Conor Benn would be ideal. Big mouth, no style, sold out in England. Until Eddie Hearn craps his pants, knowing Josh Kelly would end Conor's career and he would have egg all over his face.

This forum was huge on Bakhram for a reason. Brilliant win for Josh and well deserved. Always knew he had talent, but after the Loss to David and draw with Robinson I didn’t see him lifting a world title after those fights. He’s done excellently. I’d make Kelly the Fave against Benn. Conor knows he’s in a rough place when reality sets in. Top fighters in 154 beat him handily. Shakur humiliates him. He’s got the Garcia fight and the hope of Ryan being a mess mentally is Benns best hope.

Conor Benn is a terrible boxer compared to Josh Kelly 'skill for skill he is a very rudimentary and basic fighter. Who heavily relies on his fitness and so called punching power? Well Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, have tried their upmost best to promote Benn as the same kind of fighter and puncher as his father. But any real boxing fans, who know the history of British boxing know for sure that Conor Benn is nowhere near the level of his father'

Note: Conor Benn fought a version of Chris Eubank Junior 'who was completely dead at the weight of 160 pounds twice. It was a minor miracle and very impressive that Eubank Junior was able beat Benn in the first fight'.

Chris Eubank Junior should have really moved up into the 168 pounds divisions after that fight 'instead of competing in his rematch vs. Conor Benn. Ultimately in my opinion? Chris Eubank Junior beat himself, and sacrificed his boxing resume for material gains. He was chronically weight drained and damaged during his rematch vs. Conor Benn and suffered the consequences of his decisions to compete at 160 pounds with a rehydration clause'.

I think Conor Benn has really got too high off his win vs. Chris Eubank Junior II 'when in reality he should acknowledge that, he beat a fighter who was dead at the weight. And more critically he was still unable to even legitimately knock him out'.

Josh Kelly unlike Conor Benn has been in real fights throughout his entire career 'fights where the actual match ups are not manufactured to increase the likely-hood of him winning. And when fighters are matched in this manner, they may lose but? In the process they are always going to develop in a much more honest and measurable way to a fighter like Conor Benn'.

To conclude: Conor Benn has still yet to be in a real unmanufactured high jeopardy professional fight 'If he fights Josh Kelly, it will honestly in my opinion be his first real unmanufactured professional boxing fight'.

I would make Josh Kelly the big favourite to win, and with the combination of his amateur and professional experience 'I would not be surprised if Josh Kelly was able to win every single round vs. Conor Benn'.

Adam Booth, and Josh Kelly should definitely been putting pressure on Matchroom boxing to make this fight etc.

Will nepo PED domestic level bozo man up to the challenge?

[Butt stuff]

Have the feeling Kelly vs Benn might turn out to be a stinker of a fight. Not sure if Benn has the ability to adjust when he starts whiffing shots and not being able to land on Kelly.

" . . the Ennis fight will always be there . . . "

Read that as "not anytime soon".

Pre-fight it was that Kelly had already signed a contract to fight Ennis next if he won. Quack.

Typical UK cherry pick if he fights Con Man Benn, but what do you really expect from these UK fighters?

[jackblack008]

Happy for Kelly he gets the championship belt. But don't go anywhere near Boots. Conor "cheat" Ben will be great matchup in UK.

[ShoulderRoll]

The Murtazaliev fight should have been a draw. Now he’s going to milk the belt and hold it hostage.
it hostage.
