Give over, Keith. Eubank went into that ring knowing he was dead at the weight for the paycheque. He'd accepted defeat long before the fight so of course he wasn't upset to lose. I expect Fury wanted to win hence he was upset.

As people have said, both made a ton of money, which is fair. It's a hard. hard sport.

Not a particularly good fight, pretty dull, due to, for the most part, Benn's limitations and Jnr being wrecked.

Benn got the W and for him and Fast car, in their mind, that can remove the cheat thing, even though they had to stack the deck twice, to do it.

Fast Car wasn't going to do Jnr any favours and you get the feeling he enjoyed that.

Benn is what he is, a limited fighter. He looked fast because Jnr looked so slow and wooden, both times. Against any top natural 147 / 160, that speed won't be that much of a factor.

Eddie is all about getting his investment back, so now he has done that, will push for a world title shot, for a bit of profit and its job done.

Which FOUR did you give to CEJ ?

Think that's a shocking card imo - and I gave CEJ R1 !
Pretty sure that was a mistake from what we saw subsequently, but R1 often a bit harder to score..
Thought the first round was clear Benn round tbh.

Some rounds were evens/crap.

Let’s see. Benn has made his millions. Hes gonna have to take pay cuts now. But he wants the gold.

Can he make 147? He hasn’t made 147 for at least 3 years eh?

Immoral. From a purist and fan viewpoint, probably.

As boxer (which I'm obvs not) and a grown man, making lots of money, accepting the terms is down to you. You can always say No, but its that money thing again, so in that sense, probably not.

Can't really tell a fighter not to take the money, if he feels he wants to.

Sadly death and accidents are always possible, so can't really begrudge anyone.

Cards on the table, I was knackered, fell asleep during the Catteral fight and missed everything.

Seems the weight was the issue yeah

Didn't miss much, Coco.

Jnr looked terrible in the 1st fight but as we saw, gutted it out.

In this fight, he was worse and had nothing from the 1st bell, literally.

I never gave Eubank a round, he looked depleted, no thoughts on a game plan , hardly threw, had a wee bit of success when he cut loose but basically made it piss easy for Benn to work away with no thrills, jabbed to head and body, was a bit wild with the haymakers but still landed plenty to win the rounds, I wouldn't say masterclass but a great display of the fundamentals, the knockdowns in the last round round was the icing, they actually looked around the back of the head, behind the ear at best, Eubank's legs were gone, he was another knockdown way from being stopped but it was too late, simply put Benn was brilliant, Eubank was sh1t

Same as one of the judges. Some of the rounds were shit
Some of the rounds?
Apart from the usual feel out first round it was totally uncompetitive.
Eubank was shit but I think for some rounds Benn was all style and no substance. It was picking between two poor boxers for some of the rounds. Benn still won by a margin.

He ain't tight at the weight. For the morning of the fight weigh ins for both fights, he weighed in well under 170 fully clothed. He wasn't dead at the weight, he just wasn't right mentally.

The writing has been on the wall for Chris Jr since the shocking KO loss against Liam Smith a couple of years ago. He should call it a day now.

He doesn't need the money, and never really had the ambition to fight for a world title, it was the pound note for him

He'd probably still be a shadow of himself without the rehydration clause, but regardless he is clearly, objectively, tight drained and 'dead' at the contracted weight.
