    Did Connor Bumm just call out Khan? It can't be more embarrassing than that. Wow. Ridiculous.

    The glassiest guy on the planet...coming off a terrible KO and fighting like once in 10 years. What - a - joke.

    Benn sure has power, but at 34, and considering how awful he looked against Ennis, not sure what van Heerden actually had left in the tank at the very end of his career.

    Where to rate Benn now? He is powerful, and has about the same (somewhat limited) skillset as former European champion Kerman Lejarraga, who was stopped by Avanesyan. Thus, he genuinely seems to be European level and a fringe contender.

    Brook next? Or still too dangerous?

    Khan seems to enjoy the idea though of being KO one last time for the right bag...

    I love that they're trying to sell a Khan fight for all it's worth, and it's greeted with a ocean of boos. Hearn is pure scum.

    It's clearly not a coincidence Benn hasn't fought a puncher yet when you take a gander at the KO% of his opponents. Avanesyan doesn't have a spectacular KO% himself but he can crack a bit. Hence why E-Hearn has an aneurysm everytime his name is brought up to him

    Please god not shot Khan next

    Nah thats not what i mean. Benn has talent and hes very explosive which makes him fun to watch. I think hed match up very well with a guy like avanesyan next. Danny is probably moving up to 154 soon so i dont think that fight will happen..

    He calls out Brook and Khan... :risas3::pipi:risas3::risas3::risas3::risas3:

    Connor Bumm is just a total joke.

    **** this guy and Mismatchroom. What a clown show.

    It's like Conor McGregor beating up the old guy in the pub

    If Eddie Hearn has the brass balls to bang on about a big step up and then bring part time boxer Broner over here I'll be annoyed. I want to see him in against Avanesyan next.

    Nah... he's absolute trash and gets sparked the first time he fights a puncher who isn't moribund.

    Hearn wants to cash Benn out vs Khan because he fears he might lose to Avanesyan.
