Hearn added that they should think about whether he was re -broadcast with eubank jr.
Eubank jr. Benn beat Benn on Saturday night with a unanimous 12-round decision in their main fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Benn started well, but folded when eubank jr. His size, pressure and volume began to impose on him.
The scores
116-112
116-112
116-112
Conor did not have the offensive or defense skills to be attacked the entire four rounds, eight to twelve, relentlessly, was a pure route in Eubank Jr.’s favor.
Smart chance?
The chances of Hearn Chris jr. Draining beyond 160 is slim and none. He’s not going to do it unless Turki Alalashikh offers him a large amount of money, but why would he?
As Hearn, Benn feels disabilities to eubank jr.
Hearn did not say how far below the 160 -pound middleweight limit he eubank jr. (35-3, 25 COs) don’t want. He probably wants him to go as low as possible to give Benn (23-1, 14 COs) an extra disability to go with the 10 pound rehydration clause.
“For me, the danger was not for Chris Eubank Jr. it was for Conor Benn,” promoter Eddie Hearn said at the Press conference after battle After Conor Benn’s loss of Chris Eubank Jr. Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
“That’s why we have to think very carefully about the re -broadcast, because I don’t want to see him (Benn) in too many battles. These are the kind of battles that will shorten your career, and he has such a long career before him.
‘So the conditions have already been agreed to the re -broadcast, and it is the same as the first contract. Yes, I think junior should come down a little lower Rather than Benn arriving two weight classes, ”Hearn said when asked if he would consider dropping the 10-pound rehydration clause for the rematch.
Benn’s level
It is doubtful whether Benn has a career outside his domestic family fight against Eubank JR, because he does not have the talent to beat the top fighters at 147. It will get worse for him if he moved up to 154 or 160 against the real world-class opposition.
The only reason why tonight’s struggle was near is that Eubank Jr. 35, and is no longer close to his best. He was also drained weight. The biggest reason it was near is that Eubank Jr. At 160 is not under the elite. If Hearn Conor Benn matched any of these middle weights, he would have been destroyed tonight:
– janibek alimkhnuly
– Carlos Adames
– Erislandy Lara
– Yoenli Hernandez
– Troy Isley
– Denzel Bentley
