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

[Elastic Recoilz]

Benn is basically a 2nd generation fighter pushed to the max by Matchroom, Campbell Hatton was on the same path but he had nothing. Benn is fighting on these big stages but still lacks some major fighting instincts. He only started going to Prograis' body because Tony Simms told him to. He is a fighter who relies on aggression but he misses a lot and other than that doesn't have any significant attributes.

Benn would struggle at 147lbs, he'd be weakened and would get comfortably beat by all there. It'd make more sense for him to campaign at 154lbs but Josh Kelly would pick him apart with ease, Boots would put him to bed and a Fundora fight might be a career ending bloodbath!

Kelly is probably the best fight out there for him. Massive money with two UK fighters, stadium fight, not a huge puncher. He would probably get stopped but it wouldn't be the same level of unconsciousness that Boots or Fundora would bestow upon him.

it is not about skills anymore, it is not about much of anything besides name req so that they can sell the fights to the platform heads is all....................

yes conor has some skills which he needs but he has a massive name which gets him his big fights

Dana Shyte made a great investment in Eggboy Benn!

Name Req is all that a lot of these platforms are looking for right now, no one is really looking to build and take chances with fight cards much anymore. If a really big fight breaks out it is more by accident then anything sure is not from looking to match the best with the best and bringing it to the fans on easy access....................Notice how all fighters seem to be aging on these cards ? More 37 year olds then ever esp in the past few months i notice without even trying. If 60 can sell then 37 is the new 22 yo..........................

Josh kelly - Benn would be a huge Uk stadium fight.
