Eubank won that, if there was no hydration clause he would have won far more comfortably. Eubank can't have been more than 50% last night, he clearly struggled to make the weight and then the check weight would have been an absolute sickner for him.
Interestingly for those that had Benn winning or a draw compubox stats show Eubank landed something like 140 more punches, landed more power punches and a higher percentage of punches landed. I know boxing is scored round by round rather than overall but 140 more punches landed is a pretty significant amount. Even on a round by round basis, Eubank out landed Benn in every single round.
The Ring Magazine's AI judge actually scored it wider to Eubank, it had him winning 117-111.
I don't think we'll ever see the rematch. There's no chance Eubank is fighting at that weight again or with a rehydration clause and I don't think Benn (or more likely his team) would entertain that. He can move back down and have big fights.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Eubank retire. That was a very gruelling fight at his age with the weight restrictions and he's not short of money.
