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

Look at Weasel Eddie glazing the little fraud who clearly lost. No sane person believes he won. The fact that Barrios is the only champ at 147 he'd dare put Con Man in with says a lot.

Here's the angry guy who hates boxing again.

If you're not an elite level fighter your only option is to instead become an internet edgelord.

I never knew the truth agitated so many betas. What's an edgelord? My vocabulary is not as "advanced" as yours, mate. How are those Bon-Bons coming along?

Ah yes, characterising an abusively expressed personal opinion as "truth", classic edgelord behaviour.

Methinks I have a new fan in Coverdale
Where's Coverdale, btw? Anywhere near Coventry?

These guys remind me of Gatti Ward. And is is a wonderful thing... But Eddie is a promoter and is therefore shiat. Neither of these guys are really able to step up a level that I can see. Maybe I am missing something? I do not interpret the word Mediocre as being bad. In the Middle divisions of boxing reside the absolute top of the food chain. What separated mediocre from great is a small division indeed.

Absolutely they do.

There are plenty of ways to be remembered in boxing, and plenty of ways to earn a lot of money. It is prize fighting after all.

These two fighting each other again will be watched. Maybe even a third time.

So it's not the very top level. Who cares? The very top level is in rarified air. And memorable fights at the very top level are like hen's teeth.

This is where boxing actually can excel. It doesn't often give us the best v the best in the way that other sports do regularly. But it can matchmake the very best events.

I could see Mario Barrios getting tempted to defend his title against Benn with a lucrative offer.

[tokon]

Fast Eddie's comments only show just how little he knows about boxing

[Muchen]

Barrios should be next…and Boots vs Norman. Then Boots can have a big money fight for undisputed in the UK.

Dude. Log off. You taking this out of hand now. I said what I said. I thought the guy was on drugs when I was watching the fight. That's my opinion not a fact. I am not even promoting that narrative. You asked me and I answered. Nobody will address your comment because it's ridiculous. That's why my orginal comment left it open to anyones subjective opinon. I didn't want to accuse the kid. It was something that popped in my head. What does a doctor has to do with anything. Do you need to be a doctor to determine a drunk or crack head ? Log off buster lol

it isn't like he didn't fail test before.

I'm not your dude or your buster. I'm not looking for anyone to address me... I'm addressing you. Benn popped like a lot of fighters have popped but your opinion has him using drugs and adderall before a fight which is the subject that you brought up but you have a problem with my subjective opinion response so you should log off...but don't log off Dr. Malevolent because Canelo "dirty" Alvarez and Ryan "dirty" Garcia are fighting this weekend so I'm looking forward to your medical opinion on these fighters behavior.

I don't think Chris Eubank Junior will be fighting for awhile 'I would expect him to take a longer break than Conor Benn. Due to how difficult it was for him to make the 160 pound weight limit, and then adhere to the mandated 10 pound rehydration clause. Those factors combined with the brutal action of the fight, have in my opinion damaged Eubank Junior rather severely. That fight and performance, should make Chris Eubank Junior realize he needs to move up to 168 pounds for the remainder of his career. Eubank Junior was dead at the weight, it was only his experience and extreme determination to win that got him through the fight'.

Conor Benn in my opinion was also smashed up 'But due to not being heavily weight drained, I think he was the more physiologically robust fighter. Conor Benn has already most likely been in light training since the fight. There was a video Benn posted, where he had clearly been training and was on a cool down walk speaking to his supporters'.

Note: So I agree? A title fight for Conor Benn next at 147 or 154 is the next best move for him 'It will be interesting to see if Conor Benn chooses to move back down to 147 or 154 pounds. A big reason why Conor Benn was so strong against Chris Eubank Junior, was because he was training at a higher intensity and able to consume the right nutrition to aid his recovery. That fighting version of Conor Benn we seen against Chris Eubank Junior, was the best version of Benn that has ever stepped inside the boxing ring'.

To conclude: It will be very difficult for Conor Benn to duplicate that form at 147 pounds 'If Benn weighed in on fight night, at way over 160 pounds. Then in my opinion he is weight draining himself to make 147 pounds. Benn could make 147 pounds, but by the looks of it? I don't think he would be in his best form at that weight'.

The 154 pound division is a tougher competitive landscape at this point in time 'So this is most likely going to highly influence Conor Benn's next move. Once a fighter moves up in weight, especially two weight classes. It will be very difficult for them to physiologically reacclimatize themselves to the lower weight classes'.

I think Conor Benn should move back down to 154 pounds 'And Chris Eubank Junior should move up to 168 pounds for the remainder of his career' etc.
