Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Gets Off The Floor, Goes Through Fire To Win

If he is getting rocked this early in his career then he has no future in boxing. Let him go to college and seek another career.

Needed a fight like this early in his career. At least we know he has heart now.

The so called heart will lead to nothing but Parkinson's. The boy shouldn't be getting caught this early considering the careful match making. He is a bum and should quit before someone takes him to the A&E or mortuary.

he looked horrible

his balance is off, he doesn't punch hard, he just throws punches for the sake of throwing punches, he doesnt see what is coming back

he is like a poor mans porter and maidana

he just got put down by a guy who was brought into to make him look good

yea his dad was a great boxer, but i just dont see anything spectacular in him

you could see that Eabank Jr had something special about him early on...

It's on YouTube if you've missed it

Thanks. Just watched it. Conner lost this, he ate right hands all night. He won the second close and the fifth for the knockdown, but that's it. Frenchy took it. Bad call.

Benn lost the fight for me.

Dropped twice, hurt, busted up against a 5-4-3 journeyman.

He ain't going far.

he just throws punches for the sake of throwing punches

No technique, just throw. Just go out there and throw.

This just goes to show that you can't buy talent,even though he sure has tried.

Disagree, he didn’t have much of an amateur career so he’s learning on the job, he knows this as does everyone around him. He would have just earned more than half a years salary for a first year graduate doctor in one night so I don’t think he needs to be thinking about a career change just yet (especially if you hear him speak, let’s just say he’s not going to make it through med-school).

Give him a break guys, he shouldn’t even be in the news, it’s only because of his dads name we’re even talking about him. Let him try to build like any new pro, he’s stayed very active this year, learnt a lot, is humble about where he’s at, haters got nothing to throw at him. He had a very bad night, he got his game plan all wrong against bigger, gamer guy who hasn’t been KO’d before, so the tactics were well off and he’ll learn from that.

Fighters should not be fighting 5 times a year, especially a month apart.
