What a weird father-son relationship they have.

What channel is that? Sounds interesting?
I stumbled across it the other day. It was actually the walkthrough he does of the first Benn fight. It was pretty good to be fair. I can't say I warmed to him at the time of his boxing career but he's certainly a character and there aren't too many of those in top level sport.
Watched some of today's presser.
They certainly are building this one up into a spiteful contest. For the record I never liked Eubank Jnr. I think he's stolen a living in the sport and largely off his father's name but he sure knows how to play the heel. I'm afraid to admit my primal instincts are challenging my moral indignation and I'm being sucked into the narrative.
I hope Benn smashes him to smithereens.

you want a drug cheat to win?
It's not for me to decide if he's a drug cheat. There are authorities who have decided he is not and AFAIK the BBC is sanctioning the fight. He's been cleared by the NADA.
he effectively served his ban he's a scumbag

Depends which version you want to believe
He’s still a scum bag drugs cheat to use your words, though right ?No. He took off 2 years for mental health reasons and then tried to get the boar meat farmer to lie.
I'm all for giving fighters second chances if they just admit what they did, hold their hands up and serve the ban.
Canelo got caught but he was able to clear his name by providing a hair sample. Benn never did that he just said he was innocent and we should trust him.
I can't stress how little I care about this fight but I hope Eubank wins.

I don't think there are 2 British fighters out there I have less time for than Eubank Jr and Benn!
As I've said before Eubank Jr has been fighting for almost 14 years, 37 fights and has never held a proper world title belt. In fact has only even fought for one once (against Groves) and lost. The guy has made a whole career out of chatting **** and avoiding taking proper fights. Supposedly the winner of this fights Canelo, l'll believe it when I see it.
Benn hasn't done anything since he got off the extreme omelette diet and is going up 2 weight classes. Not a chance he does anything in this fight this is just the cash out.

It is a huge cash out yeah and neither has any elite boxing ability. However, Eubank does call out Hearn, and has done for a while now, so he provides some value at least. Hearn is no match for Eubank, it's great to see him put down a peg or two

Yep it's all a load of ****** really.
Stupid fans will pay hand over fist. Hence the random egg thing.
It's embarrassing really. Pays the bills though.
