Comments Thread For: Hearn Downplays Thurman-Garcia Rematch, Wants To See Garcia Fight Conor Benn

[Nightfall]

Benn would. Their not allowed. It's called, freezing Hearn out.

Yep but Hearnia brought it on himself

[PRINCEKOOL]

Hearn should make the Benn versus Conner as the main event , and the Garcia versus Thurman co-main event on the same card.
As a lead up to whom ever wins fighting each other, and whom ever are the loser's to fight each other as well.
I believe that will draw a good size crowd as a promotion in the states, or abroad between the older, and the newer fighters, earning all four of them, two decent pay day's.

Benn vs Eubank Junior?

I think Eubank Junior's plans my be just to fight Benn then bounce.

I don't think Eubank Junior plans to fight at 154 pounds. And I don't think Thurman or Garcia would go to 160 pounds to face him.

Now he's pretending to be making a Garcia fight for Benn, is he?

PBC isn't sending fighters of any significance over to DAZN. Top Rank isn't sending fighters of any significance to DAZN.

Hearn is becoming Frank Warren.

Danny's mentioned wanting to fight Lara for his 160 pound title, but at a bull**** catch weight of 155.
If your talking about fighting for a champions belt you can't, can't put any stipulations like that in the contract.
You have to take your chances, and fight that champion at his division limit, not the one that suits you better.
I think that Thurman would seriously consider moving up as well, if the money offered to them was right.

You did bring up some valid point's PRINCEKOOL, so I do have to give you credit for that in your reply to my post.

Perhaps. But as I repeatedly state, you don't have to like him, only get the business done with him. But others are being childish and petty and it ruins the sport, and the paying fan loses out.

Lara already said that he would fight him at the catchweight of 155 if it's offered. He says that he just wants the best fight available to him whether Danny or Thurman. He was in the crowd at the DSG-Benavides fight. I just wonder why he never mentions Charlo.

Thurman beats Benn.

[Chris Hanson]

Phase out Hearn. That’s what he does. Get Garcia to fight a version of Butasi at his weight class.

Come on now, you know why he never mentions Jermell Charlo, Jermell is a literal predator in the 154 pound division.
What I'm curious about is how effectively brutal he'll be at 160, he'll be moving up to middleweight in mid, to late 2023.
I'd like to see Jermell versus Erislandy at middleweight in 2023, if Lara is still champion at that time, or Jemell against anyone at 154/160.
