Chris Algieri

Like, oh, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

So you were saying, like, "Oh, this one's for Algeria." Like, I don't care.

I don't, I don't care to see anyone get-

Yeah

And then we were saying, where's that snarling? Where's that stuff that we've come to expect from him? There were half a dozen clinches in the first round.

Now, the kind of bend from the two Eubank fights, the kind of bend from that sequence of wins he had all those years ago when he was beating all of those... veteran former champion Samuel Vargas, Adrian Granadas, Chris Algieri, Chris Van Heerden, stopping them and beating Granadas on points, but winning every round.

Where was that snarling, aggressive man? So before we deal with the second round, let's now be smart, which we're allowed to do.

Let's go back, less emotional than, say, Stacey and I were when we were on the steps at Croker Stadium.

I mean, there's nothing to compare it with.

Algieri was retired.

When they fought.

I mean, he was pretty much retired.

like he's concerned about this weight cut.

I saw Chris Algieri, a former opponent of Conor Benn, also a nutritionist, as well as a former boxer, world champion.

So he was worried about Conor Benn going into this fight because of the weight cuts.

What say you?

I mean, even the big ones.

You can watch Chris Algieri.

You can watch the Eubank fight, one and two.

Every single time he gets somebody on that back foot, Conor Benn becomes relentless and he does not put his foot off the gas.

And you can't take him away from Conor Benn for that.

But when I'm looking at Conor Benn and what he's done, how good is he? How impressed am I with him? He's got a win against Chris Algieri.

He's got that loss, then the win against Chris Eubank Jr.

And then he's coming in on the back of a 12-round labored performance against a weak, drained, old, tired, finished Regis Progre.

who he is.

You heard Chris Algieri and all these guys talking about fighting him.

I was like, this fella's fucking hit me with bahu.

This guy is fucking doing this to me.

yeah

but under the lights against Chris Eubank when he's nearly dead the second time like it was that fight was a disgrace that happened the second time especially when Eubank had to go to the hospital the first one so He hasn't at welterweight fought a live body.

Like we said, we saw him against Algeria when Algeria's come out of retirement and he's obviously juice to the gills, juice to the absolute gills, smashing Algeria to pieces.

That's his best win, I suppose, when you dissect it.
