Video Highlights: Conor Benn Demolishes Chris Algieri in Round 4

Conor Benn delivered yet another spectacular display of action and retained his WBA continental welterweight title by stopping Chris Algieri in the fourth round of their headlining clash. The Matchroom event ended with a show-stealer and no doubt, Benn silenced his critics in fashion.

While several people doubted him as a top-tier prospect, Conor Benn’s recent win validates him to compete for the world titles soon. Nevertheless, it’s time to relish his highlight reel KO, which has advanced his pro record to 20-0 with 13 stoppage wins.

While Chris Algieri was touted as a perfect anti-dote to Benn’s dominance, ‘The Destroyer’ turned the tables in style. He appeared the better fighter from the very beginning and had an easy day at work. The 12-rounds slugfest ended in fourth as Benn planted his massive right hand to send former champion Chris Algieri across the ropes.

After offering extreme action in round one, Benn saw early success in round two. ‘The Destroyer’ floored his opponent twice by the end of round two. However, Chris Algieri could return to his game and keep the bout going. He survived Conor Benn’s lopsided dominance in round three. The damage was already evident on Algieri’s side, but his loyalists still had some hope.

Is Conor Benn ready for the top-tier challenges?

Benn’s latest victory clearly puts him in a similar bracket with the existing A-listers of the welterweight division. Besides, he has already targeted some potential blockbusters for himself. ‘The Destroyer’ desired to face the winner of Amir Khan vs Kell Brook in the post-fight interview. He also hinted at going after four-division champion Adrien Broner at some point. No wonder the welterweight division has several top-tier personas on board.
