    Either Keleher's very tough or Benn doesn't have the power to justify his ring name, cause this isn't a "destroyer" kind of performance.

    Round 2

    Keleher comes out like a Bull again and continue their war in the phone booth, Keleher catches Benn with more left hooks, Benn steps back and starts firing off clean combos and lands a few shots that stun Keleher.

    Benn 10-9

    He seems to slap with the inside of his glove quite often.

    Round 3

    Keleher not as a aggressive letting Benn walk into some uppercuts, he lands a shot that snaps Benn's head back, but Benn edges close round with slightly more activity.

    Benn 10-9 Close

    It's his second pro fight with limited amateur experience. Give the kid a break. :-(

    I always wonder if there are people in the Uk that actually like that commentary by those two idiots.:lol:

    Benn's garbage btw. Tries to be some sort of Eubank Jr but has no power at all.

    This was not an easy night for Benn at all, and all credit for Keleher for that. He took the fight to Benn and wasn't just a faceless name turned up to add to a resume. Benn was the superior fighter but it'll have been a good learning experiance for him if nothing else.

    Round 4

    Benn boxing intelligently and still Keleher works his way in and lands 3 punch combo rocking Benn's head back and forth, but Benn takes over and outboxes Keleher the rest of the round.

    Benn 10-9

    40-36 Benn wins

    maybe yes.

    but he already showed more skill as in his first fight so he might progress over time.
    The first couple of times I saw Eubank Jr I never expected him to get beyond British/Commonwealth class.

    The problem is he was a teenager against a man in there, he didn't look strong at the weight. He needs time to learn and mature before he gets chinned and gives up.

    Yeah its pretty weak right now, he looked decent tonight and Dickinson is a good scalp, but Ovill, Enzo and Bellew whip his ass at this point. Askin gave McKenzie troubles when they fought and he went 11 rounds with Glowacki so I doubt McCarthy could beat him yet either.

    Joshua is starting to get a big ego, he's going to be practically unbearable soon.
