Or not... bit naughty from the opponent there though, no? Shouldn't really be trying to win should he? Went off script to get a famous name on his record.

I bet he was buzzing when he got the call for this fight.
He probably thought fook it, Frank will never ring him again but it’s a great story to tell his grandkids about the time he beat an unbeaten boxer who was the son of a great
I bet he can’t wait to go to work on Monday morning

You might well be right there. Maybe I've not seen the wood for the trees and Frank has tipped the opponent the nod to call time on this Benn.

Well done Lee Hallett
Must be a great feeling getting a win against a name when you're 0-16 !

No was before TV - even Warren didn’t see it as he wasn’t ringside either.

I see Ben D was on an IFL interview saying that Hearn "wont let Andrade near Bill". Last week's interview had him stating that "we heard a sniff at Christmas that Wilder would not take the rematch..." before suggesting his fault it did not happen.
Does this idiot not know we all get informed of the facts. We know the WBO ordered purse bids for Andrade to fight BJS in a defence and BJS was the one who swerved it to get this shitty fight. We know the WBC ordered a rematch and purse bids, which meant Wilder HAD to take the rematch or be stripped and it was Fury who made other deals instead.
I get that the boy is young, may be a decent trainer, and I get that outside of coaching a guy to punch he may be a little simple, but damn!

Good result for Lee. He's good enough to win the Southern Area, but he earns his living on the road.

Both Benn's are just making money out of their name. Neither had an amateur career so it shows neither were really interested in boxing in the kid days.
Harley wasnt making any progress at all and has dropped several weight classes since turning pro. Give him credit though for getting in the ring and giving the pro game a go. This loss shows how good he is and hes not going to get any better, wont even get to British level. He's proberly not a ticket seller either and he has no charisma or anything interesting about him. Conor on the other hand has got something about him that makes him interesting to watch but again not going to set the world on fire.
I guess its hard living in your dads shadow, but saying that it has opened doors for the kid where as other young up and comers havent had the openings as he has.
Im sure he will come back but will have to reevaluate his career and who to fight next, but finding someone with a worse record of 0-16 is pretty tough. That fight will be a bitter pill for Benn to swallow.

Damn, both Benn and Eubanks basterds are bringing embarrassment to their fathers names.
