    Lmfao! Wishful thinking at best. When shields shuts her out I don't want to hear any excuses.

    Possibly who knows? Because someone may be a much lower level than someone, they can still hit harder, for example Roy Jones said that Merqui Sosa hit him the hardest

    Shields only has two knockouts, Savanah has better body mechanics.

    **** stoppage. Ref should have allowed him to fall and get back up.

    Conor Ben came accross as a twat in the post match interviews.

    benn now maybe you could make the argument he’s getting his man strength and his power is growing but I’ve seen benn go the distance with a lot of low level journeymen don’t forget how Porter was seen as a big puncher when he was first coming up till he went up the levels.

    benn hasn’t even got up the levels yet and his power is questionable. So I don’t think you can make the statement that benn definitely puncher’s harder.

    also you don’t need to point out how Porter fights to me seeing as I’ve already given you a detailed answer based on porters fighting style on why I think he would beat benn.

    your still yet to give me a breakdown apart from a well you just never know type stance or why you think it’s not crazy to think benn could beat him,

    Typical early Brit ref intervention stoppage.

    Still a Great performance by Benn

    Ortiz vs Benn let’s see it!

    Why is he calling out Khan, he's shot and hasn't fought for nearly 2 years. Khan would never entertain it anyway, he's avoided Brook for years.

    Why doesn't he call out Avaneyson?

    The Matchroom cringefest continues, Courtenay a World Champion and Conor Benn is now going to be the latest PPV draw because he took out a guy who was terribly on the slide before the fight with a record of 2-3 from his previous 5 fights. The backstorys and everything else are getting way too much now. As for calling out Khan and some people getting carried away saying that he'd beat any version of Khan, can you imagine Conor Benn going over to America and getting some of the wins that he got? Benn vs Maidana, that wouldn't have ended well for the kid from the gutter.

    Semi-serious question: it seems like those implants make uppercuts much more difficult, could they represent an unfair advantage?

    Somehow, Matchroom cards are getting worse.

    Conor Benn now touted as a PPV star and would beat Shawn Porter because he beat a veteran punchbag in Vargas, Savannah Marshall beating someone who’s about to draw her pension in the co-main and 2 birds barely above white collar level fighting for a world title.

    Your optimistic I think they think that fights ppv ! Notice way Benn, Hearn Sky mention past their best fighters like Brook, Khan and Broner and say the top boys in division. No the top boys are Crawford and Spence.
