Boxing

Someone keeps punching you in the face and the guts, then the face and the ribs, then getting off before you can tag them back, it's gonna take its toll.
Benn just out-fought, out-thought and out-worked him. Perfect game plan.

You're just a cynical old bàstard like me. 😘
I saw punches pulled. with my eyes.
 

Eubank clearly wasn’t at it from the first bell. A tale as old as time in boxing…heavy legs from age and weight loss.

Went the way I thought the first one would to be honest…imo the matchmaking was never great, a forced ‘feud’ for money and to up benn’s profile…the whole covering up the drugs scandal never sat well and eubank’s weight loss at 36 bordering on reckless.

Eubank had never been a world class operator, great personality and tough as nails though.

Benn has a chance at a world title at 147 but needs to get moving now.
Eubank is a good fighter, he’s a decent boxer. The is a huge difference. He wasn’t allowed to fight, was made to box. The weight, it was the same as the first fight. Age won’t have helped, probably caught up with him but can’t blame the weight, it worked for him in his last 7 fights.

Benns big problem dropping down in weight after such a long time away from his natural weight. He’ll struggle to win a world title at welter, best chance is Barrios.
