    just seen a talksport article which supposedly had pics of his best looking body ever.

    I clicked it and he looks like an old, soft version of his prime self. plus it's probably been made worse by the vegan diet his dumb son's put him on.

    not looking good i'm a afraid. I kind of fear for the guy.

    Your correct it's not looking good.

    When you listen to him talking he sounds punchier than a deflated speedbag.

    And people say dave Allen is beyond help yet can't wait to watch this circus.

    Only last week the sport suffered a terrible loss and Benn is still going ahead, shame on him.

    Been watching a lot of old and new Nigel interviews due to this upcoming fight

    Hes a top guy

    Highly deluded though

    His sparring and pad work that he has released, well, its just a KO waiting to happen

    Chin is constantly in the air

    Its a shame the odds are so lopsided, its not actually worth betting on, just on the offchance the other guy is extra shot and Nigel does clip him

    Is anyone actually planning on buying the stream of this?
    There's zero chance I'd give my credit card details to a company with a grand total of 72 followers on their Twitter page, and only a slightly bigger chance that they'll be able to provide a reliable stream!

    Benn looked the bollocks 5 years ago in training, but has massively declined on recent clips. Ridiculous veganism too has no doubt taken a lot of sharpness and explosion away.

    Take this fight along similar lines to Andrew Flintoff's boxthing career, KSI v Pope John Paul 2 and Fury in WWE.

    All about PPV pie - nothing else matters.

    Surprised people are taking this serious making comments about Benn's physique, what he has left in the tank or power.

    Old man looking for quick bag of PPV loot - will save him many hours on the 'Evening with Nigel Benn' circuit.

    I wonder, if Benn wins and does it in style does he continue fighting or is this the last one.

    Does anyone else think Hopkins would have been a far better choice of opponent for Benn than bika

    -clearly has very little left
    -not a puncher
    -bigger name
    -mature enough not to take the **** and try hurt old benn

    I actually wouldnt have minded that for a fight if Benn must do this.
