He's looked pretty good so far and it's great that he seems to have power in both hands.
Every fight Benn's improved and considering his lack of amateur experience It's amazing he looks this good after 8 fights and just 20 years old. I could see him taking the Brittish and maybe even European titles before he's had 20 fights.
I like everything I see from Conor Benn. The Kid is class and if he's got his head screwed on, I think he could go right to the top.

Think this needs a ********* Super fight************** thread
Team Ortiz said if they have to wait until after the Pulev fight they have an agreement in place to fight Wilder for the WBC and will be requesting the WBA to be put on the line.
Eddie Hearn needs to get Whyte vs Hammer made and then look a one of the top ranked WBC guys.

Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury this saturday
any thoughts?

Tough fight. Parker is nails and although Fury hasn't fought for a while and looked shot last time he's a very slick boxer.
Just reading it's on a pay per view youtube channel.

Well that makes things interesting. Ortiz will probably lose his WBA mandatory so Joshua will have to someone else. Might take some time for Joshua to get a shot at the WBC title.

Shocked that Wilders fighting a live body for a change.
Good that it's on the East coast. Makes it more of a watchable time. Should be about 3 as opposed to 5.

Honestly wouldn't like to put any money on this one, no clue who would win. Hughie has been out, while Parkers last fight looked second rate.
Its a very good match-up in my eyes so should be a good one to watch.
edit: reading up on this and they are struggling to sell the fight.
Finally we are seeing the other heavy weights move forward. I think Wilder keeps his distance and takes it on points. We have seen that Ortiz just can't close people down despite his power. Saying that if Wilder comes in windmilling and Ortiz catches him it will be a spectacular finish !
