Oh man, where to start with Conor Benn’s whole deal against Eubank Jr? It’s like, he lost, but somehow that made everybody love him more. Real life Rocky or something, right? Anyway — wait, no — let’s dive into it.
So there’s this fight, and Benn’s all in there against Eubank Jr. Now, Eubank’s like way bigger, honest truth. They fight, and seriously, who knew it would be this epic? Probably not even the promoters, but hey, surprise!
Benn, afterwards, he wasn’t out there yelling “robbery!” like folks sometimes do. Nah, he was all “Ugh, close one,” which, I mean, makes sense ’cause he really poured himself into it. Imagine putting your all into something just to come up short. Heartbreaking? Yeah, a little.
He said, and I’ve got to paraphrase here ’cause I can’t remember the exact words, but it was like: “I stayed on the ropes too long, and Eubank finished stronger.” But also, he wants to watch it back. Ha! Who wouldn’t? I’d want to see if my punches looked as powerful as they felt, at least.
Now, Benn was all like, the pre-fight trash talk didn’t really matter when the bell rang. Interesting, right? How the words just fade and it’s two people just, well, fighting. Weirdly poetic.
And a rematch? Benn’s like, let’s do it at 160, but if not, back down to 147 to chase Mario Barrios and that WBC title. Choices, choices! Personally, I’d hate choosing between spicy and boring. But he’s cool with either option. Talk about being zen or maybe just tired? I don’t know.
So he wraps it up by saying he’s game for either Barrios or Eubank again. Kind of like flipping between channels and not minding what comes on next. It’s almost refreshing, you know? Does any of this make sense? Anyway, these fighters are on a whole other level. Game on, I guess.
