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

[Rodtang]

This matchup doesn't move the needle for me. Because of the weight difference it just feels "gimmicky" and a money grab to me. Both guys are relatively relevant in their respective weight classes, I think I'd just prefer them to fight in their natural weight classes.

If Benn wins, Eubanks will say he was weight-drained. If Eubanks wins, Benn will say he went too high up in weight. It really doesn't prove anything regardless of the result (IMO).

This fight ( which I'm not in favour of ) is about family historical legacy. Their respective weight divisions have nothing to do with anything in this contest. They will make a shed load of money and it's a side venture to their proper boxing careers. That's because of the uniqueness of the situation. After such a great rivalry by their fathers, it's about the sons continuing and trying to settle the family feud. When I think of it like that, it's kinda exciting, but from a career perspective I'm not in favour of it, as a Benn fan. I'm not a fan of Eubank. Maybe if I was also a fan of his I'd be more excited for this fight, but I'm only a fan of Benn, and I simply want to see if he can progress to a title shot at 147. Ironically back in the day, I was a big Eubank fan, and whilst I also liked Nigel, I was rooting for Chris snr lol. I'll be rooting for Conor on this occasion lol.

Zero interest in this fight.

So why bother commenting on it, loser.

I don't think this is a wise move, if Benn wants to stay at 147. Avanesyan would've been a better choice!

Complete mismatch. Unless Eubank is absolutely dead at the end weight he'll stop Benn comfortably. And I say this as someone who doesn't even rate Eubank Jr.

Benn isn't some kind of tricky boxer, he comes forward and looks to **** it out. That's served him okay against a few fringe contenders and faded names at welterweight but it's not gonna work against a career middleweight who has boxed better opponents and has more experience. I mean, I don't see any advantage Benn has in this fight. Even if they were the same size I'd probably make Eubank Jr. the favourite.

It's a pretty shameless cash-grab to be honest but whatever, I doubt anyone involved is complaining.

Cringeubank by stoppage. Draining him won't help Benn.

Kell Brook getting smashed all over again.. LOL

At least that was against the great GGG, to get smashed up by Eubank is gonna be sad.

[GBP4LIFE]

And...? Unless you're getting a cut of the takings, who gives a ****?

i doubt it will, and the price of a UK PPV is significantly less then an American PPV, not even a fair comparison.

Don't know why so many are excited for this fight. It is a money grab fight for the gullible public and those two guys were not in a collision course.

This reassured me that cancelling my DANZ subscription was the right thing to do.

Can't blame them for wanting to get paid. I'm not paying for it though.

Avanesyan would smash Benn to pieces and they know it. This way they can make treble the money, take the L and just put it down to the weight difference
