Eddie Hearn isn't convinced that Chris Eubank Jr. got the shorter end of the stick as it relates to his upcoming 157-pound catchweight bout with Conor Benn.

Conor benn I believe is going to knock eubank out, I'm convinced that Benn is the real deal and fighting at 157 is not a huge weight gain. If you break it down to a percentage then it's about a 6 or 7 percent rise in weight for Conor benn. Now I might be biased but I just don't think junior eubank is any good. Looking forward to this fight

Got my money on a Eubank knock out. Benn has been hurt in the past by Peynaud, a welterweight with a 21% ok ratio. Eubank has been in with the likes of Groves, if he hits Benn like he did Williams he won’t be getting up

I can’t help but think Hearn is talking nonsense . Callum Smith looked awful when he had a rehydration clause vs Canelo and that was at a weight he had made in the previous 12 months

This has "draw" written all over it, in order to make everybody happy and going on with their respective careers withouth much damage.

Remember to boycott this ppv due to Eddie's unforgivable games with the Tyson Fury contract. If you pay for this turd derby, you're enabling Eddie to continue wasting our time with his lies and posturing when he knew all along that there was no way AJ would fight Fury and even if he would, Eddie was never going to let it happen. Pirate stream or wait for the 28 seconds of highlight-worthy action on YouTube 10 minutes after the majority decision is announced.

Stepping up weight is no issue at all, Connor will be a 160 guy as he gets older anyway he's just in the division earlier than expected. Connor spars 160 guys. Only issue is has connor fought anyone as good as eubank? Connors not fought the best at 147 even, that's the main issue.

Hearn trying to sell this B.S. fight. Eubank appearing having trouble coming down gives Benn a chance.

[Dakuwaqa]

I mean obviously

Benn isn’t even proven at 147 and has been dropped and hurt by guys that’s aren’t big punchers at the weight

Eubank was undersized or underpowered at SMW ffs and has an elite chin

No 147 midget is cracking Eubanks chin

Mismatch

[Apollo7]

I agree. I don't expect losing a couple of extra pounds will effect Eubank much whereas fighting someone naturally bigger and more experienced will probably be a problem for Benn.
