    Yes, there's a place for ring generalship and supreme boxing, I love that too... But nothing beats an all out WAR
    It didn’t have to be a war is exactly my point
    Just goes to show the level of boxing

      Entertaining, scrappy, lot of wild missed punches but more competitive than i thought it would be. Correct winner though based on rounds won

        Good fight and solid card. Worth the PPV price. Not like Canelo vs yet another bum

          That's what made it so great!

          Yes, could've countered better, could've controlled the angles better, could've just used his size and jabbed his way to a win...

          ...but... who gives a f.

          We just saw a FIGHT

            100x better than the 3 punches a round you see from Americans

              I don't know about the fight of the decade but so far, It has definitely been the fight of the year.

                  That was about the best we could have asked or hoped for. Eubank didn't get starched there won't be any drained excuses and Benn didn't so we don't have to hear he was too small.

                  Entertaining but really scrappy.

                  I actually think Benn sort of redeemed himself as for Eubank I thought it was a bit embarrassing despite picking up the win.

                  Turns out they're pretty much made for each other.

                    ... and throwing 100 punches to only land 3 is better?

                      Come on now, I recently saw an American by the name of Virgil fight an ex Soviet by the name of Madrimov. That American displayed aggressiveness as well as good technical skills to earn a win in a highly entertaining fight. The same can be said about American fighter Boots versus Stanionis. Neither American threw 3 punches per round and I thought both Americans were more impressive than both Benn and Eubank.

                      Having said that, I enjoyed the fight and take my hat off to both men for giving it their all up on that ring.
