Should be on page 3 in The Sun, not Boxingscene!

I'm sure Shakur sees an easy night's work.

Conor couldn't hit that kid with a handful of rice.

I know Conor is just playing the game and the opportunity to create megafights with Eubank Jr based on his father's name has elevated him into this kind of company....but it's not quite right.

I mean what titles has he actually won? Certainly not British or European or Commonwealth.

Despite looking the part and being a character and yeah, boxing past Eubank Jr nicely in the rematch. How good is he really?

I have no idea. Honestly, neither can he. He's not fought through the levels.

Eddie should have been there more. Wasn't there for his fighter winning a world title. And the other week he travelled to the US to see his fighter win a world title because really he didn't have faith in him so lost the purse bid instead of winning, so it probably got like 50 buys in the UK at 5am and for that price tag not many in the UK even noticed except your regular boxing fans

Disappointing to see Benn given such a high profile after his failed test, but more disappointing to see Shakur egging him on.

You saw that too I see, for Benn to stand next to four pretty great former and current fighters.

He's a decent fighter, but man, he'd be hitting air if he fought Shakur. Levels dude.
