Promoter Eddie Hearn was in the damage control, and called his warrior Conor Benn’s size disadvantage after his loss of Chris Eubank Jr. Last Saturday at the middleweight. Hearn made Benn (23-1, 14 COs) so, the primary reason why he was beaten.
Hearn said that if there is a rematch, eubank jr. (35-3, 25 COs) in weight must descend. However, the repetition conditions have already been written in the contract. He talks about this another strategy to save and retain Benn’s reputation where it was before his loss.
Seller Hearn
“His excellence has already announced at Spurs in September. We have an agreement for the second battle. We need to think about it”Eddie Hearn says Sky Sports BoxingThat he is not sure that he wants Conor Benn to re -broadcast with Chris Eubank Jr. After losing against him last Saturday night.
Hearn sounds like he has a better deal for Benn in the re -broadcast with Eubank Jr. Seller Tactics 101Try to get a better agreement for Conor. At the press conference after the fight last Saturday, Hearn said Eubank Jr. Must get in weight for the re -broadcast with Benn. It wasn’t enough that eubank jr. Completely drained looked like to make the 160 pound limit and then the 10-pound rehydration clause to stay within the 170 pound limit.
“Conor says,” I want to take revenge, “and it’s the biggest struggle. It’s big, but you don’t want too many fights, ‘says Hearn. ‘We give away benefits here at 160. He comes up two divisions. No one said, “Is it safe for Conor? “No, everyone was worried about Eubank,” Hearn continued.
Eubank jr. Is the one who struggles to make 160 at his age. He is not exactly a spring chicken at 35, and it is clear that he is too old to fight on the middleweight. He must move to 168.
Ignore eubank
“Eubank was good. He confused the weight because he was unprofessional,” Hearn said. “The hydration was good for him, and he went in 12 hard rounds tonight. Don’t worry about him. I’m worried about my husbandAnd I know that Conor Benn can conquer world titles in divisions below 160.
“He can sell out any arena in the country. He is not only one of the biggest goat stars in Britain, but also one of the biggest sports stars in Britain. The story and everything. So he has a long career ahead of him, but I also understand the British public and I know they want to see #2, ‘says Hearn.
Notice the attitude of Hearn? He does not think that eubank jr. Halfway to the weigh -in look, drain himself to a skeleton and then struggles to beat a mediocre welter weight he would have dominated if he was 100% full strength.
I don’t buy this piece from Hearn that Benn is able to win “World Titles in Divisions Among below 160.” If he really believed that Conor would have fought for world titles at 147 and 154. The reality is, if Hearn is stuck with the Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Brian Norman Jr., or Bakhram Murtazaliev, they would blow him out of the water, and the gout would be up. Benn would not have an excuse to lose to them as against the middleweight eubank jr.
