Comments Thread For: Promoter Eddie Hearn might prefer to see Benn in title fight rather than September rematch with Eubank Jnr

[Corelone]

Eddy is selling tap water to the locals. It looked good, but they are not scaring anybody. Benn still wants to lure the low hanging fruit to the UK and Canelo wrecks Chris. Nothing changed.

Was there VADA testing or similar for this fight?

I don't wanna be that guy but in the back of my head. I was thinking this guy has alot of energy.......

You would think, given the 2 failed tests, given how angry Eubank was, you'd think that more would have been said about drug testing before the fight - but I didn't hear anything once. I did see Benn sr. pass a bottle to his son in the changing room and I thought "what's in there"? - natural to be su****ious - and yes - he had loads of energy and despite being popped on the chin several times he instantly recovered.

You see how Benn held his own against Eubank. This is why I am looking forward to seeing Crawford VS Canelo.

To compare this to Bud vs Canelo is a sin. Bud can box and Canelo is not boiling down. Bud is a surgeon, not a rude boy and Canelo owns 168. He slept Smiths that slept Eubank.

i cant see anything other than a rematch, this is benn and eubank we are talking about here

You'd have to be insane to think Hearn would rather the Barrios fight over the rematch - personally I think Turki has had a word in his and Shalom's ear to to tell them the rematch can't happen due to the dangerous nature of the fight... It would be bad PR for the Saudi crew if something bad was to come off the back of the fight. The rematch makes logical sense to everybody involved.so to not run it back again in stadium settings is quite odd.

Coner vs Barrios would sell out in the UK. Plus Boots is also in House. If Boots is open to traveling to the UK Coner vs Boots for the Ring, WBC, WBA and IBF would be huge money for hearn. I don't see Eubank taking another fight with a rehydration clause. Never.

Slow down. First off, Eddy doesnt import serious threats, so forget Boots. Secondly What did you see that makes you so confident in Benn? His footwork? His lateral motion? His one punch power? What?
