Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: I Want People To See Me Beat Eubank Jr. in His Prime

Rigo Khan Brook Gambao Mikey > Benn = another beatdown

Easy excuse when Eubank tears into him but none if he gets pieced up by Ortiz or Ennis, his contemporaries.

Obviously weight does worry benn. But rehydration clauses worry me. Dehydration is bad. Benn should allow eubanks to drink, you wouldn't deny a dog water even. Just no IVs

It does give confidence to fighters when they are fed low level opponents. They begin to think they're indestructible. Benn will find out how it is in the real world when he fights Eubank Jr. I'm not saying Chris is a monster, but the guy knows how to win and play with guys like Benn.

Accurately put. That's why this constant 24hr protection plan for fighters will bear bad fruit eventually.
But we'll still have to see the outcome of the fight. I see Eubank clowning and timing Benn in the ring.
Like I said in another thread, I see total schooling similar to Eubank's last fight with Williams.
But we'll see.

Interesting note from the Presser today is that the weight was actually put forward by Eubanks team, Benns team just agreed to what was asked.

So those who have a problem with weight, speak to Jr about it.

Jr has also said the rehydration clause etc is fair due to the size difference. Fair play.

Conor Benn knows he will never win a world title. The belts are sewn up. He is nowheres near ready for Crawford or Spence, they would both stop him inside 5 or 6 rounds. By the time he has improved, if he can improve, Vergil & Jaron will be around the title & he sure as s""" can't beat them neither. Financially, it makes a lot of sense to just cash out now.
