Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia, Conor Benn well into talks for summer showdown

[Corelone]

It'll be refreshing to see Benn get trounced by a legit world class fighter after fighting a washed up Eubanks and low level guys his entire career.

I just hope you're not talking about Ryan. He got KOd by Tank, knocked down by Campbell, knocked down and beat by Rolly. The low hanging fruit has a reason for being the low hanging fruit.

In the 1980s and 1990s, BUMs like Con Man Benn, Cryin Ryan and Rolls don't even come within sniffing distance of a legit welterweight title. Could you imagine any of these ass clowns in a boxing ring with Simon Brown, Donald Curry, Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Benitez or Palomino?

Seemed to be.

But Eddie Hearn says he has no interest in working with Benn? He's also heavily implied Zuffa have more options on him and he will taking legal action.

If that was the case, Eddie would have easily gotten an injunction to block Benn-Prograis, but he didn't. I think he knows better than anyone that Con Man Benn is a BUM and will eventually be exposed. I bet Boots is kicking himself right now for not clobbering this clown at 147 when he could have.

Benn left Eddie out of fear that he would eventually try to put him in with Boots.

Why not a Ryan and Devin rematch? I mean, isn't that a unification, as Haney beat the then wbo champion Brian Norman Jr.

That would just make too much goddamn sense!

Where would this fight take place? Vegas, New York or London.......????

Confused how this works.

Wouldn't Garcia have to be signed to Zuffa?

No not at all Oscar can promote

Eddy has a finger in every pie, he wouldnt give a crippled crab a crutch. Much less let someone gain after he did all the work. Benn is his creation, nobody is getting paid without Eddy getting his cut.

I like the crab story. Props.

At 147 Benn will look like an anorexic or ozympic actress.
Garcia will ko him; left hook round 6.

Well, he didn't get paid for the Progais fight, as of yet.

He has no obligation to get paid from him moving forward, I don't think.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of Zuffa?

They seem to just be backtracking on everything they say.

He was saying something to do with the "one fight deal" and the option to match or something like that. Meaning he couldn't do anything now legally, but after the fight he can. I really don't know, that's just what he was saying and/or heavily alluding to.

He was heavily implying some kind of back door chicanery was going on but again like I said I've no idea.
