To be fair he said he's not taking fights that he thinks he's more likely to lose than win. Prices talk always fools me though so probably down in the first
He's been the distance against some decent'ish competition (far higher than Benns level). Could be potentially worth an outside bet, depends if he comes with any kind of ambition. Saying that the rest of his record looks quite poor, has beaten mainly boxers with little wins or poor records. Looks shrewd matchmaking on Benns behalf. Sky will say this guy has fought Lerraja and the guy who KOd Hatton on his comeback fight and gone the distance, guaranteed in the commentary. Then compare Benn to them!
Conor Benn is full of wrath, He'll take it out on Laszlo Toth, The commentary will kiss his arse, And on will go the Conor Farce,
The fact toth has gone the distance against the decent competition he has faced and only has wins over limited competition with poor records. I'm more inclined to think he will be someone who will look to survive then win. Also he's been an opponent for those decent opponents when either they've been relatively unexperience still, or coming not long off a loss. Guarantee Sky are going to go down the route that he's taken the guy who KOed Hatton the distance 'so that's the kind of level he's operated at (insert co-commentator here)' cue Adam smith.
Going the distance doesn't qualify you as a suitable opponent imo.My first question when an opponent is named is .Who has he beat? 3 wins over debutees and16 over men with losing records.
Will this be sky's lowest sold PPV for years? Casuals won't know much about Taylor and especially Prograis. The irony is that it's a quality fight.
Think Loma v Campbell had a low buy rate. Reckon this will do more. The fact that the main event is a “final” will probably get the casuals more interested than a normal world title fight. And Chisora v Price is defo a draw for the casuals.
