Is Connor Benn off The Naughty Step?

[gilgamesh]

He done well to try and come across humble after the bout but we all know what hes really like

He had no choice but to come off like that

I take my hat off to him, he tried to win the fight off his hatred for Jnr, but hes still an arrogant lemon

I'm sure promoters are extremely happy with the result. A good fight, a close fight. An easy to sell rematch. Worked out like a dream for the Promoters for sure.

Other than another cracking fight we might see.. the USP of the whole thing is done.

definitely. both men should be proud, and the promoters loved it 100%, but personally Benn just is what he is, he seemed alright years back but in recent years hes not likeable at all.

[goose 5]

Benn's display of heart has to have earned him massive respect. He's off the naughty step, in my book.

Can you clarify this last sentence for me please?

[Jimmy2025]

I'm bemused?

"The Panel concluded that it was 'not comfortably satisfied' that UKAD had proved that Mr Benn had committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation for the Use of clomifene. The provisional suspension previously in place has been lifted and the charge against him has been consequently dismissed.'

Both UKAD and the BBBofC declined their right to appeal the decision.

On that basis I doubt there's anyone out there, or on here that would put their house up to support their statements that Benn is a cheat.

That put Benn clearly in the clear.
I don't get how anyone could doubt him now.
Even when it was cancelled first time around, Eubank was quite happy to participate in the multi million pound fight

your sense of humour is getting drier and funnier as you age.

[gilgamesh]

Based on you guys' use of it I'm gonna assume "The naughty step" would be the British equivalent of the American saying "He's on your sh*t list"

Unique selling point.

What’s the build gonna be for a rematch?

This fight had decades of build due to their families, then had a further 2 more years of personal feud due to the drug test failing and all that.

The whole revenge/redemption may work, but personally I don’t wanna see it again

[Oiky]

yeah Chris should just walk off and keep it moving now

Nothing to prove now

Benn gave it his all, but they tried so hard to get him, the weight, the ring, and flopped it, great effort, but they didnt get it.

Move on.

Yeah but where is he going to earn 10 million?

He wouldn't get that for Bert or Biv, might get 6 for Canelo

He'd also get his ass kicked by all those guys whereas he'd beat Benn again

[margaret thatcher]

Benn deserves grief for the remainder of his career and then some but there's never the same energy for Fury, Canelo or even Khan, think Whyte maybe only other juicer to get slaughtered constantly

true but is it any wonder why? they didnt come out with multiple publicity campaigns, constantly talk about it, and tell people they need to apologize to him. benn gave people the ammuntion and constantly put the issue in the spotlight himself, if he'd laid low there wouldnt be nearly the backlash

benn reaped what he sowed in all this

Yeah the pair of them definitely need each other for that amount of money.

I just mean from a proving point now, Jnr has done his job, but make you right theres no fights for either man that fetch that amount of money.

[joshj909]

I'm guessing are folk now happy to overlook the eggs, or not.....

Why would him losing a fight last night mean we can overlook him for being a drug cheat? Especially in the matchup he was caught using PEDs prior to...

Nothing has changed in his awful attitude either.

Well no one seems to care about Roy Jones failing a test or Evan Fields do they?

Because those guys were actually liked beforehand by people. You'd struggle to find someone who previously disliked them who suddenly liked them after testing positive

Maybe for his health he should quit.
If your 35 and get a pasting, and are still in hospital 24 hrs later, then that's a good sign to quit.

Can you elaborate please?

That's the worst thing for me with him, that massive chip on his shoulder.
I can accept most are on the gear , but if caught, just hold your hands up and not blame everything and everyone else but yourself and people would accept it more readily.

Of course they wouldn't when there's a good chance Turki (Saudi National Wealth Fund) is going to be bankrolling the opposition - and why wouldn't they if they wanted to, that's how the system is set up? When the money comes out, the talking stops! and rights and wrongs go out the window (head first). Conor isn't the first and he certainly isn't the worst. None of us knows the details of what he did or didn't do. Best to just enjoy the boxing.

Whether it be Saudi money, Matchroom Money, Benn's own or the proceeds of a whip round at the local boozer it's not the wisest thing to call somebody a cheat if you haven't got the dough to back up your statements.

It's more if you've got something to lose and don't have enough money that it's a problem. If you've no money or don't care, you can say what you want. It's still impolite, though.

[Steveh583]

I just cant warm to him. his dad was rough and ready but was loved cos he wore his heart on his sleeve and served in the armed forces, Conor just comes across entitled.

[coneye]

Personally I could.nt give a shit over the peds. That's not why I disliked him IF he did well he was.nt the first and will not be that last . My disdain for him came because he is a bigheaded cocky fornicator but worse than that he had underweight old past it fighters handed to him on a platter then belittled them
Never forget him and his dad dancing over Algiers lay on the canvass.

So for me he.s well and truly still in the naughty box and will stay there until he gets his cumuppance . Remember even this fight it was stacked in his favour weight. Rehydration clauses . 18 foot ring .tried it on with the gloves Even the commentators were behind him . FOOK HIM HIS DAD AND EDDIE would.nt of give a shot if a dehydrated Eubank was seriously hurt or worse

[Ruthless-RKO]

[a force]

No & never will be.

I’ve cheered for Fury & Whyte’s opponents everytime they’ve fought. Didn’t particularly care when they fought each other.

I’d have more respect for Benn if he was honest.

If he had said something along the lines of ‘I was struggling like mad & felt the pressure to be as good as my dad & someone recommended Dr Uz to me as he had helped other fighters & I took something I shouldn’t have’ I would at least respect him for being honest.

As it is we know he’s failed tests, we know he suddenly improved & changed body shape after a year out & we know the name of his doctor who has helped others dope. He’s a cheat & a liar. 100% cheat. Not a doubt in my mind.

[Bercli]

Last night flattered Benn he is bang average. Very tough but can’t punch and still very novice like lunging in with wild shots. Eubank was there for the taking last night

Exactly my thoughts. Eubank was dead at the weight. I told a friend afterwards that Benn is going to gave to matched very carefully from now on imo

[Bercli]

yeah Chris should just walk off and keep it moving now

Move on.

I agree, it's done and I don't want to see it again. Unfortunately, the only fight out there for both of them is each other. Benn will get seriously exposed if he moves up to championship level. And Eubank can't possibly want to try and make 160lns again.
