    Lewis Crocker - fight wasn't even televised at the weekend!
    Mark Heffron

    Warren needs to give these two ^ the 'Yarde and Dubois' treatment.

    Scott Fitzgerald with Hearn as well.

    Agreed. They really need to show more of this lad. Wished they’d stop keeping him under wraps and let us watch (what is essentially) his amateur career unfold. A few articles about him on the sky sports website wouldn’t hurt either...Bellew & Nelson could bang the drum a bit too, and make comparisons to his dad. How he’s going to be a world champion etc.

    Pull your finger out Eddie/Sky!

    I can’t believe hes 12 fights in and hasn’t headlined his own show yet. It’s a disgrace.

    Conor Benn is a great shout.

    Has had almost no promotion whatsoever.

    Even since that thrilling contest against the French pastry chef who was bouncing him off the canvas like a basketball, it’s almost as if they are promoting him even less than before.

    After coming through such a stern test he deserves more coverage

    I agree with Scott Fitzgerald. Commonwealth gold medalist, looks a solid pro, good looking lad (no homo). Should be pushed more.

    Here's a legit thing that just happened at work. Someone asked me what i thought of Conor Benn and I gave an honest assessment. I said he isn't very good at all but he is fun to watch at least. But he isn't even at area level and is a full time fighter fighting part time fighters, often struggling with them. Dude couldn't believe it, said he was nailed on to be a world champion.
    We then got speaking about Brook-Khan and he said he became a Brook fan when he beat the irish fighter at Wembley in 'the big rematch'

    He thought Brook was Froch and Groves was Irish

    I like Chris Kongo, I'd like to see more of him on live TV shows.

    I want to see Kongo Vs Conor Benn.
