Live Results from Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Fight Card

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn

Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur

In the penultimate fight of this card, it was time for Anthony Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs) vs Lyndon Arthur (24-3, 16 KOs) 3 for the WBA Intercontinental light heavyweight title. Yarde began the fight on the front foot, looking to push Arthur back.

Arthur controlled the distance better in the second round with his jab, but it was still Yarde looking to apply the pressure. The first half of the fight saw Yarde constantly following Arthur around the ring, who appeared content to jab and move. Yarde needs to cut the ring off more effectively in the second half of the fight. When Yarde beat Arthur last time, it was because he refused to give him a minute to breathe.

The eighth round saw both have success before Yarde ended the round strong – with Arthur against the ropes, the Hackney-born fight let some eye-catching quick combinations go. As the fight edged towards its close, the crowd in the stadium appeared disinterested in what had been a difficult fight to watch and score.

Yarde has had more success as the fight has progressed and worked well on the inside. It’s been a difficult watch and not an easy one to score. In the stadium, the DJ has dropped some classics to keep the crowd entertained – and honestly deserves a bonus. The Londoner was the busier fighter down the stretch and deserved the win.

It feels like he’s crying out for a big fight, while it’s difficult to see where “King Arthur” goes next. Both fighters gathered in the middle of the ring to hear the scorecards, which were 115-113 and 116-112 x2. Yarde is now the WBA Intercontinental light heavyweight champion.

Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna

The next fight in the middleweight division saw Liam Smith (33-5-1, 20 KOs) and Aaron McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) meet for the vacant WBA International middleweight title. The opening two rounds saw Mckenna move well and pick his shots. His movement also made him an elusive target, with Smith looking to walk him down.

Mckenna proved tricky through the first four rounds, showcasing his impressive hand speed. Even when Smith did close the distance, the Irish fighter spun the Liverpudlian, moving out of danger.

“Beefy” found Mckenna difficult to pin down, with the Irish fighter looking comfortable. As the fight went into the second half, the Liverpool fighter needed to slow his opponent down by working his body. What’s most impressive about Mckenna is his ability to control the fight up close or at a distance.

As the fight reached the final rounds, it became difficult for Smith to land a significant glove on the Irish fighter. A beautiful left to the body of Smith in the final round confirmed the Irish fighter’s dominance. Ironically, when Smith looked on the verges of being stopped he landed some of his best shots of the fight. As the final bell sounded, it was a career-best performance from the “Silencer,” who at 25-year-old looks set to have plenty of success in a middleweight division lacking in real depth. The scorecards confirmed the dominance of McKenna, who won by unanimous decision, with scorecards of 119-108, 117-109 and 118-108, crowning him the new WBA International middleweight champion.

Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke

Next on the card was the potential fight of the night, with Viddal Riley (13-0, 7 KOs) and Cheavon Clarke (10-2, 7 KOs) colliding for the British cruiserweight title. Chev Clarke ring walking to North London Forever as an Arsenal fan in the Spurs stadium was certainly brave.

It was a cagey opening three minutes, with both finding their range. Riley controlled the distance well in the third, working diligently behind his jab. Both fighters landed smart right hands at the end of round three.

Clarke tried to close the gap in the fourth, but Riley continued to move well and pick his shots effectively. At the halfway point, Riley looked comfortable, moving well and letting sharp punches off, ensuring he controlled the distance and tempo.

Chev landed a good right hand near the end of the seventh. Could Riley be slowing? As the fight entered the final two rounds – Clarke needed to try something different. He needed to put Riley under significant pressure.

As we enter the final round, Riley looks comfortable, dictating the tempo. He’s very well-schooled and will be a difficult opponent for anyone. The final round saw Clark desperate to apply the pressure, but Riley countered and moved effectively again. The judge’s scorecards were 116-112, 117-111 and 115-113 all in favour of the Tottenham fighter, crowning him the new British cruiserweight champion.

Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton

After a delay to the opening bout, it was time for Chris Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KOs) to face Brandon Glanton (20-3, 17 KOs) in a cruiserweight fight, with plenty of needle, if the press conference was anything to go by.

The opening round was a fairly even affair – with both fighters getting in close and exchanging hooks. Both had their pockets of success over the next few rounds, with the British fighter landing the better shots.

By the halfway point, I had Billam-Smith ahead. Glanton was tough, but the cleaner work came from the Bournemouth fighter. The fifth and sixth were entertaining, with Billam-Smith working well to the body.

Entering the final three rounds, Glanton has shown his bravery throughout and had moments of success, but Billam-Smith has timed his shots impressively, especially to the body.

It was a gruelling opening fight, with both boxers deserving plenty of credit, but the cleaner work from Billam-Smith should be enough for the decision victory. The judge’s scorecards were 116-113 and 116-112 x2, all in favour of “The Gentleman.”
