Credit where it’s due, Conor Benn surprised many on Saturday night with his ability to outbox Eubank Jnr from every possible range. Up close, he was stronger and smarter, and even at a distance, where Eubank Jnr had so much joy in April, Benn was sharp and accurate and totally in control. His jab, in particular, was extremely effective, as was his body attack, which included an array of jabs and right crosses often sent in a stabbing motion towards Eubank Jnr’s midriff. There was a patience to his work, too, which few would associate with Nigel Benn’s son. On Saturday, he was measured, calm, and strategic. He knew what he had to do to keep Eubank Jnr in his shell and he did it – over and over again.
