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

[Butt stuff]

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

Yeah def at 154, Brook couldn’t make 147 and he was completely shredded.

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

You said it so I don't have to....thanks

I actually think it's a great fight.

Will sell big and is a great opportunity for Kell to be recognised at the top again and for Benn to gain more popularity. Kells stocks has never been higher. I mean Kell could probably get a title shot right now if he wanted to, rather than Benn, but still a fun fight.

Benn will be in Kells face and Kell will be looking to counter. Kell is much bigger and stronger, but Benn is more explosive. Benn is very raw, people acting as if it's a walkover for him.

I don't think there's a boxing fan alive that doesn't question that fight. I know he wasn't "forced" in to it but they knew what they were doing. If you offered me 6 million quid to fight a prime GGG I'd 100% take it and I couldn't slap the pappus off a dandelion (I had to look that up)

I like the dandelion line and I get what you’re saying, but in retrospect getting paid 6 million wasn’t worth the shattered eye socket Brook got from the GGG fight. It would have been tough to turn down that $$, but Brook should have used common sense and swerved the GGG fight.

you cant put brook in with a young hungry fighter like conor at this stage in his career. conor is a real nasty piece of work in that ring, he'll be focused in on that damaged eye socket like a bloodhound is when it tracks a scent.

Yeah, Conors a killer. He can run up the stairs faster than anyone.
