    I'm trying very hard to think of who Heerden is but I'm really struggling.

    What's his ranking? Has he been in any decent fights?

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who still trust what Eddie Hearn says. He makes a living by filling people with lies.

    They’re all Matchroom fighters - just ignore Matchroom and you’ll enjoy boxing. I’ve unfollowed the Instagram account as it was getting unbearable. The final straw was a video called ‘GoggleBosh’ which was basically filming Johnny Fisher and his dad watching tele.

    There's no excuses in the next fight. Hooker, Sandor Martin, M.Garcia, V.Otriz and Mckinson are all DAZN fighters that would make for good fights.

    I've been happy with Benn's progress previously as he stepped in quality with each opponent till now with this South African guy being a step back.

    Hearn’s problem with Benn is that literally nobody will have heard of him in the states until he fights someone who is known there.

    Van Heerden fits the bill to increase Benn’s profile and then he’s the potential golden goose if he does a 5 round demolition of him. Which he probably will do.

    I like Benn as a fighter and you can see the path Hearn is leading him down. If he steps up to proper world level in his next fight though he’s gonna get an absolute pasting.

    The critique for this fight is understandable after all that over-the-top hyping by Hearn. But you have to remember that this is Benn's 5th fight in 17 months while all the other big names in the UK have fought once or twice. He's on a good run.

    Even that heavybag looks about 40 years-old and knackered.

    Big night for the WW divison

    Ugas vs Spence
    Butaev vs Stanionis
    Benn vs Van Heerd3n
    Crowley vs J.Lopez

    It would be interesting if Spence wins and likely moves up divison making 3 world titles available.
