Are there really people out there dumb enough to buy this ****?

So many Brits will chew it all up
What’s worse is they believe all that comes out of Slow Eddie’s mouth

I think for the first time during any pre fight press conference 'Eddie Hearn was completely, out manoeuvred by Chris Eubank Junior. Only once before has this happened? And that was when Toney Bellew fought David Haye for the first time, Haye? During that first pre-fight press conference, in terms of the points made or as an orator destroyed Eddie Hearn'.

Chris Eubank Junior done a similar thing vs Hearn 'Eddie Hearn was for sure, offended and extremely uncomfortable with the points Eubank Junior was making. And how he was delivering those points in front of the World's boxing media'.

In regards to the actual match up, I have always maintained that Chris Eubank Junior should win 'Conor Benn has never at any point in his professional career, fought in a real fight. All of his professional fights in my opinion, have been manufactured so the likely-hood of him winning is increased. That is the key difference between Eubank Junior's and Benn's careers so far. Conor Benn has never been involved in a fight where? The other fighter has not be chosen to lose, those are ultimately the facts of his career'.

Chris Eubank Junior has fought at every single level in the sport, and whether he has won or lost 'He has always produced a commendable effort. There is no denying that he is a solid fighter, and has created his own boxing legacy beyond his father's Chris Eubank Senior'.

Eubank Junior has achieved the feat of being a British Champion, winning the Prestigious Lonsdale Belt against a fighter in Nick Blackwell 'In one of the most brutal British title fights, that have happen in the past 15 years. Eubank Junior vs Blackwell in my opinion, was the best British title fight in the past 15 years. The only reason why the fight is not herald as such a great moment in the sport, is because of the brutality and tragedy that occurred during the after of the fight. Regardless, both Chris Eubank Junior and Nick Blackwell fought a awesome fight, and that fight and both fighters deserves to be given credit.

Note: Eubank Junior has also beaten fighters such as James Degale, Arthur Abraham, Spike O'Sullivan, Avni Yildirim, Liam Williams, and Liam Smith 'All of those fighters came to win, Eubank Junior has beaten 3 former World Champions, and fought a total of 5 World Champions. And he has also overcame one of the biggest challenges in a fighter's career? Which is to avenge a loss against a fighter, who has inflicted a traumatic loss upon their career'.

Eddie Hearn being the great boxing promoter and match maker that he is 'Has tried his best to manufactured this fight, into a win for Conor Benn. That is why there is a rehydration clause, if? You are a fighter with the attitude of Conor Benn. Which is a fighter who portrays an image, that he is a tough guy both inside the boxing ring and outside the boxing ring. Then that level of a fighter, should not be challenging fighters then tactically imposing a competitive mandate which is going to put them at a potential disadvantage'.

It is a completely unnecessary stipulation 'I understand that it is just Eddie Hearn doing his best work for Conor Benn. But? As a up and coming fighter, surely Benn and his boxing team must be aware. That being involved in real fights, where there are no manufactured conditions to increase the likely-hood of him winning. Those type of fights are very important for his development as a fighter'.

To conclude: Overall I still think the fight is very intriguing, thus-far the first press conference and theme to the fight is entertaining. The dynamic between all the characters involved 'For sure both fighters want to win. But Chris Eubank Junior has to win, that is the difference'.

I don't think the hostility between the fighters is manufactured 'The fight deal which Eubank Junior had to adhere to last time, was terrible. The 157 pound weight limit, combined with the 5 pound rehydration clause. Chris Eubank Junior could weigh no more than 162 pounds on fight night'.

This current fight deal is a bit more reasonable and fair in a sporting sense 'But it is still unnecessary'. I suppose that adds to the sporting spectacle and level of jeopardy in the fight. You have one fighter in Conor Benn moving up two weight classes, and you have another fighter in Chris Eubank Junior training and preparing under a unnecessary rehydration clause. If Eubank Junior can make the weight solid, then I will back him to win. But if he struggles, this will give Benn his opportunity to seize a slightly manufactured win' etc.

Eubank Jr isnt even the bad guy in this though. Conor is even more of a prick than him.


Lol @ the usual crowd crying about this fight though. Partly because its UK fighters and partly because its Hearn promoting. Boxing is the only combat sport where the fanbase is so fanboyish and tribalistic (towards both fighters and even more hilariously promoters) that they will whine about fights getting attention and doing good business. God forbid a big night of boxing is happening in a packed stadium, we wouldnt want that would we?
