      the fight is likely tobe poor or hopleless anyway benn can barely handle journeymen and not very well even with them and eubank hasnt got it to even squeak a weak belt over his career lol

            Turki said theyre trying to make this a $19 PPV. I would pay for $1.9 if there's one decent fight added on undercard.

              In a way, I'm glad they're finally fighting so that once it's done we won't have to read endless will they/won't they stories as it's been one of the most boring, longest running 'feuds' in recent memory. I wasn't especially interested in the fight the first time around before the cancellation and it seems like the promoters are more excited about it than the fans, but let's just get it done now. They're both capable of putting on an exciting fight and they're probably not a million miles away from each other in terms of ability even if Eubank has much more experience and has fought bigger, tougher opposition. I worry a bit that Eubank's punch resistance has gone due to weight draining himself to stay at 160. He looked like he's aged quite a bit in his last fight even though in the fight before that he performed really well against Liam Smith in the rematch. It would be very embarrassing for Eubank to get clipped by a welterweight. It would be disastrous really. At least if Benn loses, but puts up a decent showing he can write it off due to the weight disparity. Even though it's not the fight Eddie Hearn or Ben Shalom think it is, hopefully Turki Alalshikh will provide a stacked undercard.

                  Speaking of the undercard, this may be where Bakole vs Ajagba lands...

                    Why because there is money in this fight i would suppose.........

                    Why cared about Tyson's last fight but there was money hidden inside that joke..........

                    How can a guy like Saul get away with so many of his opponents........ could be money and of course hype again and again.......

                    i could go on but you know already it was a rhetorical question but this is still boxing where deals are made for money and favors.................
