Via Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Barry Hearn believes Conor Benn was named a star following his second-round knockout win last Saturday night over Chris Van Heerden at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
Calling him is equivalent to “Magnetic explosives“Barry believes heavyweight title contender Benn (21-0, 14 KOs), son of British legend Nigel Benn, has the talent to go far in the sport.
While it’s a bit of a mismatch, Benn’s performance against Van Heerden suggests he’s not in the same league as Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Keith Thurman, Errol Spence Jr., or Terence Crawford.
With that said, Eddie Hearn won’t let Conor get anywhere near those talents because to put him in with any of those people, there’s a price to be paid.
There are still doubts about what young 25-year-old Benn is capable of accomplishing, as he has yet to succumb to world-class rivals.
Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, took great care to fight Conor exclusively against faded older fighters who hadn’t reached world-class late in their careers.
In the case of 34-year-old Chris Van Heerden, he has never made it past the last level of his career and sadly, he hasn’t won a game in three years since 2019.
To say this is other cherry picking because young Conor Benn was a kind man.
It is disguised that this is another mismatch for Benn, designed to make him look like gold at the cost of a poorly dressed boxer about to be fired for two years and a performance. bad before Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s one, two or twelve, the child has electricity,” Barry Hearn told iFL TV about Conor Benn. “He entered the arena, and you know when you’ve got a superstar in your handYou don’t have to say anything about it.
Hearn continued on Conor Benn: “Easy work for one of the biggest heavyweights in the world, and we’ll see how far he goes over the next six to twelve months.
“But We have something special and exciting on our handswhich the entire British boxing public would adore.
“This child is Magnetic dynamite that when he entered an arena, he would turn on the main light by himself without flipping the switch. Nothing else,” an agitated Barry said of Benn.
“You don’t have to ask me. It is in the hands of those who understand it best. All I’m doing is I’m happy to get a free ticket to one of the best shows of my career, and a kid will give up a lot of the excitement,” Hearn said when asked about WHO Benn will fight in the summer in the UK’s much-talked “mega-battle”.
“All I want is excitement. Easy evening work, easy evening,” Barry said in the moon audio about Benn’s victory over Chris Van Heerden, 34, a boxer who hasn’t won in three years since 2019.
