“SuperStar” Benn
Despite winning a unanimous decision of 12 round, Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 coes) sustained a lot of facial damage. There are reports that he had a broken jaw in the fight.
Given how swollen his jaw looked after it, it was believed that he had sustained that injury. He won 116-112, 116-112 and 116-112 with the scores. Hearn believes the scores are too wide, but he admits that Eubank Jr. Probably done enough to win.
The performance of Benn (23-1, 14 COs) had Hearn Teyy-eye while being questioned. He says Conor is now a ‘Superstar.’ He might jump a little with the gun because he lost, and there are many better fighters at 160 than Eubank Jr. It could have made it a mismatch tonight.
Hearn says Benn can win world titles at 147 and 154. He presumably talks about Benn who may have beat the WBC Welterweight Champion Mario Barrios and WBC and WBO 154 lb Champ Sebastian Fundora. These are the only two Conor would have any chance.
Eubank admitted to hospital
“Chris Eubank Jr. is now in the hospital. The media says he has a broken jaw. I don’t know if that’s the case. We don’t want too many fights,” the promoter Eddie Hearn said ifl tv About the fact that he does not want his fighter, Conor Benn, to be worn in additional wars like the one we are between him and Chris Eubank Jr. tonight.
Benn has eubank jr. With a few massive shots hit early in the fight before finding out how to neutralize his power. It is understandable why he sustained a facial injury.
What Hearn omits is that Benn also climbed up. His face was very swollen. It comes from the many stems with which Eubank Jr. Beat him. He landed 367 of 912 total push for a 40.24% connection rate.
“In the 11th and 12th, when he had nothing left in the tank, he never stopped trying,” says Hearn, who was close to tears and talking about Benn.
Conor tried, but he hit badly in both rounds. To show what the exhausted Benn have to do with. Eubank jr. Throw 109 blows in round 11 and 122 In round 12, it is an insane number for a middleweight to throw, especially late in a fight.
You can understand why Hearn may have a few concerns about the send of Conor to fight against this man again, because it will probably be just as bad in the re -broadcast. Hearn, of course, wants to continue to fit Benn in big battles for as long as possible, because he is a money maker in British box.
Benn’s appeal
Granted, he’s not talented enough to beat the top welter weights like Jaron Ennis or Junior Middle weights like Bakhram Murtazaliev. He can defeat certain guys if he matches appropriately. What we saw tonight is that Benn can’t beat Eubank Jr., and it won’t be different in the rematch.
‘Conor Benn is now a young man who is a superstar in British box, even worldwide. My phone is blowing from America. So many people have watched, ‘This child is unreal. “He can go to any arena in the country at 147, and he can win world titles at 147 and 154. We have to get it right.
“Tonight he changed his life financially. He is good for life. Of course, this is always important. He wants the re -broadcast. His excellence (Turki Alalshikh) wants the re -broadcast. They even announced the date, back in Spurs in September. So, it is very likely that this can happen too.
