Unbeaten Welterweight Conor Benn (22-0, 14 KOs) has warned Peter Dobson (16-0, 9 KOs) that he’s bringing ‘sheer violence’ to their clash at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Saturday February 3, live worldwide on DAZN.
“I never thought I would fight in Las Vegas, let alone headline, so it’s nothing but a blessing,” said Benn, who is currently completing his training camp at the Matchroom Churchill Gym in Santa Monica, California.
“I’m going to make an example of him. He can do the talking. Talk as much as you want, the outcome will be the same. Delusion is one hell of a thing and there’s a fine line between delusion and confidence. I know what I am bringing in and that’s sheer violence, sheer brutality, sheer spite. Whatever he does, I do better, and I am going in there to handle business and deal with him in serious fashion.
=“Obviously, I’m not my dad. It’s evident to see. I am Conor Benn, that’s that. What he’s said is nothing I haven’t heard before, if he wants to talk that talk, fair play. Talk is cheap, I take no notice of it but when I get in the ring, I express every bit of feeling I have in me. So, he can keep talking, it’ll just make me want to end the fight early. I’m going in there to dismantle him and remind everyone who’s who and what’s what.
“I’m coming for it early and when I see an opportunity, I take it, that’s who I am. I take the shots I see, I don’t pull back, I don’t pitter-patter, I’m going in there to iron him out, that’s who I am, and I can’t help it. If I see one split-second of pain or weakness, I make sure he knows I’ve seen it.
“I don’t watch my opponents, I leave that to Tony, I am confident in what I do and my ability. So, I don’t know much about Peter, but I know that I am one hell of a fighter, I’m powerful, extremely determined and full of grit. I punch like a horse’s kick, so good luck to him.”
“He can do the talking” – then adds plenty of talking
Both fellas talkn big before the fight and then both can go and talk with each other in hospital beds either way it’s just talkn am i right
I never enjoyed the talking for any fight. I always gave respect to my opponent. Talking is done with your hands. You are only as good as your last fight.
A juiceless Benn is far from “top form”. Slower reflexes. The impact of the punches won’t be the same. The only common denominator is his mouth at this point.
Am I right to ask what he has done to headline? I can list about 30 fighters who deserve to headline over him.
Be the son to a former champ, that’s about it. Time will tell if he advances to bigger stages.
Very true. A known name does carry weight, even if it’s not yet earned.
Ben is training at sea level in Santa Monica California and going up to Las Vegas fighting at the top of the Cosmopolitan = bad news for Ben. If Peter Dobson is any good I smell an upset!
How many picograms of violence exactly?… lol just kidding
I think it’s about 20cc daily intramuscular until 3 weeks out from the bout for a passing grade.
I am not convinced Benn should be fighting anywhere in the world until he clears his name and when can we expect him to step up to the plate and fight a ranked opponent? The CB show is getting stale.
