Thoughts on Connor Benn

I think he's vastly improved and is looking better and better. He's stopped trying to be his dad, boxes his way in nice and has terrific natural fluidity when letting his punches go. He's waffling about emulating fighters like Loma now - instead of tear-up merchants - so the penny has apparently dropped.

Now obviously his level of competition hasn't gone up that much, however, he's totally outclassing these guys now without putting a foot wrong or giving them a look in, which you would expect of any good prospect.

If he wasn't Benn's son, with Hearn and SKY you'd have to be a serious petty/jealous bastard to not be impressed.

Yeah he looked good. The right hander that he walked him into that started everything going was a beaut. That second knockdown was savage, should have been over then.

I said in the fight thread that Connor looked good and much improved, he's come a long way in a short space of time, he looked very poor when he made his debut but that is what you get when you make your debut with no amateur experience behind you.
I also said in the fight thread that it is hard to believe that he has only had 9 fights, I've just watched an interview where they are asking him about what he is learning from these fights and when is he going to step up, Connor said he isn't learning anything from them but at the same time you can't put him in with a 28 year old who is fully developed and experienced.

He's still a baby but he is certainly improving fast, still a long way to go.
