Same way that some very average ams light up the pros because it just suits them.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑15 Sep 2023, 16:41ya different games true, some never catch onto the pros for some reason. i guess if youre pillow handed it doesnt help
Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
I scored both the draw and the loss to Hennessy jnr, but the loss could have gone either way TBF. (Worth noting the that the guy who beat Hennessy jnr also achieved a debatable draw with Florian Marku).
I thought the draw was a little harsh on Hennessy jnr.
Hennessy jnr does need to be brought along at the right pace, but fortunately he has a dad looking after him who will know when to step him up at the right time.

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
good post, Genuinely interested to see how far he can go. He's quite tall for the weight and seems to live the life, fair play to him.THEBUTCH wrote: ↑16 Sep 2023, 14:28 I scored both the draw and the loss to Hennessy jnr, but the loss could have gone either way TBF.

Fights off. Benn pulled out the fight and him and his manager (Lee Eaton) have parted ways.

Rightfully so. Surely he'd get more coverage for this fight than that fight vs the decent Indian guy in Dubai.smiling assassin wrote: ↑03 Oct 2023, 11:37 Fights off. Benn pulled out the fight and him and his manager (Lee Eaton) have parted ways.

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
He uses social media to talk shjt and get himself these fights and then pony’s himself and pulls out. He’s a strange kid. He would be more sorted to misfits boxingjameswilson wrote: ↑03 Oct 2023, 12:04Rightfully so.

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
Dead right about pillow handed , Lot will not agree with me , but i've always said if your not heavy handed and don't have a good chin you have no right turning pro , speed and tippy tap is for the ameteurs .jonp wrote: ↑15 Sep 2023, 16:43Same way that some very average ams light up the pros because it just suits them.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑15 Sep 2023, 16:41ya different games true, some never catch onto the pros for some reason. i guess if youre pillow handed it doesnt help
Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
Disappointed for young Hennessy jnr. This would have been a good final stepping stone towards a Southern Area title fight.
Hopefully he can put the disappointment to one side and move on.

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
disappointing, was hoping to see Hennessey batter Benn
Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
Apparently the fight isn't completely dead in the water just yet, but it does seem unlikely Benn will go through with the fight.

I like Hennessy Jr and his sister Fran. They are extremely polite and courteous when being interviewed….handsofstone wrote: ↑10 Oct 2023, 11:11 Hennessy's now fighting Joseph Laws, forget about the levels that's a belter of a scrap tbf
I will follow their careers closely and hope they do well for themselves.
I think Hennessy Jr v Joe Laws ia a great
Domestic scrap.

14 minutes of joe laws talking = 14 iq points lost
Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
Hennessy strikes me as a nice fella. He's quite skilled too. Would like to see him do well!

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
indeed. Joe desperately trying to talk himself into some semblance of relevance. Rylan Charlton will be high in my esteem for sparking him and in turn shutting Bellew up, albeit briefly before he ventured off to safety/his wife and kids.

Laws will try and head into misfits boxing after this clearly.

Re: Michael Hennessy Jr vs Harley Benn
Aren't Hennessy and Laws in very different weight divisions?
