You could ask what’s the relevance any weight division limit. Fighters normally rehydrate 10 to 20lbs after a weighin.

Relevance for this t fight is to weight drain Chris Eubank jr. 157lb. Who struggles to make 160lbs as it is. And then make it hard for him to fully rehydrate the following day. By setting a limit of 162lbs.

The standard rehydration clauses normally be 10lbs . This 5lbs limit makes things a lot tougher it means Eubank can’t fully re-hydrate right after the fight and will have stay dehydrated until the second weighin the following morning.

And for the record Conor Benin’s walk around weight is 168lb’s.

Anyway if Eubank jr gets whooped cus of this then there is no excuses. He agreed to this and signed the contract.

I don't understand why Eubank even took this fight. Beating Benn means nothing, and the weight-draining thing is just shyte piled on top of a nothing sandwich.

It's not a title fight, so Eubank should just miss the weight on purpose, and pay whatever the penalty is. What are they gonna' do, cancel the fight?

There is a clause in the contract according to Benns Coach Tony Simms. The financial penalty only applies to the first 1.5 lbs. If Eubanks weighs more the 158.5lbs, the fight will be cancelled same applies I presume for the next day re-hydration weigh in.

Eubank jr seems to have the same smugness about him that Oscar De Lahoya had when he agreed to fight Pacquaio at 145lbs, He looked like a ghost of himself.

Eubanks jr has taken the fight for the huge pay check biggest payday of his career this will be a very big fight in the U.K. ...And he was in the U.K. Tabloids this week saying he wants to fight Jake Paul.

Eubank is unlikely to get this kind of money fighting for a title, and even less likely to beat the likes of Charlo or Andrade.

I think he is cashing out he is not getting any younger...If he beats Benn. He will be chasing the Youtubers.

That's some pretty emotional stuff on the part of Ubank Snr.

IFL are reporting it's off but I haven't seen any confirmation.

I think Junior could hit the jackpot here if he wins. Kell Brook might be tempted back to fight the winner of Eubank vs Benn. And Liam Smith,and BJ Saunders are also keen to fight him. So back to back paychecks.

Kell Brook has been training.

As for Conor Benn he reminds me of a young James Kirkland.

Not sure how he well he holds a shot. But if he can handle Juniors power for a few rounds. The fight should be exciting. While it lasts.

Pretty poor of Hearn that this is also PPV. Not only have they gone back on the 'no PPV on DAZN' thing, but now they're setting the same old Sky threshold. I won't pay £10 for what to me is a stupid fight to make. Eubank continuing his total lack of ambition is a bit sad, frankly. This is a siding when it comes to a title run. He called out Alvarez for a title fight after the weekend, but this is hardly the sort of fight to take if he's serious about that. I'll read the result late that night.

 

[Gareth]

I guess they have succeeded in having people talk about this fight. Even if it hasn't been for positive reasons.

 

[Dynamito]

Part one of the training camps documentary is now up. It is an interesting watch.

Obviously no where near the slick production quality of Show Time all access or HBO 24/7.

The low budget aspect of it adds to its charm makes it kinda of quirky and very British.

Sort of like one of them Louis Theroux documentaries.

Woke this morning to see Eubank sr trending. Having failed to get the fight cancelled , he has now called on fans to boycott his sons fight with Conor Benn saying the catch weight is dangerous his son might suffer serious and fatal injuries.

I hope Junior. does not pursuade his dad to be in the for Conor Benn fight.
Chris Senior is crazy enough to throw In the towel in the first round.

Yep...This fight would have been huge if it was on Sky Sports here in the U.K. they would have hyped things to the max. It would have been in the news cycle non stop.

DAZN don’t seem to have spent much money marketing this fight just left it to EDDIE. As it stands don’t think it’s going to do as well as it would have on SKY Sports.

I thought this fight would generate more hype then Khan vs Brook does’nt seem like it has.

Read Chris Eubank Sr has been admitted into the Langford Mental Health Hospital, East Sussex.

Assuming it is true, I sure hope he is okay.

According to the above article he discharged himself from the Hospital after one nights stay. Saying he wanted to attend his sons fight.

And the scans show he was prescribed Vitamin D. Not sure what to make of it patients who need to be sectioned are normally prescribed anti-depressants or anti-psychotics.

In any case hope he mentally recovers this fight clearly has him spooked. And if he does attend the fight there is a high likelihood he might try to sabotage the fight. Either throw in the towel or enter the ring resulting in a disqualification loss for his son.

He seems convinced his son is in fatal danger.

Older members will remember the trainer Darkey Smith rushing the ring and shoving the referee resulting in the DQ loss for his son Stephen Smith vs Ricky Hatton.
That event effectively ended his sons career.

Looks like we are going to get some controversy this weekend.

Will be interesting to see how many PPVs this sells. Sounds like they have sold all the seats.

Outside of their surnames this is really a nothing fight. They are from different weight divisions and any beef between the pair sounds very manufactured. There is also no title or pathway on offer for the winner here.
