    You got it Buggy! This kid has only managed a career off the back of his father's name which has opened a lot of doors for him.

      I see the other Benn son lost to someone who was 0-16, not a good sign

        These matchroom clowns finally stepped up to the big leagues in America and got exposed real bad.
        Panic attack? I didn't hear about that, did a source in his dressing room say that?

        Genuine question.

          Yes I'll give him a chance but there doesn't seem to be anything special about him. I think he'll struggle the higher he goes

              Everything he said was fair imo, but I still think Kelley would beat him pretty comfortably.

                Thank God for Callum Smith for saving British boxing and shame on Matchroom for bringing the UK into disrepute. If Yarde beats Kovalev all will be saved and Sir Frank Warren will lead us back to the top with DDD and Steve Bunce

                  Eddie denied it so it must be true!

                    Josh Kelly clearly beat Robinson but deserved to get the draw for his pathetic and boring strategy. I don’t think Connor Benn will land a punch vs Kelly. Even as a hype job without power, Kelly should win. Benn is a Sam Eggington style accident waiting to happen but he can **** a little so he might get beyond British level with careful management
