    Ok.

    Now I really don't know what to think about Formella. Is he THAT damn tough???

    I mean damn, Porter couldn't do it, Benn couldn't do it, but we see Benn's got legit power and speed, so WTF?

    He didn't blast out Sammy Vargas. The ref jumped in and called a UK stoppage.

        Vargas has more miles than Formella, and he has been stopped before. Benn also seemed a bit sharper against Vargas.

          The problem is that with COVID, earnings, economies, guys are just coming to collect a check. That’s the unfortunate truth in these times. Yildirim just shelled up not attacking because he was making generational wealth against Canelo. He’s living big time in Turkey with the dollar converted.

          same with Vargas. Seeing Vargas’ resume, I’d imagine his minimum paygrade is $50K. Take the COVID reduction fee and Vargas took probably $25k. Benn needed that name. Vargas collected 92mil Colombian peso. Half that with taxes; 45mil. Vargas made double the salary for what a high profile banker would make in Colombia within a year

          this sport exploits these situations.

              But Benn still landed at will on Formella. That's my point.

              It's not about Benn, it's about Formella.

              I mean damn, I thought prime Rios was the best punching bag in the game.

                Vargas didn’t come to fight. He’s experienced enough and been through wars to time or wrecklessly throw a Hail Mary counter when shelling up and taking a combo. Those are the basics.

                but TBTH this pandemic was correct in that it would last 3 years. I don’t mind boxers taking the bread, but what’s apparent is apparent. The way Rosario took a dive for Haymon. These guys make good money from the dollar converted since go back to their their world countries. Props to Benn. He will get better fights to come which is what he needs

                  Formella is a tough german.
