Benn v Eubank

Re: Benn v Eubank

if the fight goes ahead, hasn't boxing gone down the cycling route ( pre the clean up ) ? ??

Boxing clearly has an issue.

Money and greed prevents a clear up.

It's been corrupt since the 80's, it's hard to change that when so much money is involved.
Football's no different.
A world cup in Qatar is happening for that very reason. Nobody wanted it held there except the wealthy money men in Qatar and FIFA. We can all see why it's happening.

I said on here months ago that this fight was a pantomime which didn’t interest me, it’s been a joke from the get go.

Still remember their dads fights….what a time that was…brutal

It’s not for the fans, that’s for sure…..

Lose lose for Benn even if it does go ahead. If Eubank beats him he beat him even though he was cheating, if Benn wins then it's because he'd taken PED's. Fight's f**ked, call it off

Was just about to post the same. Still want to see it happen, but its tarnished.

For me that's not a good enough reason for these two to meet in the ring.

Im surprised by the amount of medical experts out there. We keep getting told the NHS is short of medical professionals and yet social media is full of them all of a sudden. Who would have thought there would be so many experts on female fertility drugs?

Re: Benn v Eubank

At a bare minimum the dehydration clause should be removed and the fighting weight be set at the correct middleweight limit.

This test was done in late August early September apparently. Its a complete joke.

Its one thing a cyclist being a drug cheat. A boxer pumping up getting stronger fitter more aggressive and punching you in the head is another.

Frampton is right there should be lifetime bans.

Eubanks is willing to fight, hes the one whos going to be punched in the head, surely he should have the final say?

Dont agree with that at all.

Plenty of boxers need protecting from themselves. Many through their own choices go on too long.

Thats their choice as was Eubank agreeing to the weight and rehydration clause.

However Benn has failed a drug test.

The BBBOC are right not to want this fight sanctioned and Eddie going around saying they cant ban him because it was the VADA test and hes passed the UK and all other ones is pathetic. (especially when you see the old video of him praising Vada).

Boxing needs to clean up its act.

Another thing thats mental we had really sombre promoters saying it was absolutely right to call of the Shiels/Marshall fight when the 97 year old Queen passes away but now the lawyers are involved to allow a fight involving a fighter with a failed drug test.

Boxings always been a bit mad.

There's apparently an issue with the 2nd part of the test now as well. If he fails that, I can't see it being sanctioned unless it is done via Luxembourg or what have you. Even then it has to be a major doubt though.

Frustrating if it gets called off. I know some don't care for this fight, but I think it's got humdinger written all over it!

He didn't agree to it anyway. Absolutely nothing he can do about it.
