Eddie Hearn’s “hero” story cannot hide the reality of Connor Ben’s defeat to Chris Eubank Jr.

Promoter Eddie Hearn had been calling him, pouring his tribute to Connor Ben as he sat down. “British hero” He compared him to his father Nigel after losing to Chris Eubank Jr. at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London last Saturday night.

Hahn didn’t say what kind of “hero” Ben would bring his career to life after losing his rematch with Euvan Jr. He spoke about winning world titles at a postwar press conference with 147 and 154, but details about who he will fight to catch those belts were short.

154 pound champion

-Bakhram Murtazaliev -IBF
– Sebastian Fundora – WBC and WBO
– Terrence Crawford – WBA
-Yoenis Tellez -WBA provisional

147 pound champion

– Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis – IBF and WBA
– Brian Norman Jr. – WBO
– Mario Valios – WBC

Despite having Two handicaps Due to his weight and fighting the older fighter, Ben (23-1, 14 Kos) was voiced badly and outmart by Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 Kos) in losing a 12-round unanimous decision with a score of 116-112 x 3.

After the fight, Hearn complained about the score being too broad, telling the media that some people felt that Ben had won, or that it should have been a draw. However, when talking about the rematch, Hearn said he wasn’t sure Connor should enter another tough fight.

Such hinted that he didn’t think he could win. If I were Ben’s promoter, I would recognize that the rematch with Eubank JR would be just as bad for him, but it would probably be bad. Connor was assaulted last Saturday on the 11th and 12th.

Eubank JR’s inside game and non-stop mass punching was too much for Benn. In the rematch, Beating could begin faster as Eubank Jr. could soon take the fight inside and hit Bath Benn.

“Hero” speech

“You’re an Af**** hero from the UK when I said that,” promoter Eddie Hearn said. I spoke with Connor Ben, who sat in a room full of media after losing to Chris Eubank Jr. in London last Saturday. “It’s not just because you went there and got chinned out good.

“Until the last bell, you didn’t stop winning the battle. You’re an af**** machine, a companion. Nige (Ben), he might be better than you,” Hahn said. “It was exactly the same. You’re in trouble, you’re just f**** bolllocks.”

“We both lost,” Connor said.

🗣🗣️ “You’re af**king hero”
