Know he portrayed Sonny Liston on film. That's all.

He ran out of steam against the Italian kid, who came over here and fought Enzo Maccarinelli.

Decent skill set, but he had no stamina and a Duane Bobick chin. I remember Lemontagne(sp?) taking everything he had and stopping him late. It's been quite a while but I think it was his first loss and from there things went down hill in a hurry. Not unlike the more celebrated and talented Andrew Maynard.

Quite a lot of hype when he turned pro but suffered some terrible losses. P4P an even bigger Olympian bust than Dante Craig.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Decent skill set, but he had no stamina and a Duane Bobick chin.

Re: Any one know much about former 2000 olympian Michael Bennett
i used to see dude fight on the prelims
he had skills and some pop but point blank he had no chin...the ko loss to rich lamontagne was one of the most brutal ive seen on national tv...straight folded up ..its good that he retired..he wasn't going to become more than a journeyman in the long run

that his 3rd loss..he was ko'ed 2 other times in the first round by average journeymen (with 3-4-1 and 7-2 records repectively) before lamontagne...his final ko loss to hearn marler was in the same vein as the lamontagne fight as he was leading on all 3 cards but stopped lateSaadOffTheDeck wrote:Decent skill set, but he had no stamina and a Duane Bobick chin.
