    Total mismatch. That’s the way to pick a stand in. Zero threat or ambition. Makes me think of how naive Warrington or AJ were (or their teams were)

    Marshall is the best boxer in female pro boxing for me.

    Seriously, if Benn wants to progress he should be beating this lad handy..

    But, Benn is not near as good as he thinks he is, and he can be wide open and hurt...

    I think Benn wins a decision with some scary moments..

    You don't tend to see mismatches put to bed with that sort of ease in women's boxing though. Definitely one of the few female boxers to carry genuine power.

    I was going to say the womens should be 3 but with 2 minutes they do seem to go all action for the whole round.

    I'd be curious to see how mens boxing would look with 2 minutes.

    Fair point , but Lindberg seemed to be in survival mode from the outset and carried no threat meaning Marshall had no fear or respect so was able to do as she pleased. But as you say can only put away what is in front of her and she did that very convincingly

    NEVER be as good as his old man. But as you say, if he has any aspirations of boxing at a higher level he should be winning this.

    I meant to say Benn inside a round, not by decision with a few scary moments...damn typos!

    The man renowned for predicting an early KO in every fight ever, finally predicts a fight to go the distance..... and it ends in the first round.

    Very impressive by Benn, vicious and accurate. He was great against Formella too, and very bullish in the after fight interview. Shows tremendous appetite and drive for a fella born into fame and wealth.

    I think he will go far.

    What a can! Good statement by Conor though, would love to see him up against Josh Kelly in the next year or so.

    I laughed at that line. He'd hurt Khan badly. Probably a good few bob in it for him in fairness, so I can't begrudge the calling out.

    I think he has a good mouth, I like the subtle digs as Eubank.
