Comments Thread For: Hearn Assures Return of Conor Benn: 'He Is Going To Fight Chris Eubank, Trust Me'

[IronDanHamza]

I’m admittedly bias, but it’s always been a fight Smith has wanted ever since they sparred, he definitely sees something in Eubank he thinks he can exploit.

Bellew always wanted the Haye fight going back to when they sparred in like 2006. I know Haye unlike Eubank was completely shot but I get a similar vibe about this fight. It’s like Liam knows something we don’t.

I really just don't rate Eubank at all. I didn't rate his dad all that highly and his son isn't even 5 levels lower he's more so.

Smith is solid, tough, good fundamentals. I think he'll give him all kinds of problems. Only issue is the size.

Eubank Jr talks like he’s this great fighter and at 33 years old his best achievement is a British title. If his name was Smith nobody would give a f*** about him. The way he paraded that IBO belt around the nightclubs was pathetic.

I was a big Eubank fan as a kid but in hindsight he was never a legitimate World Champion. Did have some quality wins though, Benn obviously being the standout.

I went to the Eubank-Benn 1 fight in Birmingham. Was a great night, of course levels and levels above his son.

The Smith's seem like good people, met Paul at one of the fights years back he was a proper cool guy.

Benn can fight but no one will care.

Just before the 'fight' they were both on the Jonathan Ross show and did a live stream to speak with Freddie R. live at the Wildcard , there was Micky Rourke and the intimidating figure of James Toney , not a peep out the pair of them as Toney glared into the camera. Hearn Sr. never mentioned Toney's name to the British public (it must be a family thing!) but fair play to Benn and Eubank , they didn't' mind the challenge and a Eubank that looked up , not down.

Yeah Paul’s a lovely fella, very approachable, I don’t know why he gets so much stick tbh.

Yeah that was classic, the British media definitely didn’t do their research on Toney beforehand. The full show is still available on YouTube somewhere, I rewatched it during lockdown.

C’mon Conner…find your sack and call out Ortiz or Boots. Calling out a damn lightweight and retired fighters. Effing clown. He will eventually get what’s coming!

Ediie is creative, mentioning Conor Benn, if he returns, against 'Tank' Davis.

I don't think Gervonta would go to welterweight, and I don't think Al and PBC are going to do business with a fighter promoted closely by Eddie Hearn.

Hearn can never criticize drug cheats. He enables and then hide's behind lawyer's. Does he think he can convince public that two failed drug tests aren't real. "Don't know why you just ignore drug tests if they test positive". Hearn s own words
