    Less skilled than Fury and AJ.

    Just a proud dad talking up his son, however Conor has vastly improved. Shame he is in such a tough division for young up and comers.

    I like the Benn's, they come across as humble guys. I hope Conor has a successful career.

    Nigel is humble especially when he loses. His son wasn't at all today.

    I loved Nigel and want to support Conor because he has vastly improved and it's obvious to anyone who watched his early fights how much better hes got but as soon as I hear him speak I think he sounds like an absolute dick.

    I get the impression that he wants to take on the toughest challenges and not make a career off of his dad's name, I respect that.

    Going from Vargas to Khan is a good career move, it gets him a mass amount of spotlight as Khan is still a star in the UK and it should be quite an easy fight for Benn. Khan won't take it anyway but it would be great to see Benn ice him.

    Conor Benn just beat a shot Samuel Vargas who has been stopped multiple times and didnt throw a single punch back.

    ....all of a sudden he is Top Dog?

    Brook might be too big for him.

    Khan might still be too far for him in the first few rounds and be able to put him down


    Benn did not look huge last night; small shoulders, small frame and small head.

    I dont think he is the power puncher people make him out to be either.
