Thread: Eubank Benn III

Chris Eubank hints at third fight with old rival Nigel Benn | Boxing News | Sky Sports

think about this?

just like hollywood, everyone has ran out of ideas so they just keep rebooting old films

Stupid and silly. The old man needs to just stay behind his son and stay out of the limelight.

2005 was declared bankrupt not paying £1.3 miilion to tax man.

Junior is faster and fitter than his dad but not a harder puncher and probably not as good chin.

If they can be cleared to fight and they need money/people will watch it, whatever. It has nothing to do with the sport of boxing and proves nothing obviously. They definitely did leave things unfinished though, haven't watched it in ages but I feel like Benn outfought him and won the rematch.

I would quite like to see them fight again there obviously old and fucked and there both around the same age, not as if there wanting to fight young fighters. It's just a one off, bring it on I say

Yeah, give em big gloves. Shorten the rounds. Whatever, let them.

Both are probably fitter than some current journeymen and would both pass medicals unless there are some underlying brain injuries that may show up in a scan.

They can always go the Danny Williams route and get Latvian licences

Its funny the concern for both when we have a currently active Bernard Hopkins whos older than Eubank looking to fight Golovkin!!

At least Benn and Eubank are on the same page. Long time out, similar age and both kept in shape.

We have a welterweight fighting the guy who beat the "lineal" middleweight champ who was not a middleweight and now talks about going back to welterweight. These two must be rolling over watching what's become of it. If they want to do a hometown flashback or some charity exhibition slash rivalry let em make it.

Benn vs Khan. Make it happen!

never understood why a third fight didn't happen after the draw

never made sense

The reason why there was no 3rd fight was mainly because they had different promoters, channels and the public was not as interested as the rematch was not that exciting and would not wait 3 years for another fight.

Hearn said if Benn had stayed with him then he would have made Benn v Eubank one of his first ppv fights.

Benn won the rematch

The point deduction cost Benn the decision against Eubank. Benn’s defence was better in the rematch particularly head movement which helped him be more successful. Eubank was over confident and thought that his size and Benn chin would mean he would win. Eubanks had 28 hours from weigh in to the fight with Benn 2 to put weight back on which was a big advantage for him.

Yes but back then it was not.

Cant understand why they don't let it go! (in the words of the song that my granddaughter sings endlessly)

I think this is embarrassing for both Connor and Chris junior, they should tell their dads to fucking grow up and butt out. Its worse than football dads at the local boys game.
