    The reason I don’t like him isn’t because he’s a Matchroom fighter but because he’s an absolute bellend.

    For example, I doubt you’d get anyone on here saying anything bad about someone like Luke Campbell and he was promoted by Hearn his whole career.

    Been ducking Bud for years, terrible excuses, get homer favourable decisions (Porter), always drunk, and disrespectful of other fighters.

    Nigel Benn was a bellend for a lot of his career too. He had a bit of an Indian summer and is far more popular now than he was in his first title run, but plenty people were backing Eubank against him back in the day.

    Similarly unnecessary “angry man” attitude in father and son. The old man probably got it from chemicals at the time, junior just seems to have rehearsed it.

    Not sure what the point of that fight was? Shot to pieces fighter who wasn't all that anyway and doesn't have a decent enough dig on him to keep an opponent honest. Benn was always going to walk through him. The lad isn't getting challenged at all.

    As for your first point it takes two to tango and Bud was as much too blame.I love Porter but he lost that fight and who doesn`t like getting drunk?

    Had Spence beating Porter quite comfortable and how do you know he’s always drunk?

    Nigel Benn was aggressive because of the death of his brother. Conor has nothing to be aggressive about.

    Spence is actually a likeable guy cos he’s a top operator and humble about it. Benn is not likeable cos he takes the **** out of disabled people and talks like it’s inevitable he’s going to win a world title. His accent and his promoter don’t do him any favours either. Walking through opponents in 2 rounds is not going to prepare him for opponents like Spence and Crawford is it?

    He won every round basically including when he got dropped. The Argentian did look dangerous with his overhand though.

    He banjo'd Bradley Skeete q good few years back
