I can't believe Brits get excited over this match up
These 2 guys are Mediocre. This isn't Spence vs Crawford.

This is going to be a great fight. Saturday afternoon fights, just like the old days.

It's interesting, not a rematch to be rejected, by t obviously it won't be as exciting, I don't think.

The first fight likely took a lot out of them. It's a great extra money maker for both of them. They never have to work again.

Most people will not see it and a lot more do not care.

Its kind of a bad look for Eubank being in such an even fight with a guy who isn't even a top tier welter.

It was a better fight than Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence Junior 'and the narrative of the fight, was also more compelling and interesting. Boxing is show business, Crawford vs Spence Junior was a great boxing match up, but? It was not really great in terms of show business'.

Note: Beyond titles, and rankings in reality? All people care about is a story and action. If a dynamic can be created between two fighters, which has a good story and then those two fighters compete against each other in a great fight. That is going to be a very attractive, and popular boxing event'.

The facts are, both Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Junior 'due to their father's rivalry have inherited a great story. And now? To their credit they have carried on the Benn vs Eubank rivalry to a certain extent'.

The original first fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Junior I 'could have backfired, and went very wrong. Ether Eubank Junior could have been too impeded by the rehydration clause to compete, or potentially he could have blasted out Benn. Neither of those two things happened, even though Eubank Junior was negating the negative effects of the rehydration clause he still was able to produce a courageous performance and achieve the win'.

To conclude: I think the rematch is warranted, we all know that this is not a World title fight 'and it has never been promoted as that level of event. It is competition between two fighters, who clearly have a deep passion and determination to beat each other'.

You don't have to watch the fight, and you also don't really need to talk about it 'but you are, so there is obviously something which intrigues you about this match up'.

I think people in the boxing community, just need to accept the fight 'it is a better boxing event, than all the exhibition and celebrity cross over events. So I don't really think hardcore boxing fans should be complaining too much' etc.

Which is why an in demand rematch between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley is infinitely more interesting than a longshot miracle comeback attempt at victory for a faded Anthony Joshua in a rematch vs either Parker or Dubois.
