Billy b 724 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Out of all the prospects at the minute Josh Kelly is the one to watch? Jake ball & Martin Ward will win tonight, Katie Taylor tops the bill v mccaskill doesn't she Don't really rate Connor Benn at all atm tbh, it's early days but just don't see anything in him yet despite the KOs, he's father was some fighter though ? Okolie fights tonight aswell, he's got a good attitude to the sport imo ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Benn needs a lot of work and bringing on, far more than the likes of cordina and Kelly an them boys Benn doesn't really have a decent win tbh and that scoring was a joke ? Like you say though fairplay on heart front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) For me when I say decent win I'm not on about opponents as such I'm on about showing in ring potential for what he can do in the futire, he's best win was a 2-4 fighter so it's obvious he's fought no one good, I'm saying with a Kelly an a cordina you see things in them that can see them climb through the levels, just havent seen that in Benn , and as you say, he shouldn't be in trouble like that against a fighter of that level if he wants to go through the ranks... I can't see him coming to much tbh, rookie or not, not if he's matched properly anyway... Benn is v limited and is mainly being booked as a killing machine for the casuals imo A draw is fair for me , the 57-54 too wide, Edited December 13, 2017 by Billy b 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I spose Benn is literally learning on the job so he may get he's time but I'm not banking on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 724 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I think he will, and if he doesn't he's stark raving mad or deluded ? Benn could do with someone being very honest with him now, like I said I understand he's learning on the job but I just can't see him making much of a dent tbh unless he's against people who are there to make up numbers... he struggles when someone actually wants to have a few shots back. Definitely needs to focus on all the basics and fundamentals more listening to the Sky hype an casual hype is no good to him at the minute, honesty about where he's actually at at the minute is what he needs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 19,322 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I agree I think he also needs to get out of his dad's shadow he has his father's attribute of when the going gets tough the tough get going and thats a great Base to build of he's a real fighter but he needs to become himself not a copy of his dad because his dad is truly a one off and he will always fall short. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yeah he needs to find he's own way, all through history plenty of fighters who's fathers have fought haven't been the same type of men and couldlve done well to do there own thing look at Julio ceasar Chavez jr for one thing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think lastnight was his first time getting clipped and he showed he's got alot of heart. Again he shouldn't have been drawn into a fight like that bit he'll learn alot from it . Also dont see him ridong his old man's cost tails. He's doing alot on his own Each to their own pal, what one man sees in a fighter another man might not see at all, or it might not be he's cup of tea, but I don't really enjoy he's work tbh, he entertained me last night coz it was a scrap but he's Boxing isn't too clever and he needs to start sharpening up, when you look at who's about it'll be very hard for him to get a British title imo, I can't see him winning a British title Any fighter with a pulse will be harbouring hopes of Sparking him coz of how wide open he was last night, that defence needs tightening up and fast, I don't think he has enough about him to make it tbh, can't see him winning a meaningful belt ever, early days an he's a young chap but last night shouldn't of played out like that for him , doesn't mark good things for when he moves through the levels ? what improvements have you sin, out of curiosity? Coz I haven't seen him improve on much, or sharpen up much , I dunno, maybe I'm being too hard on him but I can't see him getting anywhere near a British felt anytime soon and if he does win a belt in future it'll be one of them "versions" of a top belt nothing against him just don't think he's got what it takes, he'll need a lot more than he's grit to rise to the top Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy b 724 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 fairplay mate Guess well just have to keep watching and see what the future holds for him will take a lot for me to change my opinion on him but good luck to him ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robertb123 372 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well done to Billy Joe tonight, that was worth staying up for! Perfect tactics for all 12 rounds a joy to watch. Bad sportsmanship by the Canadians at the end though ,their man was thoroughly schooled. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
