After the strange sudden hype train from Sky that goes and happens! Scorecards a joke... Although he dug deep and did well to turn it around, it’s shown he has balls but needs mountains of work. He’s too small for welterweight for me, needs to go to super lightweight and not have Sky forcing him down our throats so he has less pressure and can learn. Think he’s got a terrible attitude as well from his social media, hopefully this has bumped him down to earth.
He obviously didn't look great but showed loads of guts and he deserves a lot of credit for turning that around.
For me he wasn't exposed as I never rated him, balls to fight back though certainly. If his name was John Smith, no one would be mentioning him for a title after that fight let's be honest. I know he's young and that but for me he hasn't improved much, he can have a good career but forget anywhere near world honours. If that was a decent British level fighter he was in against tonight, he'd almost certainly of been stopped.
Disgusting scoring, once he moves up in class there is no doubt Conor will be in alot more trouble than he was tonight.
He showed good heart after being knocked down twice. The Frenchmen absolutely deserved a draw, just bad scoring. Great 6-rounder and I hope to see a rematch.
Scoring was a joke I had it a draw it’s hard for a ref to score a fight that is as actioned packed as that though in his defence. At what point our 3 scoring judges used? Is there a set rule? How many rounds the fight is over etc?
I'll find my quotes when I have time.. But I kept saying Conor Benn has a glass jaw, that's why they won't stick him in with (and haven't) anybody who can punch whatsoever. Also the scoring for that fight was disgusting.
If he stays at welterweight and continues to fight like that he will be destroyed at higher levels. He may go to British level - but no higher in my view.
Thought he dug deep to turn that round and I thought he did enough to win it in the end Didn’t really box, he just wanted to brawl, he has no chance past British level if that’s his plan going forward Didn’t hear what the corners were saying but surely they encouraged him to just box especially after he went down twice? And if they did, he didn’t listen
