Eddie Hearn reacts when Chris Eubank Jr weighs less than Benn
Just a day before the rematch, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn made weight.
There was so much talk about the weighing of Eubank and Benn during their first fight, in which Eubank missed the weight by a slight margin.
Both men weighed in this morning, and Benn unexpectedly stepped on a scale heavier than the 36-year-old.
Benn weighed 159.3 pounds compared to Eubank at 159.1 pounds.
“The Destroyer” promoter Eddie Hearn spoke to journalists Ring Magazine about how his fighter looked on the scale.
“Conor looked great, he looked amazing, obviously it was a lot easier for him to push the limits.
“It was a little heavier than last time.
“He just got ready for this training camp, he looks really huge and robust.
He also spoke well about Eubank’s rival and how he looked this time.
“It was much better organized this time, Chris showed up almost on time.
“He looked good, at this weight he will always look tight
“He came almost a pound under, which shows what he can do well.”
Eubank Jr did not make weight at the preliminary weigh-in for the first fight, exceeding the 160-pound limit by just 0.05 pounds.
Much was written about the weight lost, and Eubank was fined $500,000 just a day after the fight.
Eubank will now focus on tomorrow’s early weigh-in, hampered once again by a rehydration clause that means he cannot weigh in at over 170 pounds on fight day.
Despite missing weight in the first fight, Eubank Jr made the hydration weight comfortable at 169.4 pounds.
Benn will be looking for revenge tomorrow night after gaining the upper hand in April.
Benn stated during fight week that he has no interest in fighting at 160 pounds again, eyeing a world title fight with names like Mario Barrios, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and more.
Many people considered retirement after Saturday night’s case for Eubank Jr.
His promoter, Ben Shalom, instead stated that if he wanted to fight Canelo Alvarez, he had to declare victory tomorrow night.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
