Conor Benn’s Inside Game Troubles Devin Haney

Coach Malik Scott says Conor Benn will give Devin Haney “trouble” with his inside play and punching.

Scott notes that Haney (33-0, 15 KOs) is closing a lot in his fights now. He states that Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) is “hateful” in close-up.

That means Devin wouldn’t be able to rely on chinching as his main line of defense to neutralize Benn’s offense, as he did in his win over WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. last Saturday. did. Devin would be forced to fight Benn or constantly move.

“If Conor Benn boxes at any weight class like he boxed against Chris Eubank Jr., he can give anybody trouble,” trainer Malik Scott told the InsideRingShow. Xwhen asked about Benn fighting Devin Haney. “Conor Benn is very angry on the inside. Devin Haney is doing a lot of closing right now, right?

Benn was ringside for Haney’s fight against Norman Jr last Saturday night. at the ANB Arena in Riyadh. After Devin won by a 12-round unanimous decision, Conor called him out. Interestingly, both Haney and his father, Bill, showed no interest. It was a surprise because the money he would get for Benn would be huge. For him not to want to face him is a red flag to fans that he’s not sure he’ll win.

“He’s got his father’s (Nigel Benn) spirit when he fights. He’s mean. He’s malicious. He can punch. He’s got an incredibly fine game,” Malik said of Conor.

Benn’s hitting power, toughness and aggression will make it difficult for Haney. He may be coming after him in an aggressive manner that he hasn’t seen since his loss to Ryan Garcia.

“Here’s another one. He’s been on that stage before,” Max Kellerman said of Benn. “Norman, the look on his face, he hasn’t been here before. Haney looked like he’s been there before. Conor Benn fought in front of 50,000 people.”
