I agree, I'd happily watch it again. Courtney really impressed me tonight, used her skill to get herself out of trouble really intelligently. She deserved the win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he got handed his arse in the first one he had v Peynaud and they had to go back to the drawing board! I think he has a bit more about him now but he'd be nowhere near this level without his surname, because he wouldn't have been given the chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well I say fair play to Benn. Always got to be careful hyping Brit fighters but that was impressive enough. Give him Broner next and hopefully he'll destroy the *****. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Benn has really improved. He's got a good personality too - right mix of humble and brash. Broner would be a really good name. I think Josh Kelly could be a good fight for him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly improved though and is clearly being groomed for PPV by Eddie and Sky. 14 hours ago, B1ackbird said: Williams v Andrade, redemption for Williams? Will Andrade take it too easy?

Benn was sat bemoaning his lot and the terrible cruelty of being away from his family to earn sacks of cash before the fight- not sure that's very media savvy Also calling out Amir Khan after the fight? He might as well have called out Emile Griffith for the relevance Khan has now haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joshua is much better off the cuff. Occasionally on iFL or other interviews he can be much more engaging, usually when he's a bit annoyed. He's at his worst on Graham Norton or something, so out of his element! I can see why they'd like Khan for him based on profile. Doesn't look like Khan takes it too seriously anymore so could potentially be a big scalp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Extended interview with Benn on Bunce/Costello podcast before the fight and I have to say; I like him. It's true to say that he didn't have to get involved in a dangerous sport and make all of the undoubted sacrifices any pro boxer has to make. Will be interesting to see how far he can go as he accepted after the fight on Saturday, he isn't necessarily the most naturally gifted boxer, so is going to have to make up for it in spades with hard work and graft. Anyway, today should be the day of some news on Joshua/Fury. Hopefully rumours of the deadline for a June/July fight being missed, or even Fury taking a warm-up fight first, aren't true.

I was being a bit facetious about a fight with Khan- he'd be good on Benn's resume because of his achievements, of course. The thing is Khan's only any sort of major draw any more in his own mind. I heard him trapping on the other day about potentially fighting Brook at Old Trafford! Maybe in 2014, Amir. 5 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: Extended interview with Benn on Bunce/Costello podcast before the fight and I have to say; I like him.

Agreed, so don't sit there bloody moaning about it then! There's a decent case from Fury's point of view to shake off some rust before a Joshua fight. There must be a 5'4 Hungarian or similar eager to make some cash too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 24 and just had a kid, sounded to me like he was just letting out some frustration at not being able to spend much time with his newborn. I think that's understandable. I'll get on the blower to one of my Albanian builders!! Game as **** AND they accept cash! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
