Not for me. I only had Benn winning the 2nd and 3rd and then 9th or 10th, I can't remember. There was then a couple of close rounds but the rest Eubank won comfortably.
 
Didn't think eubank won it easily he was on the edge , he was like one punch away getting knocked he got rocked a few times , eubank got it back the last round

I thought it was pretty close too, certainly not the judges majority but I still thought Eubank nudged it, but who am I to judge :D

As said to my brother-in-law, during the fight (ex boxer)

Eubank was too big. Which proved to be the case.

It's stating the bleeding obvious and pretty much what most people's head said. Only the weight making put much doubt into it. Benn did well but ultimately he lacks skill, and the power didn't transfer to 160lbs. I'd rather see what he can do back at Welterweight than watch the rematch. Eubank, I don't like but respect to him. I hope he uses this as a platform to make a decent fight at a world level. the biggest problem for him is that the middleweight division is weak as anything right now and there isn't really an eye catching fight to be made.

Decent entertainment in the headline event, undercard pretty ropey aside from the Smith/McKenna fight.
 
Both gave it their all, value for money. I didn't think Eubank won by 4 rounds, but thought he won. Connor Benn surprised me, and seemed to hit with harder shots, he should drop back down and get his career back on track at welterweight.

I hope Eubank Jnr is okay, read he's been taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw? We shall see in the morning.

Edit: Al-Sheikh on about the winner potentially facing Canelo Álvarez, give me a break, Canelo would render Eubank Jnr unconsious let alone Connor Benn who just isn't made for middleweight, neither have got a good enough defense anyway.

I was a naysayer of this event and decided not to watch it but it seems I am the one with egg on my face today as by all accounts I missed a great scrap

How was the undercard?

Still a nothing fight really, fabricated rivalry etc.

Having said that, I respect anyone who puts their health on the line in the fight game and I don't begrudge them at all for making money from their surnames etc, if people will pay to watch then why not? However, I just couldn't get excited for it, scrap or no scrap. I will simply watch it at a later date.
