Eubank vs Benn 2: Date, UK fight time, location, records, undercard, ringwalks & weight

The first fight was a lot of fun, but a clear win for Eubank over 12 rounds.

Eubank appeared weight drained, operating at a lower level than usual but Benn was unable to make that count in his favour.

Benn failed to use his speed and cardio to overwhelm Eubank and will be eager to rectify that. He has suggested he will use a more conservative approach in the rematch, saying he was too obsessed with claiming a knockout in the first few rounds.

The punch statistics also pointed to a Eubank win. Eubank landed 367 punches, Benn landed 215 punches.

Benn landed 180 power punches compared to Eubank’s 227.

Eubank also had a better landing percentage, with 40% to Benn’s 36%.

All three judges scored the contest 116-112 for Eubank.

After the fight, the scorecards revealed judges were split on five occasions – the second, seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th round.

All the judges gave Eubank the opening round, fourth, fifth, sixth, 11th and 12th, while they were unanimous on Benn taking the third.
