Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Conor Benn Beats Algieri, I Will Look To Match Him With Adrien Broner

[AdonisCreed]

Broner beat manny pacquaio what do u think he will do to bum Benn

Yep Broner controlled the fight, he hit him more times and Pacquiao was missing lol

I'm sure that Broner could use the payday he's got a huge judgement and lawyers to pay.

[MMegatron]

There is 0% chance of Broner being allowed into the country. This chat is disgraceful.

I'd love that fight with Rashidi because Speedy would make Benn dizzy and foolish looking. He needs more exposure also

Yeah GBP not really doing a good job with him! He should have fought Vergil Ortiz Jr. by now!

[Bronx2245]

He wants the African American suscribers without even admitting they exist

Even amongst us, AB is not that guy anymore! We all know he's not a WW! If Hearn was smart, he would have AB fight Montana Love @ 140! If AB can make 130, then maybe he's serious! On the other, if Montana can/t make 140, then make Conor Benn vs. Montana Love!

Broner? Why? Why not Yeleussinov? Why not Mikey Garcia?Why not Rashidi Ellis? Why not guys that already fight on DAZN? Why does Hearn always look for guys at PBC?

Look at who Benn has fought recently since he's stepped up the comp: Formella, Vargas, Granados, Algeri. All have faced the upper echelon guys on PBC island. Broner is a trash-talker with name value, but he's no longer upper-echelon at PBC imo. Benn's current matchmaking leads to someone like Broner, not a Yelussinov or Ellis.

BTW, have you heard anything about Speedy's next bout?

Benn vs Broner sells, and Benn isn't that good to be honest. That's why Eddie has mentioned guys like Guerrero and Ortiz, they were last half decent 10 years ago. Both those are far more done than Brook, Khan, and Broner. In theory, Algieri should be a tough test, but what does he have left and what's his motivation? The guy retired a while ago and then came back. I think since he likely still has one foot out of the door of boxing mindset, that if the going gets tough tonight with Benn's pressure, he might just look for an easy way out, head back home, cash the cheque and concentrate on his punditry.

I think Algieri needs to start well. If Benn gets on top straight away, this might turn into a bit of a non-contest. If Algieri builds up a lead and some confidence, then a potential "shock" could happen. I'm going with Benn though,. Active, ambitious, home crowd, home judges, vs a guy who was pretty good, but is semi-retired. Nash out.

Haven't heard a peep from GBP about Ellis! Have you heard anything about Yeleussinov? I know he left MatcRoom!

I don't blame him. Promoters are not gonna be able to maximize everyone's potential, so it's best that boxers make moves that bear the most fruit for them. Matchroom is clearly trying to build up Benn at WW right now, so Yelussinov was never gonna get the attention he deserved. Maybe Probellum tries to pick him up?

I hope Speedy isn't getting lost in the shuffle too. I can't say that GBP isn't getting him good match-ups, but he hasn't fought in a year.

[Daniel Skillman]

I'm down for this plan.
