Eubank Jr v conor Benn, what's your thoughts?

Think only thing Benn can lose really is pride. Even if Eubank stops him or beats him up, he can just return to 147 have confidence building win and then he's back in the same position he's in now in that division. Eubank again is more pride at stake, cause he doesn't seem interested in fighting the champions in his own 160 division, so not much other than pride on the line here for both imo.

On the fight itself I think eubank if he's not weight drained will just be to big and experienced for Benn. Think Eubank of afew years ago when he just threw combinations would probably have stopped Benn but now under RJJ he seems more methodical in his approach. Think it will more than likely go the distance and they could possibly have a rematch next year, but also have a feeling that Eubank will try to stop Benn in the same round his dad stopped Nigel so could have sneaky bet on Eubank round 11.

Really stupid fight for Benn to take. Could end up like Brooke.

I'm hopeful that it'll be a right tear up. I think both guys have good chins and good engines, and whilst Eubank Jnr is the bigger man he's not really a massive puncher, more a volume puncher.

I think Eubank Jnr maybe wins by late stoppage or on points but I don't think either man will be KO'd.

I'm going to have a cheeky few quid on the draw. Always good odds and wouldn't surprise me to see this one fixed up for another go.

Are you sure Benn's chin is that good mate? He's been dropped a few times.

I don't think getting dropped means you're chinny. You can get put down without being hurt and I think whenever I've seen Benn put down (Peynaud?) he didn't look particularly hurt. Peynaud hit him with good shots too.

Carl Froch was knocked down twice :)

Froch was against middleweight punchers and didn't get dropped until he was fighting elite guys.

Benn got dropped by a guy with 4 kos to his name at welterweight. I think the first time Eubank connects clean will be telling in their fight.

U make a good point there Hsf mate and Benn has never really faced a puncher, although I wouldn't call someone chinny because they have been dropped early in their career. If it was a reoccurring theme like Khan then yes of course. The weight could be factor here, will eubank have the same snap if he's struggled to cut the weight and Benn could be more solid with the extra pounds on him.
Interested to find out.

I've never said he's chinny, just that I don't think his chin is good enough to have a ruck with Eubank Jr.

I like Benn, which is why I'm so scathing of him taking this fight.

Good point mate. Hopefully it's a good fight.
