The actual picture?

Hearn did not say what kind of “hero” is Benn or how he will keep his career in fleet after losing resale with Eubank Jr. He spoke of Conor Winning world titles in 147 and 154 at the post-lluit press conference, but he had a brief thing about the details of who would fight to capture these belts.

This type of suggestion you don’t think you can win. If I were Benn’s promoter, he would acknowledge that he will be just as bad for him in revenge with Ebank JR, but probably worse. Conor was beaten on the 11th and 12th last Saturday.

The interior game of Ebank JR and the big fist bump not by Benn. In a resale, the beating could start faster because Eubank Jr. It would immediately carry the struggle inward and beat Benn, potentially eliminating it.

NIGE (Benn), it could be better than you, Company,” said Hearn, continuing on board with his ultra glass of Conor Benn, saying that he could be better than his legendary father, Nigel Benn. “It was exactly the same. You with trouble, just bollocks.”
