    In a sport where the tiniest split second mistake can mean the difference from being conscious and out cold, a win and a loss, puncher avoidance is a thing. I don't have a problem with them taking their time and moving him slowly but they're obviously keeping him away from punchers or anyone who can punch a bit and there's really no reason for it because he's talented and he needs those kind of tests.

    Yeah, to be fair, he's extremely dedicated and trains like a demon and has a crazy engine on him.

    Just going to add my thoughts on this one..

    Good win, good performance but..
    ...let's not get carried away. Algieri was never an elite welterweight, nor a world-level one. He was better at 140 than 147. Eddie/DAZN were twisting the narrative and twisting it to an absurd degree. Benn is NOT ready for a world title.

    Try that against Avanesyan. There won't be any highlight reel knockouts there and Benn will have to box his way to a hard-fought decision if he wants the win.

    Not taking anything away from Conor Benn. His performance was great and he got the KO faster than Spence did. But there are many levels above this and he has yet to pass true tests.
