Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 12 Paid Members Posted September 12 I’m not waking up early on a Sunday morning for Eggs Bennedict. I’ll catch up on it tomorrow. Quote
NeverYield Posted September 12 Posted September 12 I must admit I'll be waking up for it, cheering Garcia on. Tbf I get up at 5am everyday anyway for work so 4am for the boxing won't do me in too much, but if I didn't want Conor to get peppered with numerous left hooks and pieced up around the ring then I'd probably stay asleep myself. Meltdown incoming if Benn manages to do it🤣 All jokes to one side though there is routes to victory for Benn, I don't think it will happen, but if Benn can apply educated pressure and take Garcias offense away I give him more of a chance, Garcia can sometimes turn up unmotivated,and his defense is more reactive rather than a tactic in place to keep getting his work off, I know that sounds silly but some boxers have a systematic defense alongside reactive and imo Garcia doesn't have that. But Benn looks dreadful at the weight and I do see Garcia boxing his ears off. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 13 Paid Members Posted September 13 Can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs. Two rounds. Over $15 million for this. Well played Zuffa. You know Kugan and Charlie Parsons are blowing up Hearn’s phone right now trying to secure that first 97 minute interview reacting to this. Quote
NeverYield Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Its no secret I have never rated Conor Benn, hes not very skilled, hes not this super brawler with "the dog in him", he turned out two performances against a weight drained Eubank and thats about the best he has done. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 15 Author Paid Members Posted September 15 If Benn was gonna stand any chance, he was gonna need a poor version of Garcia to show up, unfortunately he may have got the best version of Ryan Garcia. Decimated. Quote
Gooner Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I had/have very low expectations when it comes to Benn and he still found a way to be even worse then I expected. He should never have been given a world title shot in any division, let alone one he hasn't fought in for over 4 years. Garcia handspeed, power and level far too much for someone's of Benn's limited boxing ability. Now he and Eubank Jr can sucker fans in again to watch a third fight between the pair of them, which to be faor is their level at best. To think it took all these years, after so much coverage, to see him in there there with a live fighter and he gets obliterated in less then five minutes. Shows how far if well promoted, have a famous last name, your best wins are against dug up corpses and popping dirty for drugs can take you. I give Benn one thing, for averageness in the ring, he has made a absolute fortune from this sport. I'm trying to think of another boxer who is as average and made similar amounts to what Benn has made so far in his career, no one from top of my head springs to mind. John Hedges defending his British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles against Pat Brown this Saturday night should be a good fight. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 15 Paid Members Posted September 15 As badly as he handled the whole thing from a PR perspective, Conor Benn ditching Hearn and Matchroom and selling his soul for that silly Zuffa dough was the best move he ever made. Hearn did a good smoke and mirrors job with him (PED/eggs debacle aside) but the day was always gonna come when he’d spectacularly find his true level. Might as well make the maximum amount of money possible for the hiding he was always inevitably gonna get eventually. And nobody else was ever gonna pay him $15 million plus. He took advantage of the landscape with Zuffa trying to make moves and grab headlines and cashed out. Can’t blame him. Still a massive twat though. Hope Eubank smashes him in the trilogy. Quote

He probably hasn't made quite as much, but he'll have made a chunk. And he's actually shit, rather than mediocre, and yet somehow undefeated. It's partly why I root for him. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 28 Paid Members Posted September 28 If you get chance to check in with the Japanese boxing from yesterday there are a couple of cracking fights. Nishida v Goodman and Takuma Inoue v Tenshin Nasukawa are both well worth a watch. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted October 4 Paid Members Posted October 4 Ben Whittaker is such a prick. When he got into trouble he decided the game was rugby and tackled his opponent to the floor a couple of times. It's actually worse for him that he won as he is now mandatory for the IBF title which is Bivol. Obviously Bivol and Beterbiev who spent ages denying they were Russian so they didn't get sanctioned are fighting each other in Russia, but you couldn't see Whittaker beating either of them could you? Quote
Gooner Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Bivol is defending against his mandatory Callum Smith(WBO number 1) on December 12th next. Whittaker hope of getting a title is a vacant one against a similar opponent he had last night and if Wallace had started earlier to step on the gas and if the referee had been better, Whittaker could easily have lost that fight. Bivol, Beterbiev and Benavidez destroy him. Hearn has found a way loophole like most promoters do in one of the organisations to get his guy into a mandated position and if Bivol beats Smith to set up the Beterbiev fight, if the IBF call the mandatory on, Hearn will be hoping Bivol vacates so Whittaker has a chance against the next guy in line who currently is Imam Khataev. I wouldn't put it past Whittaker managing to backdoor his way to being a world champion. The funny thing is if you look at the British level fighters in his division, do people believe he beats say a Smith, Buatsi, Yarde, Hutchinson type fighter as we currently stand? I have serious doubts that he does. Quote
NeverYield Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Ben Whittaker and Bivol in the same sentence is simply comical. Bivol mauls him. Quote
