wykikitoon 24164 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I hardly watch boxing nowadays but it's interested in the Benn & Eubank fight. Eubank hasnt made weight though so not sure what happens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 34827 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He’s missed the weight by 0.05lbs and it’s cost him £375k Anyway the fight is between two bang average boxers who wouldn’t be anywhere near a stadium PPV fight if it weren’t for their fathers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 34827 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Trying to watch the boxing and for some reason the cunts are insisting on showing two cunts playing a new version of Mortal Kombat. The games gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTaylor5 1228 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I thought Eubank edged it but not by as much as the cards had it. I was half expecting a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38239 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I was reading that, after the success of this event, they are now looking into using the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to host some football matches 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 24164 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 So eubank was admitted to hospital as is protocol after a tough fight. So why wasn't Benn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 38239 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I bet Eubank was dangerously dehydrated. Failed to make the weight by half an ounce or something. But there didn’t look to be a bit of fat on him at the weigh in. Then there was a clause where he couldn’t weigh more than 170 pounds (or gain another 9.5 lbs) before the fight. I think the fight could’ve still go ahead but Eubank had already been fined a fortune for the former and I think it would’ve been the same again if he’d weighed more than 170. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38239 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I didn’t watch it live but I’ve seen the full fight now. I know it was a massive payday for those involved but why the fuck is a super middleweight fighting a welterweight at middleweight? I know that’s rhetorical question given the answer is obviously because of the pay day. But despite the all action ‘tear up’ nature of fight, I really didn’t enjoy watching it. I think more should be made of the 170 lbs clause and the dangers of a fighter going into a 12 round match without being able to rehydrate properly. But just as much the talk should be about the danger of someone going in against a much bigger man. The nauseating Eddie Hearn was, straight after the fight, talking about Benn being at potential superstar at welterweight. Really? I thought he showed great heart and what a chin but a lot of his work was wild and inaccurate. If he can’t avoid the punches from Eubank, who looked leggy from about 4 rounds in and who is at the end a good but not stellar career then I’d question his ability to do so against world level fighters at 147 lbs. If Hearn really thought that why put his fighter in this position? (See previous rhetorical question). Also, Benn took loads of punishment (which he took really well) in the latter rounds. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s never the same fighter again. Something else Hearn conveniently ignored. There shouldn’t be a rematch so there probably will be one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 46887 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 42 minutes ago, Alex said: But just as much the talk should be about the danger of someone going in against a much bigger man You’d have thought Eubanks in particular would’ve been very wary about how wrong this could have gone, given what happened in one of his Dad’s fights. But, aye- payday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
