    Could the cheerleaders at Sky be any more cringeworthy than they've been with some of their KO of the year nominations?

    Conor Benn? What. The. ****. How on earth can that not only be in the top 10 but currently second place? Wake the **** up people of Britain.

    I bet they have left out the fact that his opponents were part time fighters with no chin's

    Absolutely scandalous that they think him knocking out whoever he did should be compared to top tier champs KOing other champs.

    Matchroom have really jumped the shark with Conor Benn. That people have voted for it is the worst thing about it though. Conor Benn over Mikey knocking out Dejan? Those people need to be KO'd for that.

    Conor Benn couldn't make a sky top 10 list. The guy is a nobody who has only ever KO'd nobodies.

    It's just KOs that happened on Sky so the options are limited. That said, the Benn bodyshot KO does look out of place, as does the Taylor one given opposition.

    And even if you think it was in the top 10 on Sky how on earth could anyone vote for Conor over say Mikey?

    Sky's coverage of boxing is one of the main reasons I hardly watch boxing now . Their coverage is so overwhelming biased any semblance of objectivity is just a distant memory. Adam smith and johnny nelson are so cringeworthy I turn the sound down . The over use of PPV cards is scandalous but it's only happening because boxing fans have been to easily parted with their money come on fights like bellew vs haye PPV !!!.

    Absolutely ridiculous, this will backfire massively on Sky and Conor Benn.

    Boxing fans are not stupid, we know what we are watching and sooner rather than later there will be a backlash.

    If that is in the top 10 KO's of the year then I actually believe the vote isn't genuine, it must be either fixed or the vote has been manipulated.
