Touch them now. Touch them. Ah, no.
Bad blood. Genuine hatred. Contrasting characters, brilliant buildup, high controversy, intense training camps, an awesome atmosphere here.
The fans are totally split. The story is like no other. Senior and Nigel can only watch Chris or Connor.
Light the touch paper. Here we go. Oh, a left hook right Eubank.
Eubank looking massive in there. Oh, good shot there again from Eubank. Lovely jump.
He looks big, doesn't he? Eubank. He looks huge, man.
He's got the experience at the higher level. We knew Connor would rip into him, but the right hands and the counter punching of could be dangerous. That upper gun he's looking for early.
He's got to be careful as he throws that lead right hand corner. He's really falling over the front foot and he's already thrown a couple of left hooks. Eubank just going to stay in the center of that ring there.
Eubank just popping that jab open from too far out. That jab from Eubank is looking precise early looking wild and worthy. He's got to close the range and get nice and tight to Eubank.
But with that, he takes risks. Yeah, he's got to change the levels. Move that head, target the body first, then work back upstairs, that left hook, working a treat.
So is the jab so far from Eubank. There's a lot of movement here from from Ben without needing any thought behind it. Just trying to be a bit of a puzzle here for Eubank.
That's just moving around in a no man's land here. You got to be more assertive with those movements. It's patient and control from Eubank just like he's been in the buildup.
The older man almost looking like that headmaster that he said he would. But Connor comes in with a left hand and a right foot as well. Can he hit Eubank the bigger man?
That's a real question. He really needs to try and rough up view when he's inside then throw the shots around the side of the head, the body, the arms, the target, everything. He might not be physically strong enough though judging by the size difference here.
And also when he throws a left hook, you got to make sure he gets that foot closer because leans back with his left hook. Get the lean and gets his body out of the way of it better than Ben. Ben bobbing and weaving but not really getting the angles right at the moment.
UAC just holding the center of the ring over there. He shakes his head in the fire that right hand squeak through confidence there for Ben still falling too far off. He thought he through the jab.
The champ didn't now remain allowed to get close. That left hook is dangerous if you one of his best weapons in an uppercut as well. Look out for that as Ben comes in.
Ben trying that left hook himself just there. You got his hands going to throw right hand. Nice.
Nice. like working like working there in the corner. He's had plenty of trainers.
Chris Ronnie Davis, his father's trainer in the corner as well. Fakes [music] make you miss. When you when you're coming in from that side, he's only going to follow the left foot as you roll underneath it.
Come back. [music] Yeah. That's good.
First round away. Tony Sims who's been with Connor Ben since the beginning train you Darren. They're so close and he's so crucial for Ben's tactics that he doesn't just go hell for leather.
Absolutely. And he's such a calming influence. Sully in the corner.
But I've got to say, I've been impressed with the jab of Eubank. A shot I feel he's neglected in his career in the past. Nice jab from Ben though.
We're trying to double it up. Connor Ben with the jab. The black skirt like outfit.
And if you need the identification, the white and red of Chris Jr. the 35year-old from Brighton and Connor Ban from Essex. only from you back just before that going to a good job.
Just a few seconds before that you said, you don't you don't have to go to him. He'll come to you. You still got to take the center of the ring.
I'm going to be in the back. So everything needs to be of a jab or a fake from can't afford to jump in with a big wild left hook or right hands. That just plays into Eubank's hands.
Nice jab again from both swapping jabs. Eubank with a huge weight advantage in the ring. Remember Conor had a natural but he said he doesn't mind at all.
He's going to climb up and take out Eubank the bigger man and then go back down to 10 stone 7. A fantasy fight for so long. Now reality better there from Ben when he comes in.
But you got to go work on front of him though. Can't just throw him and not do anything off that. Yeah, definitely.
If you get the reaction, then you've got a throw. Time to the jab as well, Ben, cuz you just I mean, he was really sharp in the first round. We should just touch him with it in the second round.
That best bit from Connor in the second round. Chris just trying to get that jab going again. That is a really good weapon and he utilizes it like George Cro a few feet away.
Beat Chris E. Of course, so did Billy Joe Saunders who's here and Liam Smith who fought earlier. He can be taken out.
Connor Ben, remember has never lost a pro fight. That's a good jab. Yeah, it's a lovely dab and he's trying to slip inside the W as well.
Oh, just miss him with the right there. Better though. He steps in by the left.
Much better round from Connor and a bit of blood from the nose of Eubanker's jab. just hasn't had the precision as it did in the opener. Yeah, he should allow he to my allowed B back into the fight a little bit here.
Had a good first round and didn't come out positive in this round and allowed Ben to take the initiative for sure. And at least at least Betty's been wild. He commits to every shot.
So when he lands, you feel it as well. We've heard the stories inspiring that have taken apart William Skull and others. Nigel's been telling us all week that you haven't seen how good can be done with the right hand.
Yeah, right. Your jab was good. Use that jab.
Your pass jab. You can see what's coming at you now. As you move to that side, you just close the left hook.
Yeah. When you close the left hook, you come back. Come underneath.
You come back for shots. Right. Yeah.
Work that jab up and down. Work the jab up and down. Keep your feet in range a little bit.
Look your head. Relax your head. Bring a blistering start.
Think it's fair to say it's one a piece there. Both exchanging jabs. [music] Nice shot there from Barry said just allowing Ben into the fight there.
education before around the shots that he's throwing. And that man there wants him to get behind the jab. His son.
Look at the dads watching on as their boys go to war in front of almost 70,000 here at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The ring magazines inaugural event. It's Eubank Junior and Ben.
And is it one a piece? Connor Ben I think settled nicely in that second round and he's whipping that right hand. I think he feels he's got the speed in there.
Step behind the jab a bit better here you back in the second round. That's the thing. You want to throw that jab and use it.
But if it's a weak jab, it's just wasted weapon and you're giving opportunities to your opponent. So you got to step behind that jab. Every time D runs into you, you got to make feel it at a much much higher level Junior as he ships a right hand and again with a left.
in the first minute of the third round and felt that as there we go. Now Ben will believe he has the power to shake his nemesis. He was talking to Ben in his ear there.
Yeah, you're right at him. He knows now. He knows he knows he can hurt the bigger man in Eubank.
That was a thunderous left. It was a great shot. Speed of the shot.
That's what it was. Just accelerating and that's what he's got coming up in weights. Everyone talking about the bigger guy, but the speed advantage, the agility seems to be with Connor Ben pushing the shots there.
U losing that weight that takes away your punch resistance. We know how hard this has been to get down the way. It's a right hand from Connor as well and he just seems absolutely in the zone here.
Ben put it back on as well. A training 48 hours for Chris Eubank Jr. But he took it and he's taken the challenge as they just topple over.
I wonder how strong you guys feel in the next break to me. Depends on using those feet and working off them. That's the difference though.
There's a 10 in tens of those feet. When he jumps in with that left hook, Ben, he needs to follow through with the right hand. He's growing in confidence here.
Conor man needs to let his own right hand is he trying to get that jab well with the left just looks like something's gone out of Junior. It's a big round for Col here at Tottenham. How about that?
And you as he goes back to his corner. Is it a mixture of the speed and the weight? Good job to control the fight.
That's all I'm trying to control. Good job. The knockout weekend bundle time first coming your way.
Time Square, New York. Ring magazine presented. Ryan Garcia, Ry Romero, power by Fal Fury City of the Wolves.
Then the following night we're off to Riad for Canelo putting his undisputed super middleweight crowd on the line against William Skull together or separately. Go to the zone. com/boxing [music] to find out more.
Conor Ben who's been sparring with William Skull and all the reports that he's looking absolutely terrific. That was a big round for him Darren. Massive left hook from Connor Ben there.
into the fourth. This the round that Nigel then predicted Connor would be victorious. Uac Junior has been saying he will win by a devastating knockout in supreme fashion.
just slow to me. Ben in and out smiling you back and talking to him in there going again he has a good first round you remember since then he's just a little bit tentative to really commit to any sort of combination or or power shot when you let his jabs go like he is doubles triple then you put the right hand on the end of it good work with the left hook from you they're starting to put the punches together nothing on the shot I mean there's Tangible. That's good.
There's nothing really to worry with missing with that well right hook, but he's just intent causing carnage in there. Conor Ben Junior wants to keep it at range. Body shot.
Back comes Ben. This is great. Just trying to smash him around the side, the left side, almost around the back of Connor.
Really fired up. We know they're not the two best middleweights in the world. We know there's no world title on the line, but it doesn't matter.
This is about the score from you. Honey punch. You can't work off that.
Is it conserving energy? It's too early in the fight to be doing that. He is back.
just miss upstairs. He's target the body with the J and he can fire back up with the right hand from the younger man. Remember he is just 28 35.
for a long career. His 38th professional fight and much pressure says return back to the box. He just jumped in really quick with a ring for it though.
He took that well. It's the ones you can see. you can take is the one he kept that little Whitney shot that left hook.
He didn't see it. Same thing with the Liam Smith. It's the shot he didn't see that happen from there.
He hasn't just Skelter. He's brought him out his attack. It's all on the line here.
[music] I saw the light on the night that I spy single. You got to bring the left foot back in the fly. That's what he's doing.
It's a lovely uppercut there from Dubai. Just jabbing to the chest there. Then he's ripping right up through the middle, bending his legs to get some leavage on that uppercut as well.
And Ben took it well, but it was the standout punch of the ro for sure. And again, there little lean back when he throws a left hook. So when Ben jumps in out the distance, Ben Eubank gets there first and then Ben just showing that little acceleration of pace, the speed in the right hand catching Eubank with a great shot.
He took it well, but a good competitive round and maybe Eubank just did Eubank edge that is it to a piece. He's taking every bit of a minute rest can't wait to get on with it. He's grimacing and growling.
Carl, have you got it? 2-2. Carl Franklin has it.
It's so tense. So close. Connor already, I think, doing a better job than a lot of people thought.
is flipped over and some assault entertaining the crowd. Eubank senior smiles rightly at ringside. I think people thought Ben was going to have everyone said Ben early late but I think they thought he was going to have the bust of guts to be to be in the fight or to be winning the fight and he hasn't quite had to do that.
He's he's doing a lot of work but I think he's still attack you. But punch long. He's going to punch short and allow Ben in in with a chance of landing with you.
Body shots from Con and I think he's really going to try and tire you out. Maybe the plan is to get him in the later rounds. Most people thought it would be Eubank if it was later by stoppage.
But maybe that's the tactics from Tony Sims and the team. Well, I mentioned the punch resistance to the chin when you're using losing that weight. It's also very very hurtful and damaging to the body.
And leading 23 Conor Euang who's won 34. Stylish at his best as well. There's an opportunity there though for the right hand as he step forward.
He's a little slow as he took the front foot forward. Euang, he's good. He's good when he gets the distance right, isn't he?
You back Barry. Yeah, but then when he threw that right hand, he didn't for some reason not he's not punching through the tag. He's just touching with that right hand.
That looks lively at all times. Show his power. 25 Junior and the natural middle.
Even super middle. I tell you what, he does look a lot smaller in there, but he's not getting bullied, is he? Good work from Ben comes back just misses with a body shot again.
They're talking to each other and there is sort of letting them get on with it. But the longer waits to throw punches, the more chance he gives Ben chance to get a little bit closer and mount an attack. And he has the speed advantage, especially when he accelerates pushing off that front foot.
Body shot from Ben again. Left hand just toying with the jam. That was a good left hook there.
What's it? Tony Sims calling upon finish after he throws that right hand with the left hook. You're going one shot.
One shot. You got to start putting your punches together. He's just picking you off with the jab, right?
When you look Well, Tony Sim saying he's picking you off with the jab, but it's tip for town at times, isn't it? It's really goodness. Yeah, really sharp hands from both using that lead hand.
Well, better work with the right hand. I still feel he's neglecting that shot. Head's coming together.
They need to be careful there. But brilliant start to this contest. Keep taking him to school, but you don't got to get in.
Marcus Rashford and Dean Rice right behind us. I know Declan's a big Connor Ben fan. What a big smile away from home is Declan.
Great guy and a big boxing fan. And sitting just by Dean is Carl Franklin. Let's try and bring you in.
You got it. It's a really good fight. Really good fight.
Close. Um I just have you back in front. There was a round there that I thought that that it could have went either way.
So a lot of people may have Ben in front by round, but it's close. And what Ben done? He heard him in a round.
I think round two. He knows he can hurt you back. I think that's important in this fight for him.
But swinging from the hit and having success to par. You might slightly inher up. Will it even go to the cards?
Most people think it won't. And this is why when when Ben throws a right hand, you got to finish with a left hook. But that left hook's a whipping shot.
And it's the shot that Huang doesn't see. And that was the shot that hurt him. And vice versa there.
He leading. He led sorry with the left hook. Then he could have followed through with the right hand.
He's going to get a ticky off just tidying things up. There is a rematch clause as well. These two could go at it again.
already. We'd probably like that. Great one from Connor Ben.
Their fathers win twice and their sons are following suit. Oh, train the uppercut. Just sc the target there, didn't he?
Lucky there, Ben. He dipped into that almost. Well, it's opening up more.
He is really exchanging in this sixth round. that Eubank was a nice white to the body though from Eubank. Yeah, countering shots from Eubank again with that Tony Sims was talking about the slipping in the canvas trying to get their boots in.
There's a couple of times that he's just thrown the lazy jab Eubank and Chin's been a little high. There's an opportunity for Ben to really throw that right hand over the top and landing more on the statistics through five rounds. And how the judges have got it.
It's tight. It's close. Both having their successes in there and looking like a long fight at this stage.
Yeah. But again, they've both waited a little bit too long here. I just think B is taking the initiative.
Get nice and low. Fainting, fainting, fainting and move. Move ahead while he's coming forward.
Jab from good just walks through ahead from trying to get aggressive again. I think he catches the eye of the judges as well. Eubank.
He's clever like that. More experienced movement there as well from Eubank. That's a nice he expected that as they clash [music] together.
Let's get the balls to Tony B. For me, guys, it's really, really close. I think he's ahead.
I think he's longer the better and the harder shots of the fight so far. But listen, this is close. I was surprised with Chris's tactics to meet him in the middle of the ring at the same time of the fight, especially this early on.
But it's a fantastic fight so far, but for me, Conor. And boys, I'm looking at your scorecards. You've got got it three a piece.
Yeah, very very close fight coming around. They they could have gone either way if I'm honest. [music] Really enjoying this fight.
You just can't take your eyes off of it. The jabs really really good from both men. Just missing with the left hook there, but done the right thing.
Using the momentum just to throw that right hand to the body afterwards. Ben, most people thought if Color was going to win it, it was going to be within six rounds. We go into the second half.
of this 12 round middleweight contest. Conor Ben up in Chris Hubac drained down to 100 pounds and Conor Ben stoplightly in the two hand that he's in danger of getting a point. Second target has over with Eubank.
It's really heating up in there. Oh, good shot from Africa and he walked right through it kind of showing his chin went down remember a couple of times to Cedric Pano early in his career and you wondered about his punch resistance but nothing wrong with his chin there. I'll tell you what that was a fantastic one up missed with his own right hand led him right into that shot but as you say took it so well from starting to get through with some hurtful punches just change the angle there little screw shot through the middle and a nice jab as well just put back in his place and suddenly it swings for in favor of Eubanki just throw single shots to you.
But they're mentioned Barry. Yeah, they're good shots, but I think there's a follow up there for him. time if he can make a dent in he's got a decent little chin here.
Seeking out that upperc here on that could have on that shot 4 seconds ago. Oh, good shot from He's getting through with some power punches. He's talking to Con in there as if to say to him, "Come on, now we're getting to the meaty part of the fight.
" Just standing too tall there, Ben. When he gets when when coming at him rather than getting little standing tall there again. Well, is it this natural weight advantage that is actually favoring you back now?
The strength. He's not grieving for it, is he? He's not pushing Ben back though.
Oh, good from you. Back comes Ben. Great response from Ben.
Super action in the seven. They were two cracking shots from Eubank and Ben just fired back automatically. How much do the peril of want to win it?
One of these is going to wake up tomorrow morning having lost and they're going to have to live with that. And that more than anything is going to hurt so much. How does the loser sleep at night losing to the bitter rival?
you back when he's with a couple of shots and the left to the body after he misses with that right hand or even if he lands the left to the body is there for excellent action the pretty well match these two brilliant fight really really you are both mate roll your rolling You're able to make it a miss. You're not coming back. Eubank's in front though.
Surely he is now for me. I think that's a lovely little one two there from Eubank. [music] Someone here that preference combination though.
That's another nice little one two just thinking the cleaner shots in that little uh in that round for the most of the part. Again the turning that right makes a big difference between just turn the body and get a bit more more purchase more talk on the shot. What a setting.
What a night and what a competition live on the zone coming up. The FIFA Club World Cup with some of the biggest names in football battling out to become the globe's greatest. Every game, every goal live on the zone.
Tottenham have had a mixed season, but I tell you what, they can stage a show and this is a right firefest advantage. You junior at the moment the convent has come out like a man possessed to turn out the heat to crack on the volume. It's not it's a risky tactic cuz you might go out of steam or or walk yourself.
I think it might be the right idea for him. You know, but this is where some of the the questions answered in these later rounds. Will the size of Eubac be too much for Ben the smaller man?
Will that weight affect U down the stretch? Big shots moving in from the power. He's not quite pushing for the target though there.
So that's helping a lot leaning back on the shot and taking a little bit of the sting out of the punch. Jab from Eubank is good. He's looking polished and authoritative.
Connor just looks down at you inside Darren. He's bring swinging from the head. You more accurate and a right hand there.
He's going to have to be careful. That didn't hurt. You can just see a nice job there.
You won't believe me. He could just walk through a bit now succin the target or move on the body. If he takes a backward step he's in trouble.
combination from Eubac. Working head and body and that connected as they said really at this stage make him a little bit more vulnerable here. And that's how the AI judge has got it.
Three up to Eubank Junior can't argue with enough some of the rounds one or two running could be closer on the judges car but Eubank is definitely with the authority he's Good shot. That's the shot there. Heat.
Heat. gas. And again, you had him now, mate.
[music] See what I'm saying? You got to pull the trigger on him. Don't let him off.
All right. Soon as you connect with him, you hurting him. Come on.
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
Just breathe. Senior at ringside. Is he going to go round to the corner to get involved?
Yep, he's in the corner now. What a firefest in that one. Fantastic.
That was as well. It seemed like I was having the other hand there and pushed Ben against the ropes. Some good shots and then Ben really just digging deep to fire back trying to just match for intensity.
You surely in a big lead now. Connor Ben is still firing on all cylinders and we're absolutely loving it. missed the round where Chris's dad stopped Nigel in that thriller in Birmingham Junior.
Who's got more in the tank? Who can hurt the other? Well, it'll be a mistake here when you're tired.
Good work from Con. I have you back up, but there was a round was close. I was struggling before they could have went to bed, but it just about give it to you.
What is Junior? Tremendous. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable just experience proven weight keeps coming forward that extra time in the matches for more and more now isn't he on the shot there but new just T whacking still hing her head and body. Connor Ben, he's giving absolutely everything. That Eubank still looking strong to right there in this 18t tiny ring which is delivering you back to add to the Keep working that area from the left through the right.
It's not a good counter, Darren. They're going to have to work on that in the corner. Goes for the uppercut.
Stop here in the ninth round. for the new bodies in this stadium. Incredible.
Whatever happens next, we've had an absolute pounding already. And people complain about this fight, the controversy that these two have knuckled down and they're giving the fans a classic. Show some good really his hands go.
Big to the body, but still walks through it. That cut is not good. The eye is bleeding profusely.
SW your left hand is key. by a classic accidental. Yeah, good tempo [music] in the work there from Chris Eubank Jr.
There's the the clash of heads there. That's what's caused the cut. You see straight away the blood streaming down the eye, but he's just changed [music] the sort of the the pace of the shots.
Not everything's heavy from Eubank. He was busier in that round, but you think with Ben, he's still loading up that right hand. You feel there could be one landing.
See one there does a cuff in shot with that right hand. [bell] Well, we just don't want this to stop. Brilliant entertainment as the two lock horns again.
He's got to keep his hands open when he throws that. Got to keep that right hand to the chin. He's on the right hand of the gym.
Right hand from you. Does he just feel the stronger in there? The more mature, the naturally heavier and bigger man.
Connor still trying to aim for the body and and that's the shot been called for the left hook to the body after the right hand. Power punches thrown and exchanged. A penny for the thoughts of the three judges.
Well, a lot of people were saying to me at the way in the fans that would win this in points. Ben comes back in just holds on for a moment. He's showing a good engine here.
U really has so much of his career. He just picked his spot when he let his punches go. They used to punch in combinations, but now just busy busy.
the finish up for and again comes back and they open up a trade and the fans love it when they do that. The grit, the heart, the determination from both. So impressive.
Ben just commits to every shot. He doesn't for every punch he throws, he just gives everything he's got. Just been chipping away.
He's had great wins in the past like that picture the James the Gale bit low from there but he's targeting that body he wants you to feel that rehydration and he cannot miss with that lift of the ball a minute left and here from the fists of car easy left hook there from you back Junior. I don't think he's as you guys think. I think he's exhausted here.
How tired is he? No. No yet in this.
Surely something has to get so much into the training and they want this so badly. It's through. You got to dip his leg right hand over the top there for Ben trying to jab to the body.
that over the top towards the end of the rounding the judges from a good round as well from another fantastic 3 minutes. [music] Step back. He's falling in Marquez.
Arm step back. Arm step back. Bring the shots up.
It's into it. It's moving in there. Trying to use his weight.
What another fantastic roll there. Just full of effort from both. That's all you can ask for when you get to a certain stage of a fight when you're just exhausted.
All you're asking for is effort. Loads of mistakes made. Eubank there leading with that front foot.
Took a few shots. I don't think he was that hurt. I just think he was tired, off balance a little bit, but Ben May took advantage of that.
Landed some really good shots and then you back at the end of the row fighting back and the dance on the end of their seats. Living hell for the Bers. There's the Warren Ben Shalom.
Baz Ben Shalom's right. Man's behind. He's trying to find the scores of how everyone's seeing it at ring.
So George Graves has it level. Cole Fton has it one up to Eubank. Darren's trying to work out his card.
I mean, you can't take their eyes off the action. No, there's a lot of wrongs. I don't know.
Who's throwing the hard shots? Who's being the busier? Do you see your best?
I think both of them have for a controversial draw like Old Trafford. And you were on that car. I was.
Power shots from Eubank. The work rate from Connor Ben working nicely inside there again just shortening it up the shots. Ben just stabbing the the shots into the body getting around the elbows as well of Eubank Jr.
talking to him in there. He's actually got to be careful there Ben. Really lovely from Chris Eubank Jr.
showing his class and a beautiful jab. Just keep a bit of space helps him, doesn't it? It does and it makes him look really authoritative in Hu Jr.
the right hand. This is good from Chris. [cheering] He's getting too close to trying to push back.
He's just getting too close to that as he should have trying to free his arms. Conor man who's got more in the tank at this stage you know has you by a couple shots. You can see it from winning again.
You just see just walk onto a shot. Just a different throw with a bit more weight. You might look up at the at the time of the round.
The experience absolutely flown by this fight. Do you know what for completely different reason boxing in this absolute fin because it's been beautiful brutality savage. Fantastic.
I tell you what, there's a cracking ideal. What a fight. What an incredible fight.
I mean, remarkable heart and desire, will to win from both fighters. The shots there just stepping in with big hooks and taking them. Ben, [music] can he find something in this final round?
Can he land one of those big overhand rights? Nigel men a penny for his thoughts. Chris Eubank Jr.
SW sophisticated believes his boy is going to get this final round of what's been a fight and a night to remember here. A turn of hot and a fight gentlemen we would see again. It's been epic.
It really has. What a fight between two warriors you have to say. They've let go of the line.
Good work from both. He's hold power coming through again. The determination of Conan has been in exemplary but the punches of Chris have been heavy and this weight difference has started just to come into it.
with a right hand. What a ch showing right up here in front of us. It's nonstop.
He done the right thing there. He grabbed hold of you back cuz he was home with that right hand step and give him more range and a chance to be much more conclusive for him. Ben is going to go for it for Brock.
Is there a late twist? The way these two been committed to the shot bore again. They're just swinging fast body shots.
He's all right. He's okay. He's just tired.
He took it really well. This is unbelievable. What an explosive fight action.
This is what is this here with an empty swinging 15 seconds. The bra, the junior junior celebrates. Ben puts his hands up.
They can both take a bow. It was a fight night for the ages. For me, it's Junior.
But let's see it again. Remarkable. That was epic from start to finish.
Better than most would have expected. Incredible battle between two warriors. [music] Sign me up again.
Oh, I definitely think that will happen again though after that fight. The way that fight was to throw in and the qu the lack of quality and the just the overload, the commitment and just ly just just no disregard for your own safety for the swinging punches in it was fantastic. Conor Ben talking to Chris Junior.
[music] There's Nigel who's going to go over [music] Look at these pictures. You know what? They're fighting them and they'll do it all over again.
The heart of lion, both of them. Incredible suit. Oh, I mean, this is this is nuts to see all of this.
Do you know they they gave us what we wanted. We wanted high octane 100 miles an hour risk averse. They just went for it.
They entered for the first the highest octane you could see. Well done Conor Ben. Well done Chris Hubac Junior Conor's coming out at ringside.
He wants to see Gordon Ramsey. He's a happy man and he should be a happy man. We don't know how the judges have got it.
It wasn't the most technical affair we've ever seen, but it was better for that. It was better that we didn't see that. It wasn't a title fight.
It was two really good fighters and it blended beautifully. And you Sorry, Adam. You can tell by the way they were fighting.
They were fighting more than for themselves. Let's find out. Ladies and gentlemen, we go to the scorecards after 12 rounds.
All three judges scored the same. 116 112. The winner by unanimous decision, Chris Hub, Junior.
Was indeed parliamentary.
