    Him and Ohara Davies were pretty much offering to spar anyone in the Mayweather gym regardless of weight. I think that sparring vid proves he's willing to spar guys much heavier than him.

    He's improved a lot since those amateur fights.

    Only time will tell..

    You think that Welterweight was sticking it on Junior?

    O Hara was offering to spar anyone at Mayweather gym yet got his arse handed to him by Burns lol:lol:

    Na not really look at Ashley theophane he got a deal not because of his boxing ability that's for sure same thing with Benjamin or what ever his name is which changes every month...these dudes work hard in the gym mayweathers motto hard work dedication sums both up .....watched Benjamin last vid of sparring he was doing fine until he took a body shot then he went to pieces and those are with 14oz gloves on with 8oz im not so sure careful matchmaking is essential with this youth not sure he will get it though.

    Yeah but according to tunde if you can spar there, you can spar anywhere yet as soon as O Hara went to Sim's gym he realised how far behind he was and moved there ASAP

    That could be the case to be fair. Although I do think Tunde is a very good coach and I think Ohara could still have progressed very well if he stayed put.

    Spencer Fearon knows his stuff and I definitely trust his judgement on Tunde and Junior.

    This is how the cancellation was announced on Twitter yesterday:

    It is with great regret that Junior Benjamin's scheduled fight of Saturday 13th September 2014 at the Mayweather vs. Maidana bill has to be postponed.

    There are several reasons behind this decision and given that it was taking place on the biggest boxing stage, it wasn't an easy decision to make.

    Junior's next appearance will be planned and agreed with our promoter, Mayweather Promotions. This w...ill be announced in due course.

    In closing, we would like to thank everyone for their support and apologise for any inconvenience this decision may have caused.

    Thank you,
    The Stamina for Sale Team

    Just another young idiot who thinks May is the greatest, and has adopted his pad work.

    The little segment on him on 'Ringside' was cringeworthy!
