Conor Benn made a strong statement against Sebastian Formella on Saturday night in London.
Benn, the son of retired champion Nigel Benn, outboxed him game, but overmatched opponent to beat Formella as convincingly as former welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter did.
The scores were 100-91, 99-91 and 99-92, all for Benn. Boxing Junkie had it 99-91. Porter shut out Formella in a 12-round fight.
It was arguably the finest performance of Benn’s career, which put the top 147-pounders on notice that a threat to them could make its way over from the U.K. one day soon.
