Benn Brutalises Algieri, Knocks Him Out in 4

By Carlos Costa

Promising unbeaten Briton Conor Benn successfully defended his WBA Continental 147 lbs Strap by pulverising former Manny Pacquiao opponent, Chris Algieri, in 4 chapters Saturday in Liverpool.

During that fourth round, Benn made a quick move forward to get in range, fired a strong, accurate left jab followed by a deadly straight right to Algueri’s chin…. BAM!!!! which sent the American fighter to another dimension, crashing down face-first to the blue canvas as in slow motion.

There was no need for a count from referee Bob Williams.

Algieri’s lights went out… the knockout was total, and was brutal.

Algieri had to be immoderately assisted by the ring doctor, while fans in attendance held their breath, waiting for Algieri to get back on his feet.

The official time for the lethal stoppage was 2:58 minutes in the 4th; and this one could be a candidate for KO of the year.

If you have time, watch the video of Benn knocking out Algieri on DAZN’s YouTube channel. See what think of Benn because maybe in 2022 this talented British 147-pounder could be a possible opponent for Crawford, Spence or Ugás. Let’s hope so.

Conor Benn continues undefeated 20-0, with 13 knockouts.
