Conor Benn put on a vintage performance and victory in the boxing ring this weekend against his bitter rival Chris Eubank Jr.
They were bitter rivals but they showed great respect to one another after.
Good to see.
Boxing will never change its old school values and traditions at its core like that, great to see they are still there, amid the tech changes and new corporatization, commercialization and professionalization of the professional boxing industry going on at the moment with new governments and corporations coming on board soon.
Benn won the rematch this weekend on points by UD.
Conor Benn Reveals His Conor McGregor-Like Key To Victory Over Chris Eubank Jr
Speaking after the fight Conor Benn said:
“When I said I beat myself that night, I really did feel like I beat myself. It wasn’t a strategy. It wasn’t a game plan. My head wasn’t in the right place to fight. You know, a strong mind can carry a weak body, but a strong body can’t carry a weak mind.”
There is a lot to dissect there and to analyze. Let thank sink in above. Thank about it.
It is the same line one fight legend Conor McGregor used back in the day in the UFC how he was able to beat himself.
Him vs him.
You vs you.
Same mentality from Conor Benn.
On Conor McGregor, he recently became by far the second most powerful Irish man in the history of the Irish State worldwide here.
After one Michael Collins of course.
The number one main man from their country for the Irish, surely, in the history of their particularly nation.
This inspiration that Conor Benn took from Conor McGregor appears to have paid of in his training camp this weekend.
It will be good to see him back at welterweight or 154 pounds next up.
Roll on.
