Comments Thread For: For Better Or Worse, Conor Benn Is Cleared To Fight This Weekend

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - For better or worse, Conor Benn is cleared to fight this weekend. You're probably tired by now of hearing that phrase from promoter Eddie Hearn, who has mentioned it multiple times in nearly every interview he's conducted on the subject in recent days. An explanation was required when England's Benn appeared as a very late addition to the DAZN show this Saturday at Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

remember to test him AFTER, too!

Benn, known more for his last name and test results than actual boxing ability.

Eggs Bennadicted to drugs.

Well-written and researched article. Well done, BoxingScene.

Seems a bit of a coincidence that Benn a small welterweight has according to himself and trainer Simm’s been training his butt off but has turned into basically a middleweight!!

"cleared to fight" or "found a loophole to fight"?

He wasn't cleared of anything. They just played with the system and its loopholes to contest jurisdiction and get away with it.

Of course he is! Eddie Hearn needs a new cash cow! His “American take over” can’t wait

article starts out with " at this time i am sure you are tiered of hearing " then drags it out and thru again. if no one gave this clown ink and that includes Eddie the Clown it would pass and would those two but keep there name out there and this is the stuff we get.......... if no one brought it up or broke it down it would die a quiet death

Allowing Benn to fight just shows how weak boxing treats cheats. Benn’s positive testing was independently confirmed by VADA, yet Eddie Hearn is so desperate to allow Benn to fight because his 2 golden geese Canelo and AJ have declined to the point that either will be easy pickings for any above average fighter.

Canelo left Matchroom because they ran out of local UK taxi drivers to fight him, and AJ is so scared of getting KO’ed that he fights like a deer in headlights.

Matchroom’s other resident cheat, Alicia Baumgardner and her handlers are desperately looking for a Benn type loophole to beat the system. But, Hearn isn’t going out of his way to defend her because he knows Alicia has been looking to sign with other promoters for quite some time claiming Hearn is as cheap as they come when it comes to women boxers.
