Welterweight prospect Conor Benn (13-0, 9 KOs) stayed undefeated with an unimpressive 10 round unanimous decision on Saturday night in his rematch against journeyman Cedrick Peynaud (6-6-3, 4 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London, England. Benn knocked Peynaud down three times in dropping him in rounds 2, 7 and 9. Benn couldn’t knock Peynaud out no matter how hard he tried. Likewise, Peynaud came up empty in trying to score a knockout of his own despite landing countless hard head shots that Benn took. The only big plus from Benn’s performance tonight was his ability to take major shots from Peynaud without being wobbled and dropped. The 21-year-old Benn won the fight by the scores 98-91, 98-91 and 98-90. Boxing News 24 scored it for Benn by a 98-91 score. However, Benn was far from impressive in beating the 32-year-old Peynaud. Benn’s defense was leaky, his hand speed slow, and his movements looking uncoordinated throughout. In an example of Benn’s lack of coordination came late in the fight when he stumbled and went flying when he attempted to do an Ali shuffle. read more https://www.boxingnews24.com/2018/07/conor-benn-defeats-cedrick-peynaud-results/
