Good fight that lived up to the hype. Had it much closer, possibly one round the difference in favour of Eubanks.

 

[Benno]

I felt Eubank was more accurate but Benn worked so hard. The eye cut was from a clash of heads so eubank looked worse. Tremendous fight but didn’t ever feel benn could get a knock out. Doffed cap to both fighters!

Punch count out yet?

Wait for the punch stats you’ll see it was right

Same but it was so close on so many rounds that Eubank could have easily won as he did. Noticeable Nigel Benn etc didn't scream injustice

Punch count out yet?

Will be telling

He's literally crying on his Daddy's shoulder like.

And?

 

[Bryan+]

I would not say that was a great technical fight, I’m not a boxing aficionado like some here and defo a casual, but it was a proper fight with very little left in the tank from the both of them. Will win a lot of new fans for boxing in the UK if nothing else.

Kinda pointless for a rematch really,

Eubank 367 to Benn's 215 punches landed (227 to 180 in terms of power punches)

Really enjoyed it, proper tear up, had it much closer than the judges but might have been biased as Really wanted Benn to win.

If Benn can bomb and move that hard vs his natural division, he'll be undisputed for 5 years solid. He's 27.

Very few can move up weights and make it work. The few that can are all time greats*.

Good spectacle, good show, no negative to coming up short in a bout set up against you.

eubank jnr aint got a lot left, chasing canello seems a bit silly.

A lot of Eubank's punches landed were in last 2 rounds. Skews it a bit.

 

[Bazlar]

For me the whole fight was a showboat farce. Neither of them are in their arl fellers class. The fact that Eubabank couldn't make the weight says it all. Always in your Da's shadow. Stop kidding everyone with their name

116v112 seemed fair to me. Neither a patch on their fathers but Eubank jr the better out of the two.

Was a strange watch, hated the buildup with the positive tests and missed weight….felt it was a disaster waiting to happen…but couldn’t help getting engrossed by it as it went on.

Sad state of affairs in a way that neither are truly world championship level yet they manage to sell out a stadium on the back of some fake beef/standing on the shoulders of their dads.

Be interesting to see what is next for British boxing. Need some new genuine stars to emerge.

Eubank Jr was bigger and that was the difference.
Thought Benn was in the fight but lack the power.
It was great dust up but technically wasn’t brilliant. Would rather watch this though

 

[irishblue11]

Great fight, thought Eubank was the winner but felt it was closer than the scorecards, maybe 115-113 would've been fairer to Benn, proper tear up though.
