Is it on Sportsnight?

[Stuarty]

Don't know anything about him. Looking forward to the card as a whole though. Something different for middle of the week.

[jamamb]

well hes almost top 400, so on paper a big step up from last guy

World champion kickboxing. Also fought on glory k1 and has done muai Thai. My brother fought against his brother kickboxing over in France. They are from a small town and focus more on the kickboxing side of things. I can imagine him being tough but end of day he's over here as they fancy Conor to blow him away.

Stick Benn in with Chris Kongo

Great theme tune btw.

Some Duff/Astaire card from the Albert Hall, Midweek Football and the occasional Greyhound card from Wembley or somewhere. Des Lynham in the chair.............Wednesdays were good!!!

Gola shorts and mustaches.

Looks like a minor step up

[horndawg80]

On Sky Sports, they are still hyping Conor like he’s the next Mike Tyson!

The panelist’s are saying how much he’s like Nigel.

For starters he’s too short for 147lb! He might make British level but he’s not going past that

Going into round 5...not going quite to plan!

[milpool]

Whatever the result, that was a great scrap!

[thepocketrocket]

Conor by three....seriously?

[milpool]

Conor by three....seriously?

I think he's been the recipient of a bit of favourable scoring there...!

Well, you get 'Thepocketrocket award for understatement of the night'!

[Stuarty]

That was an atrocious score from that Ref! Absolute fuckin garbage! I had the French dude 56-54. Utter disgrace man!

[Exoddus]

Bellews card was spot on. That fight was 100% a draw.

[milpool]

So it would seem that it was scored...

7-10
10-9
10-9
10-9
10-8
10-9

Not sure Benn won five out of those six rounds.

[skanksta]

2 KDs each and a close, hard fight - I don't mind CB winning, it's just the 57-54 makes it look a bit 'decided beforehand'

Personally, I gave the Frenchman only 1 KD in R1, but the ref called 2 and he's scoring.

[jamamb]

just shows how much work benn still needs. all the kos of utter crap was window dressing. even this 419 ranked 5-4 was giving him very tough night.

Ben got a 2nd KD in R6 - would be 10-8

Actually, I've got that wrong, Benn scored two knockdowns, so I think it would seem he was given three out of six rounds...with one even.
Still don't agree with the scoring though.

[Exoddus]

I scored it.

10/7
10/9
10/9
9/10
8/10
8/10

55-55 a draw. If Peynaud stayed on his feet in either the last 2 rounds he would have won on my score card.

Got to be a rematch though.
