BIG weight difference here.

It may be a circus act, but it is intriguing how it goes.

If Eubank Jr is dead at the weight then we have a problem here. I've nothing against Benn personally - in fact I quite liked the kid when he was coming through on Sky years ago - but the only 'just' outcome of this whole circus is Eubank Jr winning. The way Benn and Hearn handled the two failed drugs tests should not be rewarded with a £10m payday and victory in a domestic super fight. They'll be insufferable. C'mon Chris, we can't let the cheats win. I'm just worried Eubank Jr may not be able to hold a shot at the weight anymore. If the Eubank Jr who fought Liam Smith the first time turns up, weight drained and fragile, then he's one big shot away from disaster. If he comes in like he did in the second fight, he'll beat Conor as easily as he beat Smith that night, but I'm definitely worried. I say all of this and I'm even a particular Chris Eubank Jr fan - although I do think he's carried himself well this week and said all of the right things, especially his 'What is pain?' monologue - I just want to see the right outcome. He just needs to go out and there and win now. The weight was a big slip-up and a very costly one for him, but only he will know if he's done the weight properly or not. I hope he has and he's fit and strong tonight when he steps in the ring. I wasn't massively bothered about this fight when it was meant to happen two years ago and I grew completely sick and tired of the endless news stories about the ongoing Benn drugs saga (and even now, I'll be the first to admit that this fight means almost nothing on a global scale and equally nothing to their respective weight divisions) but boxing has this way of drawing you in and getting you excited despite yourself, and yeah, I'm ready for tonight now. I know there's a contractual rematch so tonight won't be the end, but it might well be if tonight's fight is conclusive enough that there's no need for another fight. In the worlds of the great Michael Buffer, let's get ready to rumble.

Eubank is a 35 year old who's lost his love for boxing and prefers to watch MMA then boxing , dude is getting knocked out regardless , if Ur at that age and still boxing and don't love U, there's 0 chance even near world level

He doesn’t have to luv self just hate the MF’er across the ring is all that matters plus he’s fought heavier and on a higher level than Benn, much higher too! Take that to the bank regardless!
