They'd be sky high now for a real sell out.

I've always leaned towards Benn being too young and aggressive, just pressing Eubank and clocking him like Smith did first half but I've had a change of heart, think Eubank knocks Benn out , maybe early, Eubank starts fast himself sometimes but tends to coast, Benn hasn't looked the same since the test, but has got some good rounds in, I can genuinely see both guys knocking the other out and it won't be nothing to do with weight, it'll be about getting caught clean but you know if Eubank wins he's too big, if he loses he's drained meh

I think it's going to play out just like the Eubank-Liam Smith fight, I just can't decide which one.

If that happens, it won't be a shock, or a great victory or any of the rhetoric we will hear, it will be an aging fighter who is fighting, and has been fighting, at a weight that is too low for him to be strong and virile - this will be the worst ever version of Chris Eubank Jr in terms of his raw physicality. Anybody who thinks Conor will not be the fittest, strongest, fastest, most powerful version of himself ever for this fight is deluded - he will be far, far more explosive than he was in those two fights in the USA.

Final Prediction: This should be easy work for Chris, I understand why almost everybody is picking him, but I'm going with a tide and time prediction. Conor Benn will stop Chris Eubank. Chris will be weak, off the pace and get his clock cleaned. Hope I am well wrong.

I agree with your analysis and fear your prediction could be bang on the money.

For me there are shades of Haye Bellew here. A physically compromised guy earning the last big payday available to him by choosing to fight a manufactured rival who he’d have dealt with easily in his prime

people talk like he's moving down weights or something
