Аз подкрепих фамилното име-Крис Еубанк-младши побеждава Конор Бен пред баща

Крис Еубанк-млад fathers’ fierce rivalry first captured British boxing, Eubank Jr edged Benn by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112.

Hours earlier, the crowd went wild as Eubank Sr made a surprise entrance and shared an emotional greeting with his son, the pair having seemingly long been distant and Eubank Sr having been critical of this Бут.

„ Много, беше особено “, сподели Еубанк-млад me.

“I’ve upheld the family name, like we said we were going to, so it’s onwards and upwards. ”

He continued: “The fact that our fathers did what they did all those years ago, it brings out another soul and spirit – and that’s what we both showed tonight. ”

The 35-year-old did not attend his post-fight press conference after being taken to hospital for checks, but before leaving, he paid респект към непредвидената резистентност на Бен в кръга.

„ Всичко ме изненада, не знаех, че има това, което има в него “, сподели Еубанк -младши. „ Мислех, че ще го счупя рано. Подцених го.

„ Не съм упражнявал за борба по този метод - той в никакъв случай не е показвал това, само че по-късно той в никакъв случай не е трябвало да го демонстрира. He had to show it tonight, and so did I. ”

Benn, meanwhile, was left devastated after suffering the first loss of his professional career, admitting the defeat was difficult to take.

“It’s a hard one to swallow, ” Benn told a press conference. “I didn’t come into the fight thinking it would be that close, I didn’t come into it to lose, I came in to win and I was not good enough И би трябвало да се оправя по -добре. ”

Той продължи:„ Искам отмъщението, желая моето възмездие.

„ Мисля, че бездействието играеше огромна роля. Мисля, че ме върна. Наредих Eubank неведнъж, само че не бих могъл да получа финала и ще се уверя, че за идващия път, че финалът е там.
