Think the lad in the shorts managed to drop himself with more of his own shots than he actually landed on his opponent. Can’t help thinking that at least one of them wasn’t the full shilling.., and the cnut doing the filming was taking a bit of a liberty.

Billy b 724 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Some good boxing last night, McKinson has a big future,also went over to the lions den and fought Vergil Ortiz Jr, something Benn wanted absolutely no part of Dalton Smith again boxed well, him, Nick Ball and Ben Whitaker are going to have fantastic careers imo, Johnny Fisher fight was a poor stoppage imo although to tell the truth you could see what was on, it was only a matter of time Now going to have a watch of the Conlan fight Edited August 7, 2022 by Billy b 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least no-one got hurt it would be close but i reckon i could sneak a win against these two 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But what I'm saying is, most fighters these days are ready to retire after just a few losses. A few boxers these days, could take a leaf out of Derek chisora's book, as the saying goes.

Billy b 724 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Benns best chance is if Jr doesn't get the rehydration right, Benn also likely gonna be carrying weight he's not used to carrying Jr will be the winner here imo, fit as a flea he is and relentless, mixed in better company, time will tell 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,646 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Conor isnt big enough to trouble Eubank its the wrong fight for both of them......sure he'll be busy enough and probably out work him but will get thrown around in the clinches and generally bashed about in my opinion....must admit i hope the fight doesnt come off.

I agree with all of that It's mad how people can be so sucked in by it all, I get why it sells because of their fathers, but if you know what you're looking at, weight disparity etc, then like you say it's the wrong fight for both of them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't reckon he's got those qualities either Not from anything he has shown us so far anyway, peynaud who dropped Benn hard is certainly nowhere near as relentless and fit as jnr in my opinion, so without that quality his dad had its just a hard old job for Benn in there to even try an overcome a naturally bigger man and someone just so fit Edited August 10, 2022 by Billy b 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
