Not sure that showing them all buddy buddy is a sensible move from the promoters.
Take away the seemingly genuine enmity and what’ve you got left - a shot, fringe world level guy against a fringe British level ex drug cheat.
Once was enough for me

That seemed very sensible when you wrote it, but now..?a force wrote: ↑29 Apr 2025, 18:41 It’s only a competitive fight if there’s a rehydration clause.
Eubank had nothing behind his shots on Saturday.
It’s dangerous for someone in their mid-30’s to be fighting at a lower weight than what he was in his prime with a rehydration clause.
But then the obvious counter argument is what’s the point in a rematch if Eubank is 100% as Benn will get knocked out.
I would like to see Eddie Hearn, Gareth A Davies & all these other ‘experts’ theory put to the test that Benn can go away & win world titles at welterweight.
I’d bet a very sizeable wedge that Benn won’t beat any 147 champions & in all likelihood he won’t even fight at 147 again.
I keep seeing this but I think Crocker would knock him out.skanksta wrote: ↑20 Sep 2025, 22:13That seemed very sensible when you wrote it, but now..?a force wrote: ↑29 Apr 2025, 18:41 It’s only a competitive fight if there’s a rehydration clause.

May very well fight Crocker next and win !![]()

Remember the first fight when the cameras wide panned the crowd and there were a lot of empty seats in the second block all around?
I think they moved the crowd up to give the impression of a full house, but it wasn't.
They also said it had sold out, and maybe that was the case. The touts who couldn't on sell their tickets probably aren't going to lose their arse twice.
I don't know if I am getting old and curmudgeonly, but the way they sit in 'bad cop' mode with the chair back in front of them is so annoying.

I think they’ll definitely want it, I can’t see a better chance for Benn to win a belt but I’d be surprised if he can make the weight.
