Thoughts on Connor Benn

[GaMo]

I’m not saying Benn didn’t have heart because he obviously did! I’m just saying he was no more brave than his rivals. People give Benn credit for having heart and being a warrior but he was no more (or less) brave than Eubank or Watson in my opinion.

That's a bit like saying Gerrald McClellan was no more of a puncher than Julian Jackson.

And he wasn’t

You’re just repeating me. Both Benn and Eubank had heart (I have already said that) not sure why everything has to be spelt out more than once for you before you understand

My god this thread is exhausting

Nigel Benn did his job and showed great heart and courage.

I think it's just you going round in circles mate, so I'll leave it there.

Aaaaand back to Connor Benn.............................................. ..............

Young Benn looked so composed in recent fights then one cracking right-hand, a wild punchup, multi-knockdowns, a "robbery" and he's finished. Well that was the impression coming from the TV and the usual cabal of spastic internet boxing "fans."

Thought the pundits, Adam, Bellew, and Eddie were way too harsh on him.

1. It was a cracking fight.
2. He showed some goolies.
3. Who cares about the scorecards in a 6-round up-and-downer? Benn won the fricking fight, he scored two impressive knockdowns himself for gawds sake, just because Sky/Bellew had the other geezer nicking it, doesn't make it so.

Yeah, it shows he's not the next Loma or Rigo, but the poor sod was so apologetic afterwards it was as though his career was finished.

Lolz I cried fix in the fight thread however it was in jest? I didn't have it three rounds but it was a nothing fight so it didn't matter.

I agree with Eddie they shouldn't have had that fight so soon after the previous, if they had a rematch Benn would deal with him easy, he just had an off night is all.
