“We have to think about it”: the tactics of Eddie Hearn’s sellers emerge while he minimizes the loss of Conor Benn and seeks better terms for revenge Chris Eubank Jr.

The promoter Eddie Hearn was in damage control mode, mentioning the drawback of the size of his fighter Conor Benn after his defeat against Chris Eubank Jr. in Middleweight last Saturday. Hearn made Benn (23-1, 14 ko) as it was the main reason why he had been beaten.

Hearn said that if there was a revenge match, Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KB) should be in weight. However, the conditions of revenge have already been written in the contract. He talks about it on this subject is another strategy to save and keep Benn’s reputation where she was before her loss.

Salesman Hearn

“His excellence has already announced September to Spurs. We have an agreement for this second fight. We have to think about itSaid Eddie Hearn to Sky Sports BoxingAbout him not to be sure he wants Conor Benn to take the revenge match with Chris Eubank Jr. after losing against him last Saturday evening.

Hearn seems that he is trying to get a better deal for Benn in the revenge match with Eubank Jr. Salesman Tactics 101Trying to search a better deal for Conor. At the press conference after the fight last Saturday, Hearn said that Eubank Jr. is expected to gain weight for the revenge match with Benn. It was not enough that Eubank Jr. looked completely drained by trying to make the limit of 160 lb, then the rehydration clause of 10 lb to stay within the limit of 170 lb.

“Conor says:” I want to take revenge “, and it’s the biggest fight. It’s massive, but you don’t want too many fights like that,” said Hearn. “We move the advantages here at 160. It comes from two divisions. No one said before the fight: “Is it sure for Conor? No, everyone was worried about Eubank, “said Hearn.

Eubank Jr. is the one who has trouble doing 160 at his age. It is not exactly a spring chicken at 35, and it is obvious that it is too old to fight with average weight. He had to go to 168.

Ignore Eubank

“Eubank was fine. He spoiled the weight because he was not professional,” said Hearn. “Hydration was good for him, and he made 12 hard rounds in there this evening. Don’t worry about him. I worry about my manAnd I know that Conor Benn can win global titles in divisions less than 160.

“He can sell any arena in the country. He is not only one of the biggest boxing stars in Great Britain, but also one of the biggest sports stars in Great Britain. History and everything. So he has a long career in front of him, but I also understand the British public and I know they will want to see # 2,” said Hearn.

Notice Hearn’s attitude? He does not think of Eubank Jr. in search of the weighing, draining himself in a skeleton, then having trouble beating a mediocre weighing weight which he would have dominated if he had been 100% full force.

I do not buy this bit from Hearn that Benn is able to win “world titles in divisions less than 160”. If he really believed that, Conor would have already fought for world titles at 147 and 154. The reality is that if Hearn stuck it with tastes of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Brian Norman Jr., or Bakhram Murtazaliev, they blow it out of the water, and the Jig would be in place. Benn would have no excuse for losing them as he did against Eubank Jr.
