Comments Thread For: Chris Van Heerden: I'm a Much Better Boxer Than Conor Benn

[JakeTheBoxer]

Nah, that should be an easy win for Benn.

Boots faced van heederen is his 26th pro fight and Benn is doing it in his 21st. Is that really a massive difference? Especially when you consider that they started their careers at the same exact time. Month and year.

It is when you consider the difference in amateur career as well

Not that I'm a fan of this fight but I don't see how fans of Boots can criticise this fight. Boots had a stellar amateur career and took 5 fights more to fight CVH and since then he's not really kicked on either.

It's just indictive of where the sport's at right now. Prospects don't take much risk until there's a fight worth taking a risk for. It works the other way too, big name fighters don't want to face high risk, low reward prospects either.

It'll continue until fans and TV broadcasters stop paying for wanky fights. I do think Boots is further along his journey than Benn but they're both overdue a step up in opposition.

Chris van Heerden has dismissed Conor Benn's boxing ability ahead of their 12-round Welterweight clash for the WBA Continental Title this Saturday April 16 at the AO Arena in Manchester, shown live worldwide on DAZN (excluding New Zealand and Australia), labelling the 25-year-old an "emotional, angry fighter".
