Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Blows Out Samuel Vargas in One Round

[Zaryu]

I did not watch the fight, but I can imagine what type of stoppage this was.

Did Vargas have his guard up? Was he on his feet? If the answer is yes to both of these questions.

You do not stop the fight, especially not in the first round.

I knew straight away, that Benn would got this type of stoppage win.

He is not sparking guys out, clean on the floor etc

But nevertheless, that is a good win for him.

Vargas' head snapped back from the punches and he is partly to blame for not taking a knee, holding, or trying to look more involved in the fight, but yeah... the fight was stopped and Vargas looked more than capable of continuing to fight. My main issue is that in stoppages like these there's usually no attempt at all from the referee to actually evaluate whether or not the fighter is capable of continuing to fight. I mean, Tyson Fury gets a sobriety test here in the US in the last round of a fight after getting knocked down hard, and in the UK the fights get stopped in the first round if your head is snapped back while you're against the ropes.

Johnny Nelson is an idiot. End of discussion.

When its a Brit on the receiving end the opponent has to damn near kill them before the ref does their job. If its the other way around 9/10 times the referee jumps in at the first sign of adversity even when the opponents defending themselves.

There needs to be an inbetween and that is where it should be. Give the fighters a chance.
Vargas gets rocked every fight, he is a total punchbag but he recovers as well as anybody. He has incredibly recuperative abilities.

Vargas got hit with about 15 clean punches out of 20.

I thought the ref jumped in too early but slow it down and he was getting hit clean. Good stoppage. Vargas wasn't defending himself properly.

Vargas wasn't doing nothing doe. He wasn't throwing back & he wasn't evading/being defensively sound very well either. And Benn wasn't stopping & was coming hard n fast. This was definitely not a "UK stoppage" as it's sometimes called imo. You gotta show SOMETHING or don't be surprised when the fight gets stopped. I suspect most US refs not named Steve Smoger would have stopped this fight too.

Anyone calling that a bad stoppage is an invalid. Benn was only going to continue unloading, Vargas' head was going to be bouncing off the canvas brutally. Twice there Vargas would have went down but the second rope caught him. What do you think was going to happen? Benn was stood flat-footed, about to unload the kitchen sink on a man who was badly hurt, repeatedly, and his hands were dropping. Honestly sickening how some of you muppets refuse to give credit to upcoming fighters.

Shyte card anyway, you get what you pay for with dayzin

[diarraisagod]

Jeez, people are calling that an early stoppage?! No, it was absolutely a correct stoppage, he had Vargas pinned on the ropes, not fighting back, playing tennis with his head.

We'd see a lot more serious injuries/deaths if some of these idiots were taken seriously

Johnny Nelson the king of "Immediate Overreaction"

Props to Benn for taking care of business, yes the stoppage was kind of fast but he was getting blast with repeated clean shots I don't know WTF Vargas gameplan was. That being said clearly Eddie is building Benn up by "He Beat This Guy Faster Than The Other Guy" but make not mistake Johnny F^cking Nelson and the Bias Fanboys who think like him, Benn is still working his way up he is not ready for any of the Top Level guys in that Loaded Divisions. If they feel he is ready then please make those fights, send out some offers. Custio Clayton is available and a Free Agent make that fight next if you really want to test him. Ray Robinson, David Avanesyan all would test Benn properly

I like Benn though, continues to improve with every fight but of course he is going to have those fans who go too far and start to overrated him
