yes i do, just saying he can be outboxed and believe me conor is razor sharp in that ring.... and if you read my posts properly (which you dont) i said the bookies have got it close not that i could see it going either way.... i know in your head boxing is just about size and who is bigger but skill does come into it too

family pride is on the line, legacy of benn eubank. its nothing to do with a 'cash out' think of the benn and eubank families like the modern day montagues and capuletsComment

I read it. I didn't address it in my post because it's irrelevant.

Conor Benn is not going to outbox anybody. He's not a skilled fighter.
And yes, weight classes are a thing for a reason.Comment

I'm probably letting my heart rule my mind more than I should. Benn will definitely believe he can knock him out though, he has that type of personality.
That is a possibility.
Although, Eubank has more experience on the world stage against much better opposition and the weight I think is going to hurt Benn more than it will Eubank. Eubank has been back at 160 so he's only losing ~3 pounds. Benn is pretty much jumping 2 classes. Another thing, afaik Eubank has never been down or supremely hurt.
Before Williams fought Andrade a lot of people were picking him to beat Andrade. Eubank dropped him like 4x in his last fight and Liam is a rough and tumble come forward guy, a lot like Benn in that way but a lot bigger.
Benn has only been 10 rounds 3x. All Eubank has to do is keep the kid at bay for 4 rounds then slowly drown him in deep waters.
I expect a late stoppage for Eubank, somewhere around the 10th. The uppercut will be in play.
He's only losing 3 pounds.Comment

Benn isn't anywhere near as proven as Brook, Khan, Rigo, and Gamboa, who got smashed. The point is, Eubank has fought pretty good guys and Benn is absolutely small and highly unproven. Why is Hearn making this fight? No crying if Eubank ruins him. Another joke fight! Hearn should have found money at least to get Broner over to the UK or Stanionis. Eubank continues to refuse the Andrade fight.
Bob Arum Dumb Rock Boxing Fan Club is in full effect.Comment

****** fight for Benn. he is top 10 at 147 and he should fight welterweights.
Even if he beats Eubank jr. at catchweight, he will not get a credit at 147 for this.Comment

Is he even gonna be able to make 147 after this? This reminds me of the Kell Brook vs GGG fight. I don't know why he's taking it.
