Thoughts on Connor Benn

[Master]

Connor fights like his dad but does not have the punch power to carry it off or be as successful as his dad.

Connor must change his style and add more variety to his game.

I think you are all being very harsh. Hes only 19 so would expect him to grow and get stronger over the next few years. His dad debut was at 24 or something like that when he already had his man power. I agree he looks raw but I definitely see potential there. With regards him going pro now rather than staying in the amateurs I dont think it was a wise decision regarding his career but there seems to be a bubble in boxing at the moment (particularly in the UK) and he may have seen now the best time to cash in on his name. Someone questioned whether hed make 12-0. He may have made enough money to retire comfortably by then.
