    **** sake, Conor Benn, honestly that last 10 seconds of that final round was probably one of the most pathetic things I have seen in a British ring for many a year.

    Standing there pretending that he is so annoyed the granados won't engage apparently that he stamps his feet like a little girl waving his hands knowing full well the fight is over and then when the bell goes he goes over and hugs his opponent.

    What happened to the so called genuine anger we are supposed to be buying Into ? ............

    Does he honestly believe he is in anyway fooling anybody with that ****.........

    Fact is conor landed his best shots every round on granados and couldn't make a dent, those are the facts, he is a bang average hype job and as soon as he does step up properly, he is getting knocked out, if you can't stop the likes of granados at the age of 40 or whatever he is the division top boys will massacre him.

    Does he think world level operators are just going to stand there and have a slug fest???

    Typical hearn hype job , his interview afterwards was worse than his performance, he thinks he is a big shot when the fact is he is nigel Benns son and that's all he will be.

    Might sound harsh but it's all an act if he was truly being himself maybe people would warm to him but he is at risk of becoming eubank junior and people wanting him to get beat.

    He has an impossible act to follow so he shouldn't even try. He will never be the dark destroyer mark 2 it's never going to happen, be yourself and stop pretending to be something your not!!!!

    His...." when a Mexican doesnt want to engage you know you can dig comment was truly delusional on a epic level!!!

    Benn think's he is his father. Nigel was in a different league to Conor. He will be destroyed the first time Hearn lets him face a live opponent.

    Absolute muppet.

    Wonder when he’ll fight someone in their prime who’s coming to win. I’m not expecting a world beater but someone like Kavaliauskas would do the job.

    Yeah thats a good shout, i think if he wants to show how good he is and have a proper war and wants somebody who will engage then why doesn't he fight avanesyan for the ebu, would be a good title to have ,....... oh wait!

    All Hearn used to talk about was Kelly v Benn should Kelly have beat Avanesyan, so why can’t we have Avanesyan v Benn?

    Can’t believe they get away with the amount of crap they talk.

    Granados made it hard and did not want a slug fest. That’s boxing. The one thing about Conor Benn is that he is true value for money. Forget about his dad. Benn would sooner engage and get iced, rather than dance round all night. He is a throwback in his own right. He is still in the early days of his career. He is on Dazn in his own right, not because of his dad. The kid is exciting.

    His personality grates on me but he knows what sells to the casual audience. He's clearly learnt a lot from the Tony Bellew's and David Hayes of the boxing World. Words over substance. That said, he is improving and whilst I don't think he's anywhere near world level he is fun to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing him in with someone who can at least dig a bit.

    You lot on here love to hate him. Praying on another man's downfall is what I find cringe.

    You couldn't be further from the truth I am not praying on his downfall at all I just wish he would stop all the bollocks and be himself, he talks like he is a top contender when he isn't.

    I have no problem if he spends the next few years building up to world level but he talks now like he is some feared man when in fact he is at the moment average

    I like Connor - the way he comes a cross and he is a entertianing fighter. That said Kavaliauskas would a take him apart at this point.

    Hearn is talking about Broner and Kahn next. Prior to this fight I thought Broner was winnerable fight for Benn but Benns failure to cut off the ring succesfully last night has me changing my mind. Kahn in his prime is a better fighter than Connor will ever be. However Khan is now shot and always had a glass jaw - that's a winnable fight for Connor and the smartest choice.
