The Nepo Fight

Post Massive Attack »

Benn v Eubank Jnr

Who's your money on or who even cares? 

I reckon Benn within 6 Rounds and for Eubank Senior to make a surprise entrance flying in on a drone to simply the best.

To me neither fighter seemed to dominate a round rather each fighter edged rounds and I think that Eubank did more of this than Benn.

Benn looked more aggressive early on but Eubank landed more punches and had a higher sucess rate over the fight.  Plus was the aggressor in the latter stages when as the older man you’d think it was the other way around.
i have a new respect for Eubank jnr, showed some proper guts in there last night. Shame it’s towards the end of his career, if he fought like that previously might have caused a few more problems.

Eubank probably won it just, but Benn was more aggressive and wanted to win it more. All set up for a multi million pound rematch in Riyadh surprise surprise

Dont think people here give considering to the amount of jabs Eubank landed.
Eubank was hitting him with so many jabs every round, then a hook or two from Connor makes people think Benn on top because it was a bigger looking punch. Eubank then started giving them too in the later rounds, that scorecard was fair I think but then scorecards have always mystified me to be honest.

either way at least most agree the right person won.

made me miss what we were lucky to enjoy in the 90's

I thought it was a great fight to watch. None of this cagey shit. A proper street fight is worth paying a score for. 

By four rounds is an absolute scandal. I’d have tolerated a split decision narrow win for Eubank, but I had it Benn or draw at a push. 

One suspect life decision aside, I don’t get the problem with Benn. He seems a decent fella to me, and interviewed well even though he was probably livid. Normal(ish) old man too. On the other side, christ alive. Snr is absolutely cuckoo, and his son uncomfortably arrogant.

Beaten, yes. But not to the degree it was scored.

He looked absolutely fucked in the last round, holding at every opportunity and tying the fight up.

Eubank jnr is done at any decent level. Just a gimmick fighter now, scraping past a welterweight.

8-4 unanimously?

Bollocks!

I'd have happily accepted a narrow win for either fighter, not one being twice as good as the other.
