    I think they should rematch nonstop until the wheels fall off

    An entertaining fight between two very mediocre fighters.

    I do not see where either goes from here outside of a rematch.
    Eubank is 35? and dead at the weight and frankly he's just not world level. He'll get whooped if he steps up and I think we're all very tired of seeing him beat on Euro level guys like Szemeta.

    As for Benn I don't think he can safely get back to Welterweight. I think even him handpicking a very weak titlist in Barrios who frankly is not very good is risky.
    I'd not at all be surprised if Barrios beat him and if he does where is left to go?
    I know people will say he is young and he's only had X losses but I think the whole hype bubble totally pops.

    Despite being against the fight in the first place, they are actually just made for each other.
    Honestly they should rematch maybe even have a trilogy and probably both call it a day - maybe legit both retire with their faculties and take their rivalry on some reality TV show or something. I think it'd be entertaining and do well.

    Boots, Crawford, Vergil, Bohachuk, Haney, Garcia, Bakhram all whoop Benn badly.

    I do not see who he even beats of note.
    Even Keith Thurman right at the very end of his career probably beats the hell out of him.​

      I expect the "Business" to be predictable: exploit a big money-making opportunity while it undermines the "Sport". All involved will see $$$ and reproduce the circus, and the audience will happily consume because of the entertainment value. I'd rather Eubank vs. Berlanga/Sheeraz and Benn vs. Barrios/Pacquiao....and let Benn/Eubank Jr. be one and done.

        That had a 65k audience and are each other's biggest paydays, they're going to run it back.

          Yup, A question of whether to feed each man to the wolves, or let them have a Gatti Ward type of trilogy and cash out.
