What the fornicate Eddie
Haven't listened to it but presumably Bunce fails to challenge Eddie on any of this, as well as the other basic flaws in the case of the defence that we've heard?
As Eddie’s rambling on with his nonsense you can hear Buncey saying “yes” and “of course” in the background.

He doesn’t ask him one searching question, doesn’t try to contradict any of the nonsense coming out of his mouth. It’s a difficult listen to be honest.
The final nail in the coffin (if any were needed) of Bunce's claim to be a credible, impartial journailst.

Hmmm. Let’s get you in with Spence Jr then Conor. Kell did pretty well. Let’s do that rather than call out old retired fighters or guys who have to lose a ridiculous amount of weight.

Let’s level the playing field

Looking at Brock Lesnar’s Wiki page, I didn’t realise Brock tested positive twice for Clomifene in 2016. I’m coming to realise it’s a very commonly used masking agent for committed PED heads. Nevada gave Brock a 1 year suspension and a $250,000 fine. But he never paid the fine and never fought again.

Mark Hunt failed in suing the UFC for that because they knew about the failed test, hid it from him and then let the fight go ahead where he took quite a beating.

Before all this Benn saga I pinned Eddie down as the cleverest cat in boxing, not even Houdini could make Benn come out of this smelling of roses but a genuine dangerous fight could fan the flames but Pacquiao?? A Mongolic move, nothing good can come out this , its a circus move

Probably another lab error. Brock Lesnar does not look like a drugs user.

Can you imagine if Mauricio had got his hands on it. ‘Our panel of independent experts have looked into this very deeply and they have categorically found he ate an abundance of steak and eggs.’

I remember an interview with Ken Shamrock where he was saying with certainty that Brock was on PEDS and the guy interviewing said ‘well hold on he’s never failed a test’ and Shamrock just goes ‘yeah ok buddy.’

Kell Brook: I'd Love To Show Conor Benn What Time It Is!

“I think I’ve just been pushed and prodded by a fella we all know now, Conor Benn. You know, a fighter’s a fighter, it’s always in me and I love the challenges. I’d love to show this young Benn what time it is. But, obviously we’ve got to sit down with his boss, Eddie Hearn, and his manager and come up with my service fee, which is going to be quite decent,” Brook told Talk Sport.

“This is my game, I’ve done it many times before and I know I had to just put myself in that prison and give myself completely and utterly to the sport and put everything into it. I am still in my mind the best welterweight, light middleweight out there, definitely in Britain anyway. And like I said if we do sit down and I get that excitement once again and I take my slippers off and put my trainers back on then we could see me running them roads again maybe.”

Brook is shot to bits, Khan was just even more shot to bits. Benn batters him. Hope Kell doesn’t give him the satisfaction.

Well, should be fun. While Jordan is no boxing expert, he will certainly ask difficult questions, but I expect Eddie to hide behind the legal restrictions bit when it comes to Benn.

After cooking and eating thirty eggs a day, Benn has decided to harvest his own methane production for profit, spending three hours a day in a custom built gas collection chamber sponsored by Matchroom Sports.

He has also now become an expert omelette maker and is opening his own breakfast bar in London called "30 Bennedict House". Front of house to be Spencer Oliver, shouting "You can't eat fvcking thirty eggs a day!" to bring the punters in.

*Disclaimer - We take no responsibility for any side effects of eating products at 30 Bennedict House such as increased fertility, elevated testosterone levels and blindness. Effects similar to clomiphene use are purely coincidental*
