Benn surged into an early lead as he set the pace from the start of the fight.
He maintained his intensity, dominating throughout nearly the entire match.
An explosive round, in which Benn knocked Eubank down twice, capped off an electrifying atmosphere in the stadium.
Yet, that was not the story reflected on the scorecards.
While all judges concurred on the winner, there were significant discrepancies in the scoring margins.
Two judges were aligned, scoring the bout 107-119 and 108-118 respectively.
Conversely, a third judge scored it a closer match at 110-116, granting Eubank four rounds in the middle of the bout, while the other judges awarded him only three rounds combined.
Fans were left perplexed by the scoring, with one commenting on X: “116-110 must be one of the most questionable scorecards ever recorded.”

Another fan questioned: “Who awarded Eubank those rounds?”
A third lamented: “I can’t believe one judge gave Eubank 4 rounds.”
However, the margin of victory in one judge's eyes will not diminish Benn's celebration of his significant win.
He had a brief and pointed response for his critics after the fight: “Everyone who claims I can’t box, take that and ponder it.”
He also playfully teased his father after the match, saying: “I got one on you, Nige!”
Regrettably for fans of both Benn and Eubank, the Ilford star put an end to discussions about a trilogy fight , stating: “This marks the conclusion of the Benn Eubank saga, this is where it ends.”
