Carl Froch chooses the naturally larger, more proven fighter, middleweight Chris Eubank Jr., to defeat Conor Benn tonight in their fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Froch says eubank jr. (34-3, 25 COs) are “Too Big” For the unproven Benn (23-0, 14 COs).
Although Froch notes that the 35-year-old eubank jr. Is not at a world level, he still has too much size and the ability for Benn. He believes that Conor did zero during his career, and his best victory against 37-year-old Chris Algieri in 2021. By that time in his career he was fading and he had nothing left.
Is it about the money?
There is a strong conviction among some fans on social media that Benn’s primary goal for his career is to take advantage of his famous father’s name to make money without working his way as normal fighters do. As such, we have not yet seen Conor Benn match any of these welter weights:
– Jaron Ennis
– Brian Norman jr.
– Shakhram Giyasov
– Karen Chukhadzhian
Chances are that Benn would lose all the fighters, and his career would be over if his promoter, Eddie Hearn, chose to test him. It reinforces the belief that fans have that Benn’s career is only going to make money.
Froch’s criticism of Benn reflects what many boxing fans say about him. He did not fight anyone and was carefully by his promoters from one day by his promoters. He has been a pro for about ten years, and the only significant fighter on his resume is Algieri. That was four years ago.
“I think Chris Eubank Jr. must be too big for Conor Benn. Eubank Jr. is not a bad fighter at super -mid -weight, but not world level,” Carl Froch says on his YouTube channelAnd his thoughts on tonight’s struggle between the two fighters in London. “Conor Benn did nothing. He did not prove anything. He didn’t beat anyone from any note. ‘
Froch does not mention that Eubank Jr. can weaken enough for Benn to win due to the combination of weight and the rehydration clause of 10 lb. He was not active enough in his career to reach 160 without great effort, and he was in the middle of the thirties. Eubank jr. Is a living fossil In goat terms.
Benn’s shallow record
“The knockout of Chris Algieri has proven nothing because Chris Algieri was finished (in 2021). It’s his best victory. I think Conor Benn has a bright future, whether he wins the battle or not. He is only 28 years old,” Froch said.
“He can go ahead and do something. It will be interesting to see how he performs. Hopefully he does not get badly injured or damaged or knocked out, and his confidence is wiped out. This is what Kell Brook happened when he acted against Golovkin (in 2016) in a weight division (middleweight). Froch.
