Conor Benn was declared winner by unanimous decision
Boxing fans have been left stunned after the scorecards from Conor Benn’s fight against Chris Eubank Jr were revealed.
The two sons of boxing legends Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank reignited the family feud in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Eubank Jr won the pair’s first fight a few months back, but, last night, it was a different story.
The rematch saw Benn dominate in the ring, meaning his win by unanimous decision was not much of a shock.
However, the full scorecards have now been released, and people are stunned by one of the judge’s scorings.
The three judges scored the fight 119-107, 118-108 and 116-110 in favour of Benn, but many fans have taken issue with the latter score.
This score gave Eubank three rounds in the middle of the fight, whereas the two other judges gave Eubank three rounds between them.
Fans were left stunned by this scoring, with one person online even going so far as to dub it “one of the worst scorecards ever posted.”
Another fan questioned: “Who gave Eubank those rounds?”
“The 116-110 judge had three out of the first five rounds to Eubank??? That has got to be a sackable offence surely,” a third penned.
“Can’t believe Eubank was given 4 rounds by one judge,” another person wrote.
Speaking after the fight, Benn declared the Benn Eubank saga as ‘over’.
“I want to thank everyone that has come out tonight, it’s been some journey. This is the end of the Benn Eubank saga, over. Chris has twins coming and I have my boy, but this ends here.
“Everyone says I can’t box, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
“This wouldn’t have been what it was without Chris. Our dads most of all, this is generational, never been done before in history. Credit to Chris, thank you for sharing the ring with me.”
