Had it on sky .
Absolutely laughable, Macklin and Groves were saying how well done Benn was doing by nearly connecting.
I looked at the betting at the end of the 10th and Benn was the 1/2 favourite! :o
To be fair I had it even after 10 and Benn you would think being younger, would pull out the last two? :maybe:

Don't want to see a rematch, Eubank won't go to the well again after that. His time has come to pack it in with that brilliant display.

Benn can go back down to his weight and get his arse kicked by a hungry pro.
Yh, would love for this to be a one and done.

I think they can’t top it

Is 116-112 considered wide?

There was some very close rounds in there
It’s idiots that focus on the story. And they think it was close so 116-112x3 dosent feeel close…. They are commenting on feel not reality. Even though it can be rasor thin.

My stream went shitty around 7/8 and I thought Eubank was reasonably ahead behind the jab, he clearly won the last so Benn must have had some stellar later rounds .

Benn has popped up on boxrec as #14 and when you look at who is ahead of him, it doesn't look easy.
We saw tonight where he is at, and I must say his career thus far has been a bit flattering.

Eubank is a shell of what he was and Benn although extremely tough is just not very good. That being said it was a very entertaining fight

I thought it was real close up until the tenth. Eubank was gaining momentum.
But it was the last two rounds where I think he cemented the win.

Assume Eubank holds the cards regarding a rematch. No rehydration clause or no fight. I don't want to see it though.

Great fight.

Harder than I thought but felt Eubank won it by maybe 2, possibly 3 rounds.

I did think Benn's speed would be a problem, which it was. Still, was a great fight.

That was plenty and when the lights shone to the back of the venue it looked a bit underfilled. They may have moved people forward. Be interesting to know.

Tbh it's probably the best route for both of them to go down. Eubank isn't winning a world title and Benn isn't European level. With the money that would be generated is suites all concerned to do it again.

Absolutely shitloads of empty seats and how many "celebrities" and all those ringside are actually paying punters .
It sold badly.

Benn tried to set him up to the gills with clomifene 🥚. Fined him £600’000 for throwing an egg and missing weight by 0.05 pounds. Hit him with a draining rehydration clause. He beat the system, Eddie Hearn and Benn
