Leaving it to the experts, but it seems like Eubank’s size will be the deciding factor. As long as he gets through the first six rounds, he should take it — is that the general consensus?
One thing’s for sure, he’s definitely got under Benn’s skin and rattled his team. Just hoping it turns out to be a cracking fight.
Connor Benn is an absolute disgrace and shouldnt be allowed to box.
I hope Eubank flattens him in round 1.
It all depends how much Eubank has got left. He did have a solid chin his legs were gone against Smith who isn't a big puncher.
If Eubank was at his best I think he'd end Benn in 3 rounds. However I think he's probably near washed up.
It all depends what Eubank has left. I reckon he has enough to win a decision because Connor Benn is basically crap.
My interest in boxing has waned over the years but I’m genuinely puzzled at the interest generated in this fight.
Some will pay for it and that’s the bottom line. Sporting wise, what’s the point?
There are plenty of tickets available for this fight despite Eddie's best efforts.Quote:

This is PPV and in a stadium because of their names. Benn in particular has done absolutely nothing to be on PPV. Hasn't even taken on good British title level fighters.
There’s no bigger fight in boxing at the moment according to 2nd hand car salesman :hehe:. He’s as snaky as they come but you got to give him his dues when selling a fight.Quote:

This is my thinking as well. No sporting interest in this mis-weigjht match up whatsoever.Quote:

His punch resistance and strength is going to be questionable.
I'm resigned to City being relegated. Seeing those w@nkers Benn and Hearn celebrating tonight would be horrible and the TV switched off for a week
Cmon Eubank !!!!
Whilst I don’t particularly like either guy, from what I know of them, it is an intriguing match up. Neither are anywhere near as good as their Dads, and this fight is only happening because of the history of the Dads.
Benn has looked ferocious in his few fights so far, but hasn’t fought anyone of note. Eubank Jnr has failed to perform in most of his big fights.
If EJ was in his prime, he’d probably have enough to see off Benn, and may well do tonight, but Benn will be at him from the off like a man possessed.
If I was to put money on it, I’d do Benn to stop him in 5th or 6th round
He didn't look ferocious pre eggs and hasn't looked ferocious post eggs.Quote:

Nothing like splatting an egg on your opponent at a pre fight event to turn the once noble sport of boxing into a WrestleMania like event.Quote:

Make no mistake about it. Benn is ferocious for his size.Quote:

Eubank Snr despite saying he wanted nothing to do with the event has arrived with his son.
Well that was better than I expected.
Both fighters giving their all till the final bell. Can’t ask for more than that. Correct result by all 3 judges in my humble opinion.
Great way to end the day.
Hearn says Benn has become the people's champion.🤣🤣🤣🤣
We all know Hearn talks a load of bollox.Quote:
