    ASide from that. Anyone on here know if he's any good ?
    Benn seems to lack single punch power, but it has improved of late slightly.

    Long term? I think fighters who lack single punch power, will find things difficult 'Usually fighters like that are genius in other departments, if they are going to be world level'.

    Benn seems to have a good engine, good speed and combination punch ability.

    I am unsure how good his durability or coping mechanisms are under heavy sustained pressure is of yet. Maybe he has only shown a one dimensional game so far.

    Overall I think he is a good fighter, tenacious.

    His best attributes are hand speed, combination punch ability, his mental approach to combat 'He is all about offense, he wants to beat people up'.

      Shame it's off. I was interesting in seeing how Benn looked in this one.

        Yeah AB looks washed. It’s crazy to think this guy was once viewed as the future superstar of the sport.

        I’ve got to admit, I was on the hype train myself until I thought he lost to Malignaggi. At least I wasn’t crowning him FOTD like Larry though.

            Would Connor Benn even beat a Domestic level Chris Kongo? Michael Mckinson? i highly doubt it. yet here he is, 'a superstar on the brink off world level' Eddie steering another hypejob based off name value.
            Completely agree mate. Whilst Benn has definitely improved, the blatant avoidance of domestic level fighters is shocking.

            Essuman is another guy I’d throw in that mix.

              Thanks for that.
              Answered most of my questions about him.
              Unfortunately now the fight is off.

                Maybe after this fight, Conor Benn can fight Josh Kelly then David Avanesyan.

                I want to see Benn face Josh Kelly 'No idea what Kelly is doing at this time'.

                Note: I have just read that Bellew, agree's with the Josh Kelly fight. I don't really pay much attention to the 140 divisions all that much. But I am keeping track of a few fighter etc
                That's right about kelly he has completely vanished
