Conor Benn - What Next?

[tonyevs]

Pressed to concede that the “smart thing” to do is to give the Board the 270-page document, Morgan asked, “What stops you?”

“My pride,” Benn responded. “My pride. The way they've dealt with this.”

How exactly did they deal with it?

They stopped the fight, that's fair. they're expecting to do that.

They never stripped him of his license (Benn gave it up)..

They never banned him (Benn already stripped his own license)..

What have the BBBofC done wrong?

Rightly or wrongly, Connor thinks he is 100% innocent. Maybe he thinks they should believe his innocence?

Being brought up extremely rich and the privilege that naturally brings has likely instilled that expectation that people must believe whatever he says.

You can't tar everyone's upbringing with the same brush, just because of their family wealth. Well, you can, but it would be complete nonsense.

Chris Eubank Jr: Conor Benn ‘100% a cheat’ after Piers Morgan

Chris Eubank Jr. reacted to UK rival Conor Benn’s interview with Piers Morgan, stating he was now sure of his guilt.

Chris Eubank Jr. says Conor Benn is a cheat

After witnessing the discussion, Eubank Jr. said: “I was 99% sure Conor Benn was a cheat, but after watching that interview with Piers Morgan, now I’m 100% sure.

“Imagine failing two drug tests and then trying to play the victim? The balls on this kid!! Or should I say, the eggs on him?”

He clearly doesn’t think he’s 100% innocent. He knows he’s 100% guilty which is why he’s so desperate to obfuscate matters without ever releasing the “evidence”.

Well, neither of us know his actual mental state.

You missed the "has likely" bit from my comment

Nope, didn't miss it. You still made a rather large assumption.

*keithmoonhangover - was definitely an expression of my view. So opinion it is

[Nightmare Roy]

Well the interview is definitely winning people over skip to 9.15

[deadpan]

I believe Benn.

Are you kidding?? Mr Benn's story was more believable.

One for the teenagers there...

[keithmoonhangover]

That describes your post perfectly. I couldn't have put it better myself. Thanks for that.

[Counter-puncher]

oh yeah, CEJ is only 'trying' to play the victim, after all it's not as though he wasted a whole training camp, and killed himself to get down in weight lower than he'd ever been, and paid for sparring partners and all the rest of it, only to be left earning ABSOLUTELY FVCK-ALL because some kvnt failed a drug test oops i mean some knt failed two drug tests.

note how man-child Benn can't stand anyone else being seen as the victim, what a complete knt.

The forum is full of assumptions. Apart from results, very, very little of it is fact.

THIS ^

It's insane that nobody is stopping him from all of these contemptible comments. He's making AJ's post Usyk fight tirade seem like Rocky on the mic after stopping Drago.
I don't expect Benn Jnr to read those 270 pages, but FFS READ THE ROOM.

'Oi Conor, you've dropped something. Your self-awareness.'

[Counter-puncher]

'he's trying to steal my victimhood!' #imthevictimhere

[TheLeprechaun]

At this point I kind of feel bad for Conor. He doesn't have the intellect to understand how what he's doing makes him look more guilty and makes him look like an utter pratt. It's really cringeworthy to see interviews like the Piers one and his trying to be the victim. I think it's coming down to lack of intellect at how he is being perceived which makes me back off a bit. You'd almost wonder if he has a disability of some kind at this point.

[margaret thatcher]

agree, coming across as a bit 'special'

[Frostieballs]

You really do have to be 'Special' to double down when you have been caught out.

Someone needs to put an arm around him and say look, just fess up, pay your penance and you can come again.

He cannot see that in the scale of things going on in the world that this all really means nothing. HIs pride is hurt and he has gone all manly and wants to fight his corner... but his story will be fish and chip paper soon and if he goes about things quietly, this could all have a whole different perspective in 2-3 years.

[Counter-puncher]

Could be he’s ‘special’ in some way, or it could be he’s just a nauseating little man child with narcissism exacerbated by some significant ups and downs in his testosterone levels.

Nah, drug cheats have their whole careeers tainted by it, especially if they were pinged more than once.
Once can maybe be excused depending, but two separate ones and your marked for life.
Everything he has done, and will do in the future of his boxing career will have "drug cheat" hanging over it.
Look at Jarell Miller, pinged twice, multiple drugs, will always have his achievements questioned, now and on the future.

Fury… Whyte… never even gets mentioned. Despite plenty of shenanigans in the background …
