Cameron was anticlimax made him Whittaker look better than he was wondering if he over trained or first fight a one off strange one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they have abit of a war it will be better than last nights disappointment.. No probs with either everyone keeps comparing Connor to his dad I mean not in his shadow true but he is who he is isn't he and still calling him a cheat and eubanks size etc should get off his back now imo I'll go for Benn on this one but not saying it'll be easy.

I don't like either of them, but dislike benn more than eubank, so hoping for a eubank win. Edited April 21 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He handled himself really well and u can tell he knows how to get under connor Ben's skin Just when you thought British boxing couldn’t get dragged into the gutter any further……ladies and gents I give you……the build up to the Benn / Eubank Jnr fight !! The clips of these pair of screamers have been all over social media and it’s embarrassing…..Eubank snr has the most brains in choosing to step away from this chav car crash and his critique of it I find myself broadly agreeing with. Im no boxing expert by a long shot compared to many lads on this thread but I used to watch boxing religious in my childhood and teens, I remember like it was yesterday Minter v Hagler, the tragedy of the Mike Watson fight, Eubank v Benn, Conte, Lloyd Honeygan, Terry Marsh……names like John H Stracey were spoken about with a bit of respect. Places like Repton Boys Club were spoken about with respect and remembered far beyond the lads that went there and the sphere they influenced….it was a place of local pride for that area. What will these two pillocks be remembered for ?…..nothing, absolutely nothing ! You can watch two absolute c**ts like these scrap outside a kebab shop on any random high street in any random town in Britain on any given Saturday night. I don’t pretend to know the first thing about boxing, the technicalities, the techniques, the art, the sport……but I bet a good few old school fighters are looking at the state of British boxing and the characters representing it and wondering where it all went wrong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
