Tough test for Benn this, unless he's sorted his basic skills out he'll lose this one.
Formella did well against Porter so a Benn win will tell us if he's really got what it takes to go all the way.
Undercard
MAIN EVENT: Conor Benn v Sebastian Formella – for WBA continental welterweight
Fabio Wardley v Richard Lartey
Liam Davies v Sean Cairns
Alen Babic v Tom Little
Ivan Price v TBA
I think we all expect the Benn train to derail at some point. Not sure if it's against this bloke though. He did alright with Porter but he made Shawn Porter look like a slickster. Technically Formella is alright but he's pedestrian and couldn't break an egg. Benn should be alright I reckon. He's done alright, the first Peynaud fight aside which was absolutely nuts.
Decent tester for Wardley.
I'm most looking forward to Babic beating the ever loving piss out of Tom Little. Little gets on my fucking nerves. The cunts on every social media channel known to man talking like he's been there and done that. fucking joker.
Thing with Conor is he starts off boxing fairly well then the Nigel in him comes out and he's wide open.
90% of the time he's in a proper fight though so great to watch.
To be honest if your losing to anyone named "Sebastian" your a cunt anyway. 😁
Can't work out whether Formella is good or bad value based solely on going the distance with Porter. However, if he made Porter look "slick" (I didn't see it) he must be slow as molasses with breeze blocks for feet. The Matchroom match makers obviously think it's a shrewd move.
Tom Little is about 6 stone lighter than normal and looks the spitting image of Babic, not that it should make a difference but still. In the press conference Little reiterated about 50 times he's not coming to lay down, which obviously means the first couple of solid cumps he takes he's laying down.
I don't like the fucker but give him his due. Little looking at the fight banner saying he (Babic) looks like he's going to hurt someone. I look like I've missed me bus. Was genuinely funny.
The presser yesterday was funny as fuck.
Babic saying "Alan likes you but the savage doesn't"
Should be a pub style tear up while it lasts.
Anna looking lovely as usual
You only watch it for her!:p;)Quote:

Benn starts very fast, sharp and accurate to win the 1st round relatively easy.
Benn is great to watch, but he will never get to elite level. Because he puts so much into every punch , he leaves himself too open. He’s trying too hard to be his Dad.
This guy Formella is slow as fuck.
This is the best I have seen Benn box. Excellent jab, good variety of punches and very fast to win the 2nd round.
2 nil Benn.
He went the distance with Porter, in case you missed it.Quote:

Formella getting busted up in the 3rd round by Benn, including an accidental head/elbow.

4 nil
Formella looks despondent now in the 5th just getting outclassed and beaten up by Benn in the 5th.
5 nil
Formella forces the fight in the 6th round and back Benn up. He wins the round let's see how Benn responds.
5-1
Formella comes forward again in the 7th round but Benn handles the pressure better by moving and boxing to win the round and back in control of the fight.
6-1
Benn has landed some bombs in the fight but does not have the power of his dad. Connor is a better boxer and wins the 8th and think it will go the distance.
7 -1
Conor busting up Formella in the 9th and his eye is swollen, very brave.
8-1
Ok Matt , we get it. Benn is learning on the job. How many fucking times does he have to say it? :rolleyes:
An improved Benn performance which is good to see. He wins the 10th and last round. Good variety and composure from Conor.
9-1 Benn.
Benn is great entertainment, he always comes for a tear up. But I fear if he fought Josh Kelly, it would be a different story.
Totally agree, Benn needs to calm down and take on the English champion first.Quote:
