Benn will have to keep up his pace and be willing to mix it up.

What is your outcome? From what you said I think you want Benn to win but understand that he needs to change what he has done previously.

I think they have a maybe similar style but Vargas has done it at a much higher level.

Benn will defo be lured into a tear up, if he stays back and picks him off I will be surprised

Good female fight but she shouldn’t be world champion.

Ranked around 9th in the rankings and gets a world champion shot?

Rachel Ball fight should be next.

Have to think Benn will adjust as needed. He should have more options of the two. But no doubt Vargas will be volume pressure. It'll be on Benn to keep busy pick his spots and get needed respect but not go wide and wild with it. Vargas will take 4 to get in 1 but last I saw he can keep it tight inside with counters and shows a bit of some old school guile. A tko for Benn would be massive if he's serious about running with the bigger names at 147 or he can stink it out and look for a Khan showcase at home :-X.

I cannot disagree with you mate. You have an absolute sound mind idea of how this should go.

My thoughts have always been that benn is hugely open to left hooks, and I do not think Vargas has huge LH power. However based on the Peynaud fight, I feel Benn will fall short here. Peynaud Is not Vargas and I have not seen enough improvement in Benn since then to think he can win.

But hey, I understand boxing, I have done for decades, however I am 50/50 all the time lol

Wow.

Oh wow Benn looks sharp as fuck

Oh my fucking god

Conor Benn stops Vargas in the 1st round. He was very sharp and fast. Impressive.

Benn improved so much between fights?! I am confused about how good that was.

Great speed and accuracy, very quick trigger by ref if you ask me. Time to come over and give it a go Conor.

Ma man I believe we were both predicting something different.

That is a huge statement / upset of expectations.

I am speechless.

I didn't expect that.

I've never taken him seriously before. I do now

I thought that at first but it was not just the accuracy of unanswered shots it was after the first one Vargas was not there and was taking perfect power shots... About 15 in total.

Yes he really has. His last 2 performances have been excellent nothing like the raw domestic fighter he was before the lock down. He has knuckled down and focused on learning the discipline of boxing. Improved his skills and looks destructive.
