'You didn't used to have the talent but now you've got the talent' - Eddie Hearn.

he always had talent

No way Khan even contemplates stepping in with Benn.
I think Khan is finished and I doubt we’ll seem him again.

Stick him in with Ortiz.

Shawn Porter is not who he needs Johnny.

he stopped vargas faster than spence, garcia, and ortiz did, i reckon that makes him world #1 or 2 already

Off camera Conor is a nice humble down to earth guy ... but he must believe speaking and acting like that in the promos will help get him fights and money he wants.

Is he ? Probably doing him a disservice but he seems like a state of permanent anger is hanging over him.

Don't think I've hardly ever seen him smile , maybe that's his fight mode and that's understandable but it's making me not like him because it's a shame he's obviously progressing really well .

There was an interview with Khan just a week ago, and he pretty much said he wants one last payday and wants it against Brook. He's done.

Benn vs Avanesyan please!

Yes

Pop him in with David Avenysan.

Or alternatively, sign David Avenysan to Matchoom, get him to vacate and try to sign Benn vs a shot Khan or Brook for a PPV for the vacant belt.

Wonder which route they go......

That's one name he didn't call out. Doesn't fit the bill though does it

He is also a very nice guy in person. Loves his boxing.

That’s repeating the surname is just his “gimmick” that he picked up from old time MCs who did it without the huge sound system so they repeated the Surname so the whole Crowd could hear .

I think he’s the best announcer around at the moment.

X2 he's got a great delivery and knows his stuff, i dont care too much for the repeating of surnames but hey ho, as good as Jimmy Lennon and Craig Stevens

He's more likely to call out Chris Eubank... Snr

If I were Vargas I’d be annoyed at it being stopped, and Im sure if the tables were turned Benn would argue he was fine too. Difficult one for the ref as Vargas not firing back, maybe he shouldn’t taken a knee and bought himself some time.

Got no problems with the stoppage myself , should be no regrets ,how many unanswered punches went in ?

Love confidence , don,t like cockiness,, So i say give him what he wants , a proper fighter , not a punchbag ,who cares if he stipped this pinchbag quicker than others , that just shows you deteriorate , quicker than you improve , so he should of stopped him quick Vargcas was brought to lose he,s a punchbag now ,, So give him a top guy just not chinny Khan he,s finished now anyway , Brook Ben i would like if he can destroy Brook then he will realy be the destroyer

Is it a step up though?

Why not, he’s known here. It could sell.

JamesPhilips wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021, 17:20 Wow. I mean I would argue early stoppage as was round one, so wasn’t like he had a prolonged beating previous to that flurry. But still impressive.

Yeah I would say Benn was definitely headed for an early victory but Jesus wept. You look at that compared to Josh Warrington having to be peeled off the canvas.

Peeled off the canvas LMAO

milpool wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021, 17:24 He’s acting well hard now!

Yeah he went nuts like he was Carlton Leach avin a raaaaahhhhhhh.

Benn was landing very hard nearly every shot so i dont hate the stopage. But, dont tell me how "ben has knocked out the very durable vargas in 1 round that took boxer X and boxer y way more rounds.." because benn did stop him, but it became evident the second it was stopped, he didnt badly hurt him (dont know how, vargas is very very durable)

Conor vs Avanesyan sounds right, though.
