Given the showcase under the main event of Tyson Fury?s return, Conor Benn fully comprehends the magnitude of the moment and the importance of routing Regis Prograis.

At this point Benn and Prograis are known commodities. Benn hasn't looked as washed as Prograis but he looks starved here lately.

benn is nothing lol. how is he a hot commodity...oh yeah nepotism the same tr-ump thing. untalented bum elevated based on his name and yet everyone pretends they are legit to pad their own pockets along the way

I don't see why this okish fighter gets so much press, he just fights on a domestic UK level.

will be interesting to see if conor can rediscover his power at 147, i tend to think no but he should win this fight and ryan is very beatable himself so its perfect timing by conor it seems so far

Benn looks unhealthily skinny trying to make 150 by the weekend.

you could be right didnt didnt know it was 150 so hes not there yet

Yeah, 150 is the catchweight for this one.

Benn will no doubt rehydrate like a man who has just discovered food for the 24 hours after he hits the scales. But he may gain an appreciation now for what Eubank Jnr went through.

true

as far as i know eubank was restricted to putting on 10 pounds from the weighin to the morning of the fight which is the same thing the ibf have introduced for safety reasons yet a lot of boxers put on more than 10 pounds from the weighin and eubank must have been one of those guys, i think the whole thing is dangerous anyway boxers should fight at their proper inring weights seems would be far safer to me anyway just weight them closish to the fight itself to not give any time for rehydrating water

He said he was walking around at 175 lbs

He rehydrated to 165 on the unofficial weigh in for Eubank 2.

He's weighed in at 149.5 but it looks as if it was a difficult cut by the looks of it.
