    Eh, the reality is, the Granados match is a true level. And based on that he struggles with and loses to most of the people I said he does. There's levels, and there's a reason why he's being kept in and around this level against non punchers. Don't buy into the Eddie Hearn smokescreen.

    Nah, bring on the winner of Khan vs Brook. Benn calls them out cause he knows his level.

    No they don't, I am British and couldn't give a flying **** about him… and it's a bit rich that coming from you that overhypes your American melanin heroes day after day..

    I'm a big Benn fan and want him to do well but I would pick all of Bud, Porter, Spence, Garcia, Ugas, Ortiz, Boots and Kavaliauskas to beat Benn.

    Avanesyan is a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

    Benn only 25 years old his best time is still to come,he has power & speed no-one can take that away.It's upto Benn if he works hard enough.
    This is how I see things.

    Yes, seriously. He did a better job against Ugas than Pacquiao did, and had him out on his feet twice. Ramos would mangle Granados just like he mangled Figueroa.

    I like to see British prospects go down the domestic dust up route against their fellow British prospect rivals first but E-Hearn has decided to bypass that and instead take Conor on an international seniors/featherfist tour who whilst being higher ranked are shopworn, warworn, and in the twilight of their careers and realistically pose little threat and when Conor invariably ''bangs them out'' or wins wide they then say well this world champion or elite fighter couldn't do that to them so therefore Conor>>said world champion or elite fighter and it makes fans feel like they're trying to pull the wool over their eyes.

    But, as said, he's really improved a great deal and he has good skills, power in both hands, accuracy, speed and a superb engine so why not stick him in with some young hungry world class contenders and prospects who can crack a bit? Even if he takes a loss it won't derail his career. Look at what his old man went on to achieve after losing via stoppage x 2.

    Lol, gotta love RBR nights on ESB at times. The passion alone could melt the ice caps.


    It's passionate enough on average nights like this... But when watching a BIG fight there's no place better eh lads?.

    Imagine a Fury/Usyk/Joshua in any combination that happens to take your fancy...

    Total meltdown....

    i think he looked good tbh do i think he will be a world champion? no not at 147 but hes done alot better then we all said he would do when he made his debut and first 5 or 10 fights.. time to give the guy abit of credit hes not a bum.. at the very least he could become british champ or european champ at some point in his career.

    He is the son of a huge knock out artist conor

    He is going to carry those genes

    Chris was ****ing mental taking this fight, he has barley fought for years is miles past his best, and now has taken a brutal and ugly ko. who knows what damage he has taken, a lesson to fighters if your retired stay that way if your past it.
