It does sort of fit the MO, old retired or semi retired. With careful matching Connor can fight on for years, with just the one defeat

I hope they don't fight again. As good as the first fight (unexpectedly) was I don't think Benn has the beating of Eubank unless age & weight play a major part - which they will - and the last thing we need is Eubank getting damaged because he's not allowed to rehydrate properly.

Not sure where Chris goes from here. He has a habit of drifting not capitalising on momentum for whatever reasons.

As for Benn, a quick warm up to see if he can make 147 again then a fight against Ryan Garcia is a battle of the people who definitely didn't use PEDs.

“Contractually, that is what is on paper,” Eubank Jr told the Diary of a CEO podcast. “It’s very likely that fight will happen again at some point this year. I want what the fans want. If the fans want to see it next, who am I to say no?” he added. “The demand for this Conor Benn fight is at an all-time high right now so I feel like that would be the fight to make next.”

I didn't see the fight and don't speak for the fans but I'm a fairly casual boxing fan and I don't want to see a rematch! Chris, fight for a belt before you're too old.

Think that ships sailed now. Obvious a struggle to make MW so he’d be back up at 168. He couldn’t win a belt there when he was in prime, no chance now. Plus belts with canelo, Crawford next.

CEJ said he’d have the rematch if the fans demanded it.

Other than a few casual fans, who wants a rematch?

I think he should ride off with the win.

Benn isn’t even 100% on the rematch either, saying he wanted to fight at WW later this year, maybe for a title.

A few casual fans? They’d probably sell 80,000 tickets if they have a rematch.

There are millions of casual boxing fans in the U.K.

It’s too dangerous. Eubank was a shell from the opening round because of weight.

Can’t see him being able to call the shots on the weights for the rematch, when it was all agreed beforehand.
He could always just pay a larger fine and come in at 162 or 162.5

Benn of course COULD theoretically pull out of the fight if he did that, but I get the feeling he'd be $trongly encouraged not too by the promoters.

Also why is everyone acting as if it's just a monumental feat for Eubank to make 160 when his last like 5 fights prior to this were at 160? If he could make it for those fights, why is it supposedly killing him now?
Because he is a lot older now and nearly bloody killed himself making the weight. The first fight should never have been sanctioned. I said it before and I'll say it again. Everybody involved in this circus should be ashamed of themselves. Eubank was dead at the weight,he had nothing in the tank. Benn had all the advantages in his favour and still came up short. Enough said.

Did he nearly kill himself making the weight? If so how did he not die in his last few fights when he came in a few pounds lighter than he came in for this one.

It was a disadvantage to him, but getting a guy to drain down to the same exact weight class he's already been competing in isn't exactly the gigantic hurdle it's being made out as.

I do think the more you do it and the older you do it at must be progressively worse for your body though.

I don't disagree with that. I figure it was a worthwhile sacrifice for Eubank though who's surely only got a handful of fights left in his career, if that.

I see no reason for him to do a rematch though unless he gets to come in at a higher weight since he wants to make such a fuss about it.

I think the rehydration clause had an extra impact.

It's an early negotiation tactic for the rematch

Gives it the big one about the weight, the board will prob stop this clause getting put on

Eubank gets the rematch without having to boil down in weight
