Boxing: Conor Benn vs. Regis Prograis

Analysis

This looks like a mismatch on paper and the crowd at Tottenham will only make it worse for Prograis. Benn just destroyed Chris Eubank Jr in November, dropping him twice and looking like he's hit another level at 29. Prograis is 37 and moving up from super lightweight to this 150-pound catchweight. That's never easy, especially against a hungry home fighter with explosive power. The American's got experience and a better knockout rate, but those legs have a lot of miles on them. Benn's orthodox style should give the southpaw Prograis problems, and that London crowd will be deafening. The bookies have this right - I'd back Benn to get the job done, probably inside the distance.
