    He thinks it would be competitive.:risas3: The only thing about it that would be competitive is that Vergil would be trying to outdo himself and KO him quicker than he did Herrera.:sisi1

    I'm not even close to convinced Benn can beat McKinson.

    He's not. He struggled mightily in the second half against a completely shot Granados.

    I can see Benn stopping Algieri here in the middle rounds. A young hungry fighter beats a faded semi retired fighter all day long.

    All living on their fathers tailcoats.

    Hatton's son shouldn't be on any on these events again but he might be

    For what it's worth, Algieri looked like a million bucks in his last showing, against Mikkel LesPierre. Granted, that's nothing to brag about, but he performed about as well as Hooker and Pedraza did.

    As low as I rate algieri, probably prime algieri is the best thing connor has faced. At this point of algieri's career... well.... we will see..

    It's annoying that they picked Chris as the step up because he has no power. I hope he outworks Benn but his ring inactivity is too high.
