Chris EUBANK JR. VS. Conor Benn RAMATCH: Fans slam “Commercial stunt with meaning on September 20

The announced meeting announced yesterday between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, scheduled for September 20, arouses the criticisms of the fans, who see no interest in these two career sub-performants who are fighting a second time.

Money on meaning?

Fans strike the fight for lack of meaning. EUBANK JR-BENN 2 will have no title at stake, and it will not be an eliminator for a belt. This reduces the fight to be simply on money for these two. British fans will probably control the fight on DAZN PPV In high numbers, but that will not do well with us, fans, who do not note any of the fighters as relevant.

You cannot throw EUBANK JR. in the ring with world champions at the average weight and expect it to be competitive or in fact the final tour. Benn is not able to last more than five or six laps against the Weight Champion Welter WBO Brian Norman Jr. if he was ready to fight him. Conor is not a world level fighter, and Eubank Jr. These two are more combatants at the level of the United Kingdom.

Benn’s first combat punishment

Benn (23-1, 14 KB) absorbed a lot of punishment by Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KB) in his loss of decision unanimous of 12 laps on April 26. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, had doubts about a revenge match after seeing how many shots he took against Eubank Jr. in a unilateral fight.

Punch statistics unveiled

• EUBANK JR.: 367 Connected on 912 shots for 40.2%
• Benn: 215 landed 593 punches for 36.3%

Jordan slaps of mediocrity

“I thought it was a matter of money, and I didn’t like the dog and pony show that was there,” said Simon Jordan Talksport BoxingSpeaking of the fight Chris Eubank Jr. against Conor Benn earlier this year in April. “I thought it was a bad fight. We reward mediocrity. Here is a big bag of money for mediocrity, and I maintain this point of view. ”

The first and now the revenge match concerns money for Eubank Jr. and Benn. Although Turki Alashikh wishes to use the winner of this fight as an adversary for the undisputed champion of the average weights of Canelo Alvarez to fight in 2026, it would be another circus fight and a stage above a YouTuber type match.

Boxing becoming WWE

It is ridiculous that Turki leans in the level of using Benn or Eubank Jr. as an adversary for Canelo to fight, but that shows you the direction that boxing is heading. We see how things are and how they become. Boxing looks more like WWE, rather than a sport. These types of matches use children more than adults.

“From a boxing point of view, it was a bar fight, and if you like bar fights, it’s fantastic,” said Simon about the Eubank Jr.-Benn clash. “What was the theater. The media created it. Will someone the end (of the revenge match) is something different? Is Chris Eubank Jr. will lose all the impetus he had during the first fight?”
