Conor Benn says he showed himself in the 160 -pound division with his performance in his loss in front of the half -weight contestant Chris Eubank Jr. Earlier this year on April 26. The two will meet in a resale on November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Tottenham, London, 58 days from now on. The event will be displayed in Dazn PPV.
Demonstrating brave at 160 pounds
Although Benn was shown to a certain point at 160 in his performance last April, it was not a good enough performance to suggest that he could exist between the elite or the level A fighters of the middle weight division. The fans do not see Eubank Jr. as to be between them. It has seen as a career.

Conor, 28, remains bitter for his loss, trying to rescue a positive to increase his confidence in the second struggle. It was competitive soon, but then it was undone as the contest was held.
Inner game deficiencies
Benn (23-1, 14 kos) gave Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 kos) A hard struggle in the first rounds with its power and an explosive punch. Eubank Jr. He realized it quickly, acknowledging that he is a bone fighter who is loaded in simple features and overcome it with combinations inside to win a unanimous decision of 12 rounds for the scores 116-112, 116-112 and 116-112.
The struggle showed that Benn has no interior game and can only puncture on average to long. This is a problem that can persist in resale and when Conor returns to the division of 147 pounds.
Weakness of the Middle Weight Division
The competitiveness of the fight showed two things:
- Middle weight division is weak: In order for Benn to increase two weight classes from 147 to 160 and to be competitive against the first five contestants, the weakened condition of the division stands out. I think there are fighters who would have a disaster for Benn to fight, like Yoenli Hernandez, Janibek Alimkhanuly and Carlos Adames; These are the burning of crop. Benn has enough talent to be a contestant in this division if he wanted, but his chances of winning a world title would be scarce.
- Eubank Jr. is defective: It was exposed by the novice Benn and was forced to fight harshly in an exhausting 12 round struggle to make a unanimous decision. I don’t think Benn had lasted more than four or five rounds against the elite in the middle weight division, Yoenli Hernandez, Adames, Erislandy Lara or Janibek.
The financial incentive
“Many people go,” you are just falling. You are out of your depth. “It has a good resume compared to mine. Ring Magazinearguing that his previous performance against the 35 -year -old half -weight contestant, Chris Eubank Jr.
According to Sporting News, Conor Benn’s wallet for his first fight against Ebank Jr. 10.5 million dollars On April 26, for the resale of November 15, it was assumed that Benn will receive $ 10.5 million again. This is a massive money for a fighter who has never won a world title or has fought a contestant during his nine years of career before his loss in Ebank Jr.
Conor would seem a nonsense if he tried to convince fans who did not fight Eubank Jr. for money. This must be a central point for Benn to fight again, because he clearly lost the last struggle and absorbed many punishments.
Return to 147 pounds
“So, I’m just excited to go down to 147 after this struggle and make more damage to the weight it should fight,” said Benn.
