I think Eubank shaded it, particularly the latter rounds but that margin is silly. Good fight though, enjoyable

Good scrap.
Better than the Jake Paul shite

Correct winner and pretty fair scorecards too I felt.

Some of the round were pretty close but I thought Eubank was consistently doing the better work.

Delighted he beat the drugs cheat.

Thought the same.

The rounds looked close but Eubank was getting the bigger hits in.

Fair play to both boxers for giving us such a brilliant fight. Eubank deserves praise for fighting outside his comfort zone and not only matching but outboxing Benn in the brawl he wanted.

Only caught the last 4 rounds as the fuckers started before I was ready, but glad I got the last 4 rounds. As good as their fathers fights back in the day, and they were bloody good. IIRC Eubank was a virtual unknown and seen as a warm up fight for Benn when they fought the first time. Always loved Chris. He played the smart game getting fans to hate him, but when the bell went there was NONE tougher.

A real life Rocky Balboa. Even his later fights when he moved up to light heavy were thrilling.

Hell no! Eubank was a great prospect and unbeaten in 24. Benn had lost 1 fight to Michael Watson. They were huge rivals when they fought the first time and although Benn was favourite, Eubank was considered to have a great chance. There was a huge build up to this fight.

Boxing went out the window and it just became a battle of wills and sheer bravery. Fantastic fight but no way did Eubank win that by four rounds.

As the smaller man stepping up two weight divisions Benn lost absolutely nothing in defeat, in fact I think it will further enhance his reputation.

I'd have been happy with a drawn result but Eubank probably edged it by one round.
