Comments Thread For: $15m Conor Benn earns wide decision over durable Regis Prograis

He does not fight for belts. He wont dare - also now that he is property of TKO belts dont count unless its Zuffa / Ring. So expect him to duck the best

He's always ducked the best. Why do you think he fled 160 so fast after the two Eubank farces? Eddie would have never put him in a ring with Alimkhanuly or Adames.

This fight was at 150. Conor Benn hasn't made 147 since he was 'caught using PEDs', sorry, since he bravely fought to show he had not been using PEDs. I don't believe Benn can safely make 147 but, as you've all pointed out, he wouldn't be in the top 15 at 154 & there are so many guys that would just roast him. I think he is going to manouvre around & look for opportunities at a catch weight. I'm sure Ryan Garcia will come to 150. That would be an odd one for me as it would be the only time I actually wanted Conor to win, on grounds that he is just a pr!ck & not a Whyte Nationalist pr!ck. I also suspect he will get a fight with Rolly, somehow, & that a title will be on the line, somehow.

This wasn't a good showing against a late 30s career 140lber at 150lbs, Benn was in an all out war and if he was championship level he should have been able to get rid of Regis or at least cruise to an easy UD. I doubt he beats any of the title holders at 147.

He was hoping Barrios still held the green belt.

He would have beaten Barrios probably but if he fights Ryan eventually eats a left hooks gets sent to the canvass.

Never rated him but I thought he was perhaps a bit better than what tonight revealed in all honesty
He looked terrible vs a shot 140lb fighter who had one leg and whose punch resistance has seemingly been going for a few years now.

I don't know who he beats.

There is no way Benn can beat any top 15 rated fighter by any organization

[landotter]

Benn 100% will get a title shot. Why wouldn't any title holder take it? Off that performance, Benn will not be favored and he does not apeear to have any real power to be a serious worry.

Have always been a big fan of Prograis. The man has been a good champion, has a very respectable resume, has been in some fun fights, and has a career to be proud of. Hope the people who care about him talk to him about hanging it up. Nothing but bad things can happen from here.

He had the best reaction to eggs known to man

Benn is just an average scrub with a famous name , all this talk about $15,000,000 I am very skeptical about , maybe it’s what he could earn if he performs but on that club performance I doubt weather they offer him 5% of that in the future, the public would be fools to fall for that crap again but then the British fight casual are easily mugged .
