    Couldn't agree more.

    I think he might be the first fighter I've seen telegraph feints.

    He get's killed by anyone half decent.

      I couldn't watch and it sounds like I've missed an instant classic.

      Waiting for it to come up on Kodi Fights on Demand but if anyone has a decent link (not those zoomed in YouTube ones) flick it through.

        He has a chin and fast hands, not much else. Eubank is looking pretty washed himself.

          This fight was good, it wasn't great. Eubank looked huge compared to Benn, and yet struggled at times. Eubank should've had a point taken away for multiple rabbit punches. Both fighters were busy. They threw a high volume of punches. But I've never witnessed so much inaccuracies. Benn couldn't land flush, and neither could Eubank. Benn fought with heart but he fought like a fighter that lacked many high profile fights. And Eubank struggled so much, it's clear that he should never face Canelo. Canelo will stop him cold.

          Eubank should just look for the rematch with Benn.

            It was a shockingly - and wildly - entertaining, nail biter of a fight. Both guys, for lack of a better description, aren't very good, but they matched well and put on one hell of a thriller. I was never sure who was about to get KO'd until Eubank pulled it together in the championship rounds. Sometimes, an undisciplined, wild night in the ring hits the spot. In that regard, this is a strong contender for FOTY.

              I agree with you except the last sentence.

                  great great fight. wasnt expecting the depth of character from either man. benn had the moral victory and he comes out of this embiggened. snowflakes are triggered by the drug scandals BUT GUESS WHAT you they/thems?..... its a reality of any professional sport. putting that aside, i appreciated conors science and forward direction, benn is better for boxing then eubank. benn was all aggression, heart, timing and carried 80% of the action. a match up with vergil ortiz would be an instant mega fight now. well done both men, emotions ran high watching this

                      Tris, What's with the "at least 2 weight classes bellow him"? When Eggs last 2 fight's were at 154, Eubank 160 & Benn hasn't weighed 147 for nearly 3 years.

                      Mckenna Smith looked a bigger weight difference. Is Mckenna "at least 2 weight classes" above Smith?

                      Don't turn into bn24

                      I'm glad Eubank won. Benn has had no power since he was popped 2 times! Neither has his stable, funny that.
