Comments Thread For: Photos: Conor Benn Viciously Knocks Out Chris Algieri in Fourth

Hearn keeps mentioning Broner, but tbh I don't think Broner accepts this fight so for me if they want a big name which I think Connor is likely to beat would be Mikey Garcia then I think he could get a title shot.

That’s a good name to bring up, why not give him Garcia since what is seems quite chummy with Hearn as is. Why Adrian Broner who seems about a decade past it.

After watching this fight and his fight with Pac I'm thinking he should become a gymnast.

thought Algieri was retired and became a full time nutritionist? they building up Benn by feeding him old retired fighters and next will be fully shot Khan/Brook winner?

Pretty standard stuff. How long have you been watching boxing for?

Algeri's best fight was when he beat the Russian. Think he got lucky on that one.

Convincing win.
Much better feet, head movement, patience, shot selection...
Continuing to learn. Needs some time as came to it late with NO amateur career.
A little generosity wrt his achievements wouldn't kill anyone.

"Algieri's power was pushing Algieri back and had him the back-foot"

Did I just read that right?? His power was pushing himself back???

I don't get the hate benn gets on here, he had no amateur career to speak of, he's beaten some good boxers, yes most past there prime, but that's standard these days when your building your fighter up for bigger things, and some people's insistence that he fights Ennis is ridiculous, Ennis has beaten no-one of note either, his best win is probably lipinets, so why do people insist he has to fight Ennis or he's illegitimate?
