It’s worth it for the hype even though Jr should murder Benn.
Their dads were part of the best domestic rivalry in UK boxing history in the 90s - genuine hatred.
But Jr is a Middleweight with a better calibre of opponents and a 75% KO rate vs Benn who’s a natural welterweight with a lower KO ratio and less experience….
yeah it’s a silly match. recreating a rivalry from the 90s… among those rivalries a fighter received a life changing brain injury.
and here we are with a KO artist boiling down dangerously low, to face a feather-fisted smaller fighter (by comparison).
if junior doesn’t collapse in the fucking sauna, Eggy Benn is going to get his head bashed. it will be an ugly, ill-advised spectacle which is unlikely to meet half the intrigue of their dads’ fight.
Silly fight. Don’t really care too much about either fighter.
Everything is Eubanks favour aside from Benn maybe coming into his prime and Eubank might be past his.
Then you have the fact that the guy who has fought no one just failed a test too.
Fuck this nonsens. Obviously I’ll watch it though lol.

I used to be a big Eubank fan but then I heard about the guy he killed when he drove his car onto a building site.
Seen him cry and shit about what happened to Watson (someone who was paid to be there and knew the dangers) but never heard a peep about the poor cunt that went to do a days work on a building site and got run over by him.
Was it on accident or premeditated
An accident as far as I know. I’ve never heard too much info about it, I gather he wasn’t drunk or anything but it seems a strange one.
I did’t even know of this! Must had only been reported on briefly!
Yeah it’s a weird one, I only heard about it very recently. They really kept it out of the news somehow.
In 1992, British boxer Chris Eubank was involved in a fatal car crash that killed Kevin Lawlor, a 33-year-old road worker. Eubank was driving his Range Rover on the A23 London-Brighton road when it left the road and hit a building site. Eubank was fined and given six points on his license for driving without due care and attention.
What happened?
- Eubank was driving to Gatwick Airport to catch a flight to Jamaica.
- He was driving within the speed limit, but said he lost control of the vehicle.
- He said the car skidded on pebbles or grit, and he touched the brakes, which caused the car to swerve.
- He said he saw Lawlor, but couldn’t do anything.
What was the outcome?
- Eubank was fined ÂŁ250 and ordered to pay ÂŁ1,450 in costs.
- His license was also endorsed with six points.
I’m not even mad about the crime, sounds like an accident. It’s just all the crying and shit about Watson when he has straight up killed another dude.
My brother went to the same school as him and said he was a bit of a cunt too. 
I remember it being on the news back then. We just didn’t have 6 channels of 24hr news and the internet back then.
