If someone is consistently rude then there’s going to be a reaction which I won’t hold against them.

Just like if Eddie is being a nob about someone then it’s no issue for them to go back at him.

It is good/pretty new to see Eddie so rattled. He hates not being allowed to talk.

We'll have to disagree on this one.

My issue isn't the size of his wealth, it's the source of it.

If your business has a model that in part is dependant on participants risking physical and mental damage, there is a moral dimension at play here. To will one of those participants to get smashed to pieces is repugnant IMO.

As for action and reaction, as per my previous post, there has to be a sense of proportionality, surely you would accept that?

I'd have zero issue with him telling Eubank Jr he was being a dick. However stating he wants him to suffer significant physical damage in this most unforgiving of sports is just plain wrong.

I do see where you’re coming from but I wasn’t that bothered by Eddie’s choice of words. Perhaps I should have been but I didn’t take the words literally. If he’d said he wanted Benn to inflict long term damage etc then I’d obviously be well against it but I think he just used a throwaway line.

CEJ has called Eddie a scumbag, fraud etc so I’m not surprised Eddie wants to see Benn win well. I’m sure Eddie doesn’t want to see Eubank in hospital post fight but I’d imagine he wants Benn to do something similar to what Smith did to Eubank in the first fight and KO him early.

Seems like wasted effort. Might as well have come in at 165. He's going to be a corpse in there

Normally I would agree but given he has to be 170 or less tomorrow he couldn’t come in 165 today. He had to get the weight down

Seems crazy a $500k fine for 0.05 lb…. That is a miniscule amount of weight.

Bro should have just cut his hair or something.

It’s 22 grams if my calculation is correct

Actually having just read a little bit more seems that Benn weighed in at 11:26 and Eubank had to weigh in within an hour of that. eubank turned up just after 12 and missed weight by 2 ozs stripped off completely , still over .. but by then only had 10 mins to try get last bit of weight off and basically ran out of time.

I wonder what time the weigh in was scheduled for ?
