Son's of Legends getting themselves a good Payday I guess but it is so MEANINGLESS! Neither are Champions in their Division, neither considered the best in their Division or anything they just so happen to be sons of British Legends
I guess...Comment

I didn't say that. And if you've been reading any of my comments you'll see I'm not in favour of this fight, and I'm also saying it's a big risk. I'm simply stating that just because he's been down before at the level at which he was at, doesn't mean he can't keep winning. In fact he's went on to fight better fighters than Peynaud and not be put down again. Therefore by your logic, everyone of those should have put Benn down also. Clearly that didn't happen. And there's no guarantee he will be put down in this fight. But it's risky for sure.Comment

He's probably already boiling down for 160. Under those circumstances, 4 lbs is a lot. And if he's still trying to shift it on fight week, it could potentially affect his gas tank, if it's a high intensity 12 rounds. And you can bet Benn is planning for high intensity.

I’m actually surprised this was made. Now if only the fights we all wanted could be made that easily.Comment

No doubt some people will ridicule Eubank jr as an opponent for Benn. Weight issues aside, it's a step forward in terms of competition. He's better than who Benn has previously beaten. And since he's continually compared to Ennis and Ortiz jr, and slaughtered by certain fanbases, I'll just point out that, Eubank jr is a better opponent than both of their last opponents. He's better than Custio Clayton and Michael McKinson, no doubt. I'm not saying Benn will win. In fact i feel it's the wrong fight for him. But should he win, he'll deserve some credit. But we all know, those people won't give him it lol.Comment
