I assume you didn't watch (I did) the 'Four Kings' documentary on Amazon Prime on Lewis, Bruno, Benn and Eubank? Lennox Lewis certainly had his faculties and finances intact from his career for now.

[Other Sport] Eubank v Benn
- Thread starter Uncle Spielberg
- Start date
I’ve been thinking eubank all the way In a low quality but entertaining scrap.
But in the last couple of weeks Benn has come across very together, Eubank less and less.
Culminating in the weigh in.
It’s feeling a bit like Bellew v Haye where Haye cut a sad, lonely figure at the end.
I actually now think Benn will pull this off

Does anyone know what time the fight is likely to start? BBC Sussex said midnight but I thought most venues in London had curfews for events these days.

It's the only reason I have an interest in it
I believe there's a rematch clause anyway
Apparently the venue lights have to be off by 11pm, if so it’ll have to be 10 sharpish.
Yes rematch scheduled for October. If it’s completely one sided fight, rematch unlikely to happen.
West Ham, Palace, Benn looks a lot better value at 40/1.

Eubank wins by knockout/stoppage within 6 rounds is my bet. I’ve got an excellent record of predicting fights, and a terrible one with football. Benn just can’t do it.
Makes me laugh how Benn tries to project a sort of down to earth, man of the people image. The bloke grew up wearing silk pyjamas. And he is a drugs cheat.
Eubank Jr can come across as aloof and arrogant, but underneath it there is integrity.

As an aside, what’s the deal with the other son who doesn’t speak to his dad, Nigel, or his brother, Connor? What happened there?

Every fibre of my being wants Eubank to win… which is not the case for many of his other fights.
My initial thoughts were that if Eubank can weather the onslaught in the first 5-6 rounds and take Benn to the later rounds then he could stop him down the stretch or take the points.
Having seen events unfold with the weight cut and rehydration clause etc… I will be shocked if Eubank can muster the energy to touch gloves at the fist bell.
Conor coming up in weight full of food, water, energy and PED’s.
Hate to say it but I think Benn throws the kitchen sink at him and, with little punch resistance due to the above, stops him early.
Card looks decent so looking forward to this one.

Eubank Jr the favourite at the bookies
