Carl Froch starts off by saying this fight is pointless because it's been done before and then says there could be a different winner. Baffling.

Dumb opinion. Saint George Groves did some damage to this boy when he beat him up for 9 Rounds in the first fight. This is the biggest fight in Boxing and we also all await what Chris Eubank Sr has up his sleeve. His entrance last time was stuff of Nash out-style legend. Nash out - His Majesty

No world titles. They’ve both got losses on their records. What’s at stake? Nothing

now we get his point lol

I think if Conor Benn loses to Chris Eubank Junior II again, and potentially in brutal fashion? What exactly is he going to do in the future? Because he is not a Middle or Super Middle Weight fighter. And the first fight was in my opinion, only made competitive because Eubank Junior was negating the negatives effects of the rehydration clause mandated into the fight'.

If Chris Eubank Junior's game was not being tactically hindered by the rehydration clause 'I think a more solid version of Eubank Junior, has the ability to systematically beat up Benn. Win almost all the rounds, and force a stoppage in the fight'.

Note: I see similarities in Benn vs Eubank Junior II, like I did in Eubank Junior vs Smith II 'I think this time around, there is a high likely-hood that Chris Eubank Junior will make the 160 weight limit and the rehydration clause in more solid condition'.

And if he does? I would not be surprised in the slightest if the rematch is an extremely dominant performance by Chris Eubank Junior. I also think this should be Eubank Junior's last fight 160 pounds, as I think for many years now he has been struggling at times to make the weight limit in optimal condition'.

So the value of the rematch between the two fighters for me is? I am expecting Eubank Junior to beat Benn for the second consecutive time. And I think Eddie Hearn and Team Benn, may be underrating how this may affect his future career.

Conor Benn was apparently meant to be a Welter Weight fighter, but he has not fought in that division for a long time 'or achieved anything much even at a domestic level'.

There is narrative that Chris Eubank Junior could be done after this fight, and it is Benn who has more opportunities in the aftermath 'I disagree? Chris Eubank Junior if he wins, still has way more big opportunities than Conor Benn. Ranging from World titles fights, or potential mega fights vs Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds and above'.

To conclude: Overall the first fight was competitive, it was not dominant win by Chris Eubank Junior 'but that was in my opinion, due to him not really being in optimal condition due to the rehydrating clause which was tactically mandated into the fight. To increase the likely-hood of Conor Benn win'.

Chris Eubank Junior still overcame all of those obstacles, and during this rematch? He knows he can produce an even better performance etc.

Froch is just a really bitter c*nt. Used to love watching him when he was an active fighter as he’d always be in tear ups. But he is a jealous and insecure guy through and through.

How are you all hating on one of the best warriors of all time? Froch is the ****ing man, stop hating.

Benn rose his stock a bit during that fight, the egg jokes died down significantly.

First fight was a war and it was the kinda fight were fighters leave a part of themselves in the ring that they don’t get back afterwards. I feel like somebody could stopped in the rematch either benn because eubank will just break him down as it goes on being the bigger guy again and get him to late but I can see eubank getting stopped aswell because he’s having to make the 160 limit again with the dodgy can only rehydrate a certain amount afterwards clause again and after the war he was in last time and having to make a weight he shouldn’t be at again you can see him running out of steam and getting stopped himself.. but it has flown more under the radar this time around because the first fight had the hype behind it this time it’s just like okay theee running back don’t see why apart from the money aspect but okay

PrinceKool, firstly, fair play my man for writing a post that combined your obvious boxing knowledge with good, grammatical English, and no excess quotation marks, which I did criticise you for before. It goes to show a man can learn, although apparently not Nash who is still playing his one tired old trick. I’m not sure, however, how you’re so sure CEJ will make 160 more comfortably this time around. I think 160 is absolute murder for the man and leaves him drained and exhausted come the late rounds. So this is always going to be a tough test for him because, whatever his technical shortcomings and limitations, Conor will be throwing a lot of leather every round.
