Undefeated welterweight Conor Benn earned his 11th KO in 16 wins when he stopped Steve Jamoye in the 4th round. After a point deduction for low blow, Benn compensated with that blockbuster punch. Jamoye tried to continue but his wobbly feet indicated surrender.

Conor Benn is really impressive, if I do say so myself. Also, I can't believe he is only 23 years old and making a killing. I guess it does run in the family.

Conor Benn is no joke. It just shows how good you can become when you have a great team behind you.

I really thought Conor Benn was going to get disqualified with all those low blows he got in. I have say, when I saw the referee waving off the fight counting, I knew the medics had to get involved.

Having his dad on the ring side has to be the best feeling. That kind of support is what most fighters need, to be great.

Exactly what I was trying to say.

Conor Benn has a bright future that is if he stays clean and out of trouble. He is young and obviously getting a ton of money and attention, which sometimes can lead to dark palces.

While I do understand what you're saying, and having a dad as famous as Nigel in your corner will no doubt be an advantage, don't you also think that extra pressure may also be a burden?

Conor needs to make a name for himself on his own and while the advice off his dad will be needed, I'm not sure having him in the corner at such close quarters is the best way moving forward.

Having someone you can really trust is very important, and if it happens to be a father who's got experience, even better. The pressure is always going to be there, whether it's from the coach, family members or even fans. The secret is knowing how to keep your cool and do what you came to do.

I read on some site that the former two-weight world champion is making a comeback on November 23, after 23 years away from the ring. I still can't believe Nigel Benn is going to fight.

His son, Conor Benn, is reluctant about joining him on the ringside. I actually understand Conor's reason for not wanting to watch his father fight. I mean, if I saw my father getting in the ring after 23 years since retirement, I would be worried sick!!

Personally, I'm excited to see him fight again. I want to know if he is still in shape or it's just a stunt to make more money.
