[Other Sport] Eubank v Benn

[dangull]

Look at Eubanks' face compared to Benn. 4 rounds difference? I thought Eubank did well to edge the last 2 rounds to get a draw on my scorecard.
I guess the naturally smaller man influences my scoring as well

Be fun to have one of these at the Amex - they may have more than two if they stay this close in battling

Less ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, more ‘Tear Up by The Terrace’…

The cut was a clash of heads. Mad shout on the draw. Jr was toying with him throughout.

It was Benn's head that cut his eye. It might have been punches that reddened his cheek but could just as easily have been the head again.

Thank god actual boxing judges don’t judge the winner by “who’s got the more hurty looking face”

there was a clear clash of heads which caused the damage to Eubanks eye. Benn showed a lot of heart tonight but a lot of inexperience it was windmills at times. Lots of punches doesnt equal scoring punches

I had Eubank up by four rounds and therefore agreed with the judges. He was picking off Benn all the time after the first 3-4 rounds. Amazing effort to keep it going as well for those last two rounds. He nearly finished it in round 12.

completely agree. Once he found his range and Benn’s head and body movement slowed, there was only one winner. As usual the toss pot Eddie Hearn disagrees with a decision and tries to make it controversial when one of his fighters loses.

Humour me here as it's the 1st fight I've ever seen since Eubank vs Watson. I instantly question Eubank & Benn's fathers & would strongly suggest that they are getting their kids to fight their battles which is morally wrong! Yeah whatever I watched it anyway.

I do however have questions....

1) Has it always been acceptable for an American (in the UK, between 2 British fighters) announcer to say 'Lets get ready to rumble'?, as I thought that was for wrestling.
2) Who was the Saudi(?) guy that featured heavily on the TV?
3) Is the dancing around for the 1st 3 rounds looking like you're a couple of 17 year olds on West St after 1 to many fruit Kopparbergs on the beach, the new 'normal'?
4) How much was a ticket to go to the fight & how much to watch on TV?
5) How quickly will the rematch be announced? I assumed rematches were for draws but this appears to no longer be the case!

Edit to add. I thought that Eubank deserved the win, from a completely neutral position of not giving a s**t. Benn looked wasted at times although the camera didn't show how wasted Eubank did/didn't look.

I have a Forest pal who can also hold a conversation using just Partridge, the nights fly by

Anyway my supper is ready, “beans in a cup”

I'll avoid the rematch, I have a regular meet up with Nick Knowles at Gatwick Airport.

Watching in the stadium I had Eubank winning convincingly. Landed far more. Was a great fight though

2) Who was the Saudi(?) guy that featured heavily on the TV?

I didn’t watch this fight but i think you might have meant this guy, he’s the Saudi Sports Dude who sorts all the stuff out, Billionaire ofc and apparently is seriously looking at buying ‘Massive’ and actually making them proper Massive.

That moment when the limo door opened revealing senior, the crowd goes wild and jr comes over looking so relieved. Staged or not , it was amazing telly.

I did not know he was only early 40’s! I thought he was late 50’s they treat him like some emperor or something. It’s embarrassing how boxing hails him and acts around him.

Talksport specifically Jordan & White live in his colon, not the outer holding chamber, oh no, they’ve crawled so far up it would be quicker for that cnunt Jim White to exit through his mouth.

Didn’t think the commentary on Sky did a good job at all last night. Could clearly see Eubank landing but they were so fixated on Benn coming back at him if you just listened you’d have thought Benn was going to win!

Talksport commentary was spot on

Just heard Steve Bunce say both fighters had to go to a place they’d never been to before, so at least they both got to tick off another football ground.
