    Benn's got the physical attributes to get him out of a lot of holes and I was impressed with his stamina tonight.

    There's still a question mark over his power, he loads up but they're arm shots.

    Also he doesn't cut off the ring well, or fight well on the back foot. The inside game is also terrible.

    Hometown decision. Benn stronger and faster. Granados more skillful.

    I don't think he ever gets to World level.

    I'm not knocking the lad, he's clearly a grafter who wants to make a career for himself.

    But there are so many glaring deficiencies in his game and some of them are so basic it's untrue. As such I don't think 2 or even 5 years would be long enough to ingrain the necessary behaviours that would make him a true contender.

    Tony Sims is a good trainer though, he will help Benn more and more

    Benn is coming along a bit, like a crappy Jermell Charlo.

    He quite skillfully avoided landing any meaningful punches. Hell, if he displayed any more 'skills' he would have craftily not thrown a punch at all, the dastardly villain!

    h, you were just disappointed because you were hoping for more from Adrian, I was expecting what we got. Adrian definitely has an argument he swept 2 to 3 of the last 4.

    Benn has found his ceiling.

    And this is the best performance he can come up with despite travelling all around the world for sparring....

    It just shows that his boxing IQ is quite limited and he is a tattooed show boater who loves posing and talking like a hard man than actually refining his skills

    Even now I pick Khan over him. Pretty quickly too.

    The Charlos are master boxers compared to this clown.

    As expected Hearn is gonna milk this kid dry with past it, overrated boxers like Adrien Broner.

    Conor Benn as raw and wild as he is just needs to let his hands go enough and he beats Broner easily.

    I will never understand why the belts are different colours in women's boxing

    I swear on my soul that I knew he was going to say that when a Mexican runs/refuses to engage it means you can really dig or something along those lines and sure enough he did :risas3:

    Granados was on his bicycle all night but his movement gave him problems and Benn was swinging and missing an awful lot. He won well and wide enough though.
