Comments Thread For: Conor Benn vs. Chris Van Heerden Finalized: April 16 in Manchester

[PRINCEKOOL]

Benn never intended to fight Brook. Special K would've iced him inside 6 rounds.

I think the Brook fight could materialize later on in the year. It was too much of a quick turn around for Brook.

Too much to decide on, after such a big win. In about 1 months time, that is when people will know if Brook fights on and against what opponent etc

Team Brook, I think should still be aiming to fight Benn. He has been talking a good one, saying he would bash both Brook & Khan up real good.

Brook should be ringside at Benn vs Van Heerden.

Just because Ennis fought him it doesn't excuse this fight, both are trash

I agree, both were trash. I'm just getting on the hypocrite who excuse Ennis but attack Benn for the fight.

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

Let me tell you about an incredible word that started in the 1970’s in the United Kingdom. It was rarely used but caught steam after the election of Trump (one of the great results of democracy).
This word is like magic. Whenever someone calls out a misgiving or a wrong or even a valid point or fact in an argument, one only needs to throw this word into the debate and voila! The argument changes course almost instantaneously.

Would you like to know what that word is? Come on! I think you want to know. May I please tell you?

It is called Whataboutism.

whenever anyone criticizes Benn, just throw in Boots Ennis and voila! Magic happens!
Isn’t that something?

Correct. It is Whataboutism...and in this instance, I'm employing it well.

Here's an example:

Question: What about Benn fighting Van Heerdan?
Answer: What about Ennis fighting Van Heerdan!

Oh, by the way, I'm from Brooklyn NY...but everything else you wrote is correct.

[thack]

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?

Yep , you are **** on here, Edward calls him the 'face of Dazn'..! ......as if they haven't got enough trouble to deal with...

[Mammoth]

Not a great fight but not as bad as some are making it out to be either.

Did you just get triggered? Lol
I never said you were from the UK. I merely stated the origin of the word - it is from the UK.

If you think you are employing it well, good for ya. Your MAGA sign off pretty much sums you off perfectly.
I’m guessing if someone from the UK or some other sovereign nation says something negative about Trump, your response will be “What about *****?”
