In the end, the wires worked heavily in the footsteps of their heroic fathers during A night of raw emotion at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chris Eubank Jr And Conor Benn had promised a lot in the years and weeks before the first bell; They then went out and delivered each of them. Eubank won, no one lost. It was a fight for family pride and not for other trinkets with which we bless our boxers.
It was also a fight that reached a severe price, and when the final bell sounded in front of 67,000 people, the two fighters could barely stand or speak while they were each exhausted in the arms of their fathers. The Eubanks had once again done enough, the Benns were defeated but worthy on arrival. It seems almost sticky to talk about the scores, but we got this fight, and the two epic fights between the dads, because of the scores: now, it's Eubanks 2, Benns 0 and a draw. It's not over, don't panic.
In the consequences in tears of the fight, the two dads and the two sons exchanged embraces and words – it was an emotional end to a brutal fight. They each talked about respect, they talked about rest and Benn spoke of a revenge match.

Benn had set a frantic pace at the start of the fight, Eubank seemed slow, easy to strike, but Benn slowed down a little and Eubank found his feet. He was both smarter and wilder than much planned. He also looked good, with big punches, men trapped on the strings and large capricious swings of Benn. He went from Slugfest to smart boxing with a smooth play of legs in a flash; They clashed several times on the bell to finish a trick and the crowd loved it.
At the end of the eighth round really incredible, there was a standing ovation of each soul at the stadium; No one was sitting at the bell and people just started applauding. It was spontaneous and very moving, and they deserved it. At this stage, they had each been pushed to the hardest places in sport, for good outside the normal limits of sacrifice and pain. They had swollen faces, painful fists, heavy legs, but they have always desperately tried to end in the superb fight.
It's strange, but the last laps looked a lot like the first fight between fathers in 1990 in Birmingham; The wires wore the same short color that their fathers had wore, and it may have helped to trigger memory. It could also have been how obvious sacrifice and pain were – they led to new physical extremes. The two fathers were guilty of going to the very limits in the fighting by simply refusing to lose – the sons clearly have the same obsession with victory.
Eubank was slightly at the front, just a little cleaner and a little heavier in the last exhausting section. They were each ruined with a bell, walking on steep legs, looking for their fathers and relief. The end and invasion of the rings had a real rocky feeling. The three scores were identical in favor of Eubank: 116-112. It could have been a little closer, but it was not a flight.
Eubank SR had decided to attend only the day; The entrance to the father and son ring to Tina Turner Simply the best was one of the greatest of all time. “I'm glad he is here,” said Eubank Jr. “it gave me a big elevator.” Even Benn praised the father of his rival for his appearance. “I couldn't imagine not having my father there,” he said. It was a bit raw.
It was the only possible end to a long week of drama, a long delay and 35 years of quarrels between two families of fighting. There will never be a total end for hostilities between the two clans, no chance of a peace agreement still – desire is too deep at the moment. As the streets were approached, the streets were still blocked and the speech on a revenge match had started. Saturday evening was Eubank against Benn III and, somewhere on the horizon, a fourth fight is planned.
