Going right into a battle card/battle night time, it truly is up for grabs on the subject of what we’re going to get. Have a look at final night time’s five-fight card at Tottenham, topped in fact by the hyped (and it delivered) grudge match between Chris Eubank Junior and Conor Benn. Fairly amazingly, all 5 fights went the space, the total 12 rounds. No person would have predicted that stepping into, certainly.
However we did certainly get 60 rounds of boxing final night time, a few of these rounds proving to be very, very particular.
In a recap, final nights outcomes had been as follows:
Chris Billam-Smith W12 Brandon GlantonViddal Riley W12 Cheavan ClarkeAaron McKenna W12 Liam SmithAnthony Yarde W12 Lyndon ArthurChris Eubank Junior W12 Conor Benn.
In whole, we acquired only one solitary knockdown final night time, this when “breakthrough star” McKenna of Eire dropped Smith within the twelfth and ultimate spherical of their battle, this with a left hand to the physique. However no person was left disenchanted by the motion final night time. Removed from it. After all of the hype, after all of the ready, certainly, after all of the naysaying, Eubank Vs Benn “The Subsequent Gen” delivered in spades. Already being referred to as a modern-day traditional, and The Combat of the 12 months, and the best non-title battle ever seen in a British ring, Eubank’s gruelling, bloody, at occasions really mesmerising battle together with his fellow Brit proved to be an actual advert for all that’s nice about this sport.
And although so many consultants, followers, and fellow fighters said stepping into that no approach would the 2 sons of British boxing royalty have the ability to give us something just like the type of very good motion and drama the 2 fathers did again within the Nineties, properly, guess what – final night time’s epic was a higher, way more thrilling battle than the second battle Benn and Eubank had, this in October of 1993. Now, who would have dared counsel that may be the case stepping into?
Now, with a lot speak of a rematch, followers are questioning if a Benn will ever have the ability to rating a win over a Eubank contained in the boxing ring. By way of household legacy, Eubank and Benn at the moment are 2-0-1; two wins for the Eubanks, a draw for the Benns.
May Conor Benn have the ability to avenge his loss in a return? Or will Eubank inflict one other defeat on the Benn household title in the event that they do battle once more?
All in all, it was a particular night time final night time in London. An unexpectedly nice night time of boxing that proved to be filled with surprises.
