The Blood Feud of Britain

Britain's most famous blood feud resumes this Saturday from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Chris Eubank Jr. faces Conor Benn. It figures to be an entertaining scrap, and there has certainly been a good deal of animosity between the two (especially with the egg slap heard 'round the world). But...

$500k for .05lb that’s never happened in boxing history and that has to attract a lot of smart money to Benn. How bone dry one has to be for it to get to that point is crazy. And they have the rehydration clause… I wouldn’t be surprised if Eubank backs out today. I’m picking the much smaller Benn
 
Just saw Eubank was supposedly .5 lb under in his own scale and over on the official scale. Strange when those scales are usually carefully calibrated

Proud Fathers, Indeed

Coming into this contest this past weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium there was some skepticism over the match-up between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn. Their fathers waged a very uncivil war twice in the 90's. That there was an authentic rivalry. This here was to the most cynical...

I knew Ryan wasn't much of a "boxer" but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Don't think he threw not one combination.

Teofimo was the only elite talent on that card and it showed! He would sleep Garcia and Haney in the same night in spite of the fact that his dad is a HORRIBLE trainer. I’m also pretty sure his dad was drunk last night while working his corner. Teo is just that talented

And, Teo’s dad is still better than Bill Haney!!!

How is it that everyone fails to give any context to Teofimo's loss to Kambosos? "it still surprises me that he loss to Kambosos" is spoken every time he fights, but they don't mention what he dealt with. The fight had been delayed prior because of Covid and then this happened...

Doc: Lopez 'lucky he's not dead' after Kambosos

Teofimo Lopez is "lucky he's not dead," according to one doctor, and he fought George Kambosos "like his neck and chest were in a vise," according to another doctor.

It’s over for Ryan. Hopefully he doesn’t crash out and resort back to old behavior as a result.
