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr. Finalized - October 8 in London, DAZN

[Southpaw16]

This is a cashout. Benn wins by overwhelming opponents with power and explosiveness. Won’t work against a much bigger guy and Hearn and his while team know it.

This translates to: we’ve seen things in the gym and we know what we have here, he isn’t going to develop to the world title level.

Eubank's fight to lose! Methinks Benn has bitten more than he can chew. Hope both are making life changing money though.

The 156 pound catch weight, may have did Eubank Junior.

People should not underestimate, how making 156 pounds could affect Eubank Juniors training and performance.

He has been fighting at 168 pounds for a large period of time in his career, and only just recently came back down to 160 pounds.

And people have highlighted that? His work rate and combinations are not as ballistic at 160 pounds, instead Eubank Junior seemingly opting to fight well within himself.

Are there re-hydration clauses in this contract? What else is there put in the match up to inhibit Eubank Junior?

But nevertheless it is a interesting match up. Nowhere near the level as the original rivalry between their fathers.

Strange fight to be honest. I would of liked Conor Benn to take the fight at 160 pounds.

Note: I find it very strange the way people are making out like this is a challenge for Conor Benn, the same way it is a challenge for Eubank Junior. Moving up in weight is the easiest thing to do in boxing, Benn theoretically is going to be the strongest he has ever been. But Chris Eubank Junior at fighter who has been fighting at 168 pounds for long periods of his career, and only recently came back down to 160 pounds 'Eubank Junior is going to really struggle to even match the condition he was in for his last fight'.

Making 156 pounds is only going to put a drain on Eubank Junior, which will have a domino effect on every aspect of his training. The intensity he trains at and possibly his recovery.

Both fighters are taking risks here, and I think Eubank Junior is taking the bigger risk. He is the bigger fighter, he has fought and won some big fights. And is 1-2 fights away from a actual world title fight at Middle Weight etc.

Benn vs Eubank jr will do more PPV numbers in little UK than Spence vs Crawford will do in the whole of America. Guaranteed.

Wrong fight for both of them at this stage of their career but the names the history and the £££ it makes sense

given both their styles it should be a real war

[boxing IQ]

Lame cash grab by two guys too scared to fight anybody good in their own divisions.

Couple of bellends. Yes, I will be watching.

This sums it up. Have a feeling Benn won’t be the same after this pay cheque

[harry-greb]

Can't believe Eddie is letting Benn take this fight

[Rodtang]

Who is Benn though to be requesting terms? Just because of his name? He hasn't done anything and he did duck Ava well his team did at least.

He isn't requesting terms. He didn't want to fight Avanesyan point blank. So why are requesting terms for a fight you dont want. Explain to me why he is ducking him.
