Eubank vs Benn 2: Conor Benn masterclass crushes Chris Eubank Jr in rematch

Conor Benn put in a dominant performance to gain revenge on arch-rival Chris Eubank Jr, scoring a unanimous decision victory in their rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Eubank, who won on points in their first fight in April, looked shy throughout and had no answer for the tough Benn.

Benn made a huge difference heading into the final round, knocking down Eubank twice before triumphantly climbing to the ropes to celebrate when the final bell rang.

The judges scored it 119-107, 116-110 and 118-108 in favor of Benn.

Benn, who moved up two divisions to make this fight, achieved something his father Nigel failed to do in the 1990s: victory over Eubank.

He has been labeled as brawler throughout his career but he proved that he has much more to offer to secure this win.

Benn admitted he brought a lot of emotion into the fight in April after a long build-up that lasted two and a half years after he was suspended for failing a voluntary doping test.

But this time he looked much calmer, coming back with a smarter plan, combining raw aggression with carefully chosen shots to systematically break down Eubank.
