That was a pretty entertaining scrap, had Benn ahead 116-112, cards too wide for me, Benn aggressive from the opening bell but too overeager, missing a lot but Dobson didn't do much early thought he might be negative but he came into life in the 4th, started putting it on Benn and that 5th was one of the worst of his career, he took some big shots, Benn settled down in the second half, looked better , used the jab to set up the right hand and his attacks, Dobson is insanely tough though, was never hurt despite taking big shots, also pretty cute defensively as well, slipped and rolled all night, just wish he sustained more attacks, he had no problem hitting Benn clean and looked good rounds 9+10 but I thought Benn won the last 2, cracking fight but Benn miles off it

Good solid fight for Benn. He will benefit in the long run for that.
Unfortunately with the added scrutiny of PED use he most likely clean nowadays and thats resulted in a change of style that relies on work rate and not punch/power .. I really don't see him going too far nowadays. He has to meet a good puncher who will check that chin again.

Ready or not is FIRE bro….. amazing entrance song….. whether Conor is a fool or not.
I don’t even dislike him that much. He seems like a lost guy to me with all his silly tattoos and living in dad’s shadow. PEDs? Yeah but 90% of world class fighters are….

Did he not come in to Dangerous by Conroy Smith? He usually does after a few bars of Ready of Not.

Apparently talk of Conor taking on Tank.

I am unsure if that's Conor calling Tank out, or Tank seriously considering it. Seems a bit too far a weight jump for Tank for no real benefit.
