Eubank vs Benn Is ON! - Shane McGuigan Breakdown

[@boxingnews__]

Who wins: Eubank or Benn? 🤔👇

[@TRUMP-2024-UK]

EUBANK

[@rickisunak]

Who knows guys, I'm intrigued as to what Benn and Sims see in Eubank Jr. that they can capitalise on. Weight drain and ability to be outboxed ? Still go for Eubank Jr. by stoppage.

[@lynne1412]

Benn.

[@gunit7685]

Eurbank don’t punch like GGG Don’t worry

[@ML-bu3lz]

@thesmithsnerd I thought hes been fighting well tbh

[@paulk1702]

Considered and specific breakdown from a man who knows more about the sport [inc making weight] than the vast majority of us.

[@rstevens7711]

Agree.

[@leafysfishing]

You think Connor knocks ugas out? Lol

[@thaskoobz]

He’s hit it on the head! DAZN needed a big fight as they’re struglling

[@jezedwards3858]

Great stuff Shane, so insightful and interesting from someone who truly knows his stuff with a great pedigree.

[@andrewellis9697]

I agree with Shane about the 'Killers' at 147 - Ennis, Spence, Crawford. Therefore, this fight is a win-win for Benn - if he loses people will say he was brave to come up and fight the bigger man. If he wins, there's the possibility of a rematch and big fights at ww, junior mw and mw. I think that Eubank is taking the fight because he wants the payday. It'll be a fight worth millions - that's what turns him on most of all. He calls out Canelo, GGG and Jake Paul cos those are the money fights. He could fight Andrade or Charlo apparently for a title at mw, but I think he loses to both and his career stumbles. Anyhow, I am really looking forward to it - and think the style differences make it potentially a fight of the year.

[@stepwil31]

I think Eubank would give Andrade a bit of a fight. Not sure he’d beat Charlo. Agree with more or less everything you say, spot on.

[@leafysfishing]

Do you think Connor knocks Ugas out? I don't

[@christopherstuckey2433]

Superbly assessed - money grab for both - Connor in the best position win or lose

[@0Shane13]

It’s not a Win-Win. If he gets knocked out his career can be ruined either physically and mentally.

[@ryanhill2724]

Benn was getting shaken by a 147 journeyman and now he’s gonna fight a middleweight great idea

CLASSIC HEARN CASHING OUT HIS FIGHTER

[@peterrfowler16]

He interviews very well to be fair

[@Browzan]

Very simple. Benn needs money, eubank loves money and a chance to take a fight without contending for a title

[@OBWanKenobi]

Benn is in huge trouble. I hope he doesn't get seriously hurt against Eubank Jr who is far superior to him in all aspects.

[@garethwilliams3048]

Let’s hope it’s not like Brook vs GGG 😬

and benns fighting style works in eubank favour. hell brawl with eubank and eubank will mark him up badly

Brilliant breakdown especially the tactical part about groves v eubank.

It's a win win for everyone It's all about the money 💰

[@one_and_only_1649]

Eddie don’t care about Benn letting him take this so early on also Benn dad should know better 😭😭😭

[@Redmen1983]

Is it a big ask.... yes, but do you watch him spar? Do we watch how he smashes people in the gym. Don't mention his dad should know better. Because me as a father my self I would tell my son the truth no matter what. In any situations

[@MuhammadAli-kv5oe]

Always a good listen Shane

[@bradleyedwards8510]

Yes Robs back !! Great interviewer

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

Eubank taking fight too lightly. Benn wants it more and is more ferocious. Eubank got spanked by a retiring groves

[@julianmorris9951]

I’m disappointed in benn, wanted to see him step up to something meaningful at 147, but like the man said, there’s killers there💀

[@jamielowe463]

Totally agree he should be taking a serious fight at his own weight class all benns done so far is fight old washed up bums no people have got tired of seeing him fight them he either had to take a real challenge at welterweight lol instead chose to take this joke fight how it’s PPv is laughable… neither fighter is worthy of PPv they’ve achieved and done nothing in there careers

[@ellissmith5520]

Eddies LACK of relationship with the PBC has put BENN in a nick Blackwell position .. stupid managerial advice for Connor ...this STINKS of Kel Brooke Vs GGG

[@luckyluciano6939]

Desperate Dan strikes again

[@Dc-uf1ln]

Shane is diplomatically saying its a mismatch

[@stevebowness9435]

Agree 💯

[@stevieboy826]

Everyone banging on about how it will damage their standing. This is a business deal with the winner potentially bagging 10 mil. When you weigh it up, they nearly all lose one day in their career, so they've just broken it down to black and white, I'm prepared to lose for 4 or 5 mil.

[@jolasisi8860]

I hate when people like Shane pretend not to know the pbc won’t give benn any of those names

[@boxmove1888]

So you fight a guy at a catch weight pulling him down in weight. Then you set a hydration clause so he can't hydrate properly. Then you beat him,what dose that actually mean? Because if Benn dose win,it means he didn't beat the best version of eubank he beat a weight drained version.if you wanna fight the man go to his weight and fight him.

[@thomasshirley1743]

He would be ironed out by Ennis spence and Crawford. If Thurman was 100%he would beat benn as well

[@xxx-nb3fq]

It was the hardest fight for George, was literally, fucke up...injured...after fight.

[@staytrue5307]

Eubank stops him within 6

[@bshea0824]

Benn stops Ugas ?! I don’t think so

[@Pugilist928]

Eubank is at his most dangerous when he is being pressured. He struggles when he has to come forward and chase. If Benn tries to just walk Eubank down he is getting destroyed.

So where did boxing social go.As I thought that was your channel

[@duncansmith8992]

Excellent breakdown by Shane. Benn could win…but I suspect Chris’s chin and strength..and his fighting abilities and skill, will be a bit too much for Conor. I support and really admire both,by the way. Although I think Chris is much more amusing and his mind games are far superior to Conor’s. Just like their respective fathers. I was Nigel’s No 1 fan though.

[@gavaniacono]

This was great insight about how George beat Eubank.

[@rstevens7711]

Agree with you, Gavan. It's very rare you hear this type of analysis. And when you consider how many pundits, experts, analysts had their say on this fight, and didn't mention anything that Shane has said, you wonder about the value of having all the 'experts' on the broadcasts.

The casual fan doesn't care about belts or boxing politics. The fights with a story or some needle or score to settle generate our interest. Belts and rankings are too scripted and the fans are tired of it.

Silly unnecessary fight purely put on to drive DAZN subscribers in the uk and nothing more. Personally I'd have liked him to fight mean machine who you could get and would be a great learning fight, or buteav.

[@soulstart89]

I agree. I’m rather disappointed in both fighters tbh.

[@Joseph._odk]

Butaev is too risky and no reward

[@soulstart89]

@@Joseph._odk I get you but here is my stance. I think benn is a really good prospect. Really do. I question some of his opponents. In the 147 division you have some real good boxers. Fighting boxers in and around his age will prepare him for when he has to face the top fighters after bud and Spence leave. For me it’s all good building your profile but will the likes of Algieri, van heerden and Eubanks jr at catch weight really help you to level up. Boots and Ortiz are way ahead in every aspect. They young also. I get he doesn’t have experience but I just don’t want him to reach the big fight and not be prepared. This Eubanks fight doesn’t help him in anyway shape or form.

Benns profile isn't big enough for a Ugas, Garcia fight, I think Hearn see's the profile factor in this fight also, remember hearn has lots of beefs with Promoters so Thurman wasn't interested etc, so From Eddie's point of view he needs to build Conor quick to Generate the Coin for the Garcia, ugas, Thurman fights

[@treyakasprings]

I’ve got say anyone who knows their boxing has to agree with this

[@philiusgranger919]

Benn may well come into this fight with a speedy movement game plan. Jab Jab run, jab jab run game plan, how about this tactic? this would throw the cat among the pigeons would it not? frustrate the bigger man for 8 or 9 rounds, jab jab run jab move, move left, move right, Eubank is ponderous, a moving target has always been a problem for Eubank, to beat the bigger man you must have the silky game plan. Eubank has a granite chin like his old man, but he does not have quite the same difficult style as his father had, his father also struggled with boxers, but he was a man who could find a way. So back to the plan, 12 rounds, so round after round frustrate, move, dig if time, if not feint, jab move, jab jab, Benn could do a number on him if this game plan is executed beautifully, if Benn tries to wade into Eubank, then this will be suicide, Benn will get knocked out that is almost a certainty, Eubank can bang, ask Groves. So Benn must!! he must stick to the plan, and think logically this must be the game plan, it simply must? Benn moving like a whippet for 9 rounds, and if the opportunity arises he sets about him in and round, if Eubank misses badly, then bang in comes a dig. The problem, and its massive, if Eubank connects with anything, Benn may fall apart and go into Benn mode, then its knock out Eubank win. The other problem, the big problem, he is a Benn, Benns go in the ring with dynamite in each hand lit, lit with a burning fuse, and these need to be thrown otherwise ?. This fight is a good fight that has been made, and it will do massive numbers. Strip all the bullshit away, lets see a great fight, and lets see these 2 warriors come out of this fight safe and well, so they can go back to their families richer and both proud. I think this fight may well be a British classic to saviour, I hope they come out of this respectful to each other.

benns fighting style is tailor made for eubank. hell counter the hell outta benn and mark his face up real bad
