Another feather-fisted old has-been.

Benn is certainly being fed chumps to stat-pad his record with. Be a matter of time before people tire of this, if they haven't already.

glad to see Barrett out again. The mans UD'd a current world title holder I think he's got things to achieve still.

His last fight was against Ennis. So let me get this straight, Van Heerdan was good enough for Ennis but not Benn.

Oh another semi retired, non puncher who was never any good in the first place.
Wake me up when this gimp fights someone with a pulse.

Its a joke, its barely a step above these YT circus fights.

Nobody said it was good enough for Ennis & that was nearly 2 years back and he got the absolute hell beaten out of him and thankfully for a headbutt had his life saved.

Isn’t this the dude who beat up McGregor I didn’t even know he was still fighting. He’s old. Hearn should’ve went and got Broner, would’ve helped raise CB profile and sold more tickets

That clown probably wouldn't make it to fight night without potentially getting into legal trouble. Honestly the dude is more trouble than he is worth these days.

When Boots fought him he was active & fresher and while it didn't go 1 round he took a disgusting beating. It was a ****ty mismatch then and this is no different.
He got his ass beaten so bad in under a round he had to take nearly 2yrs out to recover.

A better version couldn't hang with Boots for a round so obviously people are going too call this for what it is. A farce.

Since he wants to fight Boots leftovers why not give Lipinets a call? He's free I'm sure!

expect more of these type of fights for the next couple of years and then Edward will likely cash him out in a big title fight & Benn will get brutally splattered or will it continue for years and years with vacant titles against more carefully hand picked opponents?

Sideways step, at least he's staying active but it's not a dangerous fight

Wait so Ennis fought Heeden a year ago in his 27th pro fight with 26 amateur fights but Heerdon is apparently awful so is Jarod Ennis a poor boxer or a ducker ?

I mean if Benn is bad and he's fighting him after just 20 fights with no amateur record that means Ennis has been taking soft touches? One guys fighting him after 20 fights one after 53 (27+26)

Maybe Ennis is good as people on here say but his boxing record looks like he works in the Heinz factory full time, the Heerdon (ND) if it were a win would have been one of his top wins, he's at best uproven the Lipnets win is just one fight and after that your struggling.

When will Ennis step up?
