    Sod that. If he fought any top name and lost they would spin that into a win, no experience, no amateur record etc etc

    Let him get beat by somebody he sees as beneath him.

    Hearn is going to have to do a ****ing packet getting benn out in Feb.

    He won't be fighting in the UK as just ain't worth the heat so he has to go back to the US again where he doesn't sell s ticket.

    Also gotta make 147 for the first time in nearly 2 years which will be a struggle.

    Could see him getting beat

    What other fighter have you ever seen in his position without fighting a single top domestic rival? The biggest manufactured hype job I think I've seen.

    Felix Cash hasn't had a proper fight in 20 months, his last fight was a year ago.

    Craig Richards not seen for 18 months.

    Noticed that Craig Richards and Felix Cash are both no longer working with the Matchroom gym or Tony Sims. Craig is with Shane Mcguigan and Felix Cash I'm not sure about.

    I agree and at the same time I also feel a little sorry for Conor Benn. He has been made into something by Eddie Hearn which he is nowhere near.

    I heard that Conor Benn's father, Nigel Benn, is so angry with Eddie Hearn that he thinks Hearn needs a serious beating :)

    Is this the same Nigel Benn who would disown his own son of he was a drugs cheat?

    Almost like they are scared to test or under a ban.

    Astro don’t feel sorry for Conor Benn. I know you don’t like Hearn, but Benn failed 2 drugs tests. He’s a cheat in a sport where you can legally kill someone.

    If Matchroom were as concerned about testing as they make out, they'd have out-of-competition testing in place under UKAD and pay for it, rather than hoping for the BBBoC's allocation of tests to come find them.
