I'm no expert either, only fights that come into my field of view are ones that are built up like this sadly I will watch it regardless , I wouldn't pay for it but I got nothing on Saturday night so it will chuck it on the firestick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just say what I see mate. it's just to hype it up for viewing figures there's so much more money involved these days than the era you're talking about ,got to agree with you though it is cringeworthy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 826 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) I too make Snr right on his opinion, he knows only too well the dangers of the sport, especialy with silly novelty fights in different weight classes, he knows what's at stake And the fight is a spectacle and nothing more, without there surnames they wouldn't share a ring, that being said I will be watching it, it isn't a bad card st all, chris-billam smith is out and so's Liam smith, both in what could be very good fights I'm not a great lover of Eubank Jnr but I cannot stand Benn, if pushed for who i want to win, truth told I hope Jnr weighs Benn in, Jnr should keep Benn at range, tie him up when he gets overenthusiastic which he no doubt will, and rip them shots in as the fight goes on, early rounds favour Benn, later rounds favour Eubank, As for last weekends boxing what a terrible stoppage, Edited April 23 by Billy b 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,547 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I reckon Eubank will come in heavy on fight night and pay the penalty , i can only give Benn a punchers chance, its a daft fight but we'll all be watching. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 826 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Summed up what I said to a friend earlier, divvy fight in all honesty, but yes we'll all be watching. It's a far better do than Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr... No make you right he didn't complain, but Liam Cameron seems to be a very is what it is type of man, takes lots of things in his stride. Talented as he is though I still think Whittaker will fall short somewhere down the line, he didn't like it at all when the going got tough in fight 1, took that as a bit of a look into his character 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping eubank rips them uppercuts in and puts it all over Benn, he's smart and can ride the rounds to a late stoppage or comfortable points win imo. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s obvious that Benn’s camp are relying on Eubank’s being weight drained to tip things his way. End of the day no-one put a gun to Eubank’s head when he signed up to the weight and rehydration clause, but if he gets seriously hurt then it’ll be on more than him. Hearn’s acted like a bit of a prick the last few days and they all knew Eubank would struggle to make weight and the rehydration clause to me is fcuking reckless. No fan of Eubank but I hope he batters Benn. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Councilestatekid 2,112 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 Think it could be 1st main event where both fighters get booed don't like either of them to be fair when benn first started out looked good prospect but he comes across as a nob half the time and eubank is same don't think either are good enough to become a world champ and basically this will be biggest pay day they get riding off their fathers name if had to pick 1 id rather benn win in reality think prob eubank 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
