Comments Thread For: Hearn: Kell Brook Against Conor Benn is a Brilliant Fight

[gooderz84]

This will be a big block buster fight, that is something Brook can get motivated for etc

I see this fight happening at 149-150 pounds, as Hearn has stated those weight numbers 'Once it is stated you cannot back track in this game'.

Listening to Dominic Ingle speak in recent interviews, it has reinforced me with reassurance that Brook can come in good condition under Ingle.

Ingle seems eager and game for Conor Benn.

The reason why I am quoting Ingle and not Brook, is because I know? He is no nonsense, if Brook could not beat these guys 'Ingle would not associate himself with Brook and tell him to retire'.

If Conor Benn takes this fight at 154 pounds, I would be surprised. Well it is more so Hearn that will probably shy away from 154, as I think Benn has also stated he has no issue with going to 154 pounds etc

you could be right mate I'm only going off his demeanour post fight and his chat about how he can still get up for the biggest fights. That being said, he's lost to Spence and Crawford now and 147 doesn't appear to be an option now so literally anything could happen I guess. Maybe one of the supers will throw him a voluntary expecting an easy night?

but Kell is not a welterweight anymore Eddie - try again! Same deal - 149lbs.

[Clive Davenport]

fight Avanesyan

A-side Brook should demand 154lbs and £5m, let's see if Benn and Edward want them chocolate brownies

But just last week Hearn said he probably wouldn’t watch Brook vs Khan because “both guys are pretty much washed up”

Hearn is still salty Brook did the Crawford fight without him. And I don’t necessarily blame him. He made Brook & Brook cut him out of a big fight. Im just calling out his hypocrisy for claiming Brook is washed (which he is) & then turning around & saying that he’s a good opponent for his new fighter

Yeah called him on this last week, but tbf, maybe Hearn's changed his mind on Brook's ability?

Dollars have got a habit of doing that for a man!

Hearn wouldn't have been doing his job properly if he wasn't trying to match Benn with the winner of Khan-Brook
I like that fight, a classic crossroads fight and it would sell well in the UK

Brook has a few options though, Benn, Eubank if they can agree on a weight or fight a contender to try and get a 154lbs title shot. Liam Smith if he gets past Vargas? Or just call it a career.

[Mammoth]

I'm ok with Brook-Benn. I'd rather it be that than Eubank-Brook.

[IronDanHamza]

I'm up for that.

[SplitSecond]

Excellent fight for Benn. Profile builder, solid test. Likely to have a great atmosphere too.

[alexguiness]

Id prefer brook v eubanks at 154. Benn not fought anyone and trying to make a name for himself, but brook don't get much from it.
But I'm sure brook will want to fight for title

Knowing hiw deluded the Eubanks are when it comes to negotiating they would insist on 168.

Now way Chris Eubank Jones Jnr can cut to 154. He has no real power at 160 TBH.

Its a terrible fight. Eubank needs a prime 160 name on his resume, weight bullying faded fighters is a bad look.
