IBF MATH: Loss at 160 = Top 5 to 154 for Conor Benn. Genius!

After the loss of Conor Benn in the face of the middle weight Chris Eubank Jr. Last April, IBF has placed Benn at number 5 in its 154 -pound rankings. It is a strange play, as Benn’s defeat was 160 years old. It is expected to fight against a resale with Eubank Jr. In September, and then return to the division of 147 pounds.

Qualified to lose?

Social media fans see this as a joke because Benn should not be in the younger half -weight ranking after a loss.

Even in 147, it is questionable if Conor deserves to be ranked among the first 15 places because his best career victory in Welterweight was against Chris Algieri, 37, in 2021.

It Ibf Benn (23-1, 14 kos) has classified the high quality contenders who would probably be much easier than the best of his best, Eubank Jr. Five of the IBF classification contenders would be a nightmare for Conor Benn if he had to get entangled with them, particularly Jorge Pérez and Sermii Bohachuk.

5 Conor Benn
7 Jesus Ramos
8 Serhii Bohachuk
9 Jorge Garcia Pérez
10 Keith Thurman
15 Charles Conwell

Can you imagine Benn fighting the temporary champion of 154 pounds of WBC Bohachuk? This would end badly for Benn because Bohachuk would punch him through him once he warmed up. There is no chance that Conor was the distance with Bohachuk or Jorge Pérez. The other guys on this list would also be too talented to him.

Benn seemed decent, losing in front of the 35 -year -old Eubank Jr., on April 26, but did not fight against one of the avant -garde mediums. If it had been Janibek Alknuly, Erislandy Lara, Carlos Adames or Yoenli Hernandez, he would have been fortunate enough to do it in the sixth round. These guys are true world class, not domestic as Eubank Jr.

September confrontation

“What we have heard is Benn-Eubbank Jr. At the end of September at Spurs. This is what announced his excellence (Turki Alralikh),” said Eddie Hearn to TV IFL Regarding the resuscitation between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn. “This is what we have achieved in our heads, which we are preparing and we will see in the coming weeks what is materialized.

“When Ebank weighed the hydration, he had all his clothes and was half a kilo below. So he would have had two and a half kilos, three pounds to save the rehydration. Some people say,” It was terrible to happen, “he said about Eubank Jr. having to accept a 10-pound rehydration clause to give Conor Benn to handicap.

Benn’s Handicap

Eubank Jr. He looked at half a death, and then treated twice as much as the rehydration clause of 10 pounds on the day of the fight. The handicap is removed for Benn, and Eubank Jr. would have wiped the cover with him. Anyway, he was even drained to pieces. Benn was close to being eliminated in rounds 11 and 12. It was a fist bag for Eubank Jr. In the last two rounds.

“We don’t want Conor Benn to fight against a boy from £ 20 to 25 pounds than he in the ring,” said Hearn. “As Conor Benn ages and travels through the divisions, he will fight 100% to 154. I don’t think he will fight at 160, but who knows? He has only had a great fight in 160.”

Observe Hearn’s excuses? I would like to admit that Benn needed special help to give him an opportunity, because there is no way that he could have had a chance against Ebank Jr. Strong. It had to be 60% so that Benn had a shot.

“I think if we do not do the resuscitation in September, it can happen to us because I do not think that Eubank is around,” said Hearn.
