Conor Benn Goes all 10 rounds Against Rodolfo Orozco in Return to the Ring

ORLANDO, FL - At the Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, FL, the long-awaited return of former welterweight contender Conor Benn (22-0, 14 KOS) took place in a scheduled 10-round junior middleweight contest.

The Essex, UK fighter’s opponent, was the younger and taller Rodolfo Orozco (32-4-3, 24 KOs) out of Mexico, fighting for the first time outside his native country.

Orozco provided Benn with a stern challenge, never letting up on his opponent, keeping him busy through all 10 rounds. Benn was able to land the more brutal and cleaner punches on his opponent, but only a handful of times did Orozco look hurt. Whenever Benn connected with any blow, Orozco was right back in front of him to return fire.

In the ninth and tenth rounds, Benn’s punches finally affected Orozco, easing his intensity in firing back. Benn would land some highlight reel pot shots on Orozco. But nothing he did was enough to put down his Mexican opponent, who looked determined to go the distance and not fall.

It would prove to be an exhaustive but necessary fight for Benn as it would only serve to help him in the long run. The UK fighter hasn’t gone 10 rounds in two years since he faced Adrian Granados in September 2021.

Benn would be awarded the unanimous decision victory. All three judges had the bout in his favor with two scores of 99-91, and one judge saw a closer bout than most with a score of 96-94.

Benn has been out of the ring since April 2022, when he stopped Chris van Heerden in two rounds. He was scheduled to take on Chris Eubank Jr. in what would have been a modern version of the classic all-British battles between their fathers in the 1990s. However, Benn twice tested positive for the banned substance, Clomiphene.

Although seemingly suspended and unable to fight in the United Kingdom, Benn was able to secure a license in the state of Florida from the Florida Athletic Commission after he was removed from the national suspension list by the Association of Boxing Commissions.

After submitting negative drug tests and being out of the ring for 17 months, he was granted a license in Florida.

The question now surrounding Benn will be what he does next. Can he stay active in the United States, specifically in Florida? Will he remain at junior middleweight or move back down to welterweight? Wherever Benn goes, controversy will follow until the situation with the British Board of Control is over.

Crawford - Porter: Last 5

This will be a combined last 5 ahead of this weekend’s massive fight between Shawn Porter and Terence Crawford. I’ve covered Terence Crawford extensively recently: Here is my review of his last fight against Kell Brook and here is the Last 5 I did prior to that fight (including a lot of other links as well). 

While I covered Porter’s last fight against Sebastian Formella in Las Vegas and his prior battle against Errol Spence - I realized that I hadn’t covered several others of his previous fights. So working backwards:

In March 2019, he squeaked by Yordenis Ugas in Carson California wearing a similar template to his fight versus Danny Garcia 6 months prior:

Here’s the Garcia fight from Brooklyn in September 2018:

In November 2017 he beat Adrian Granados in Brooklyn:

I actually have no idea what this skyline is. Vegas?

Anyway, he steamrolled Andre Berto in Brooklyn in April 2017:

Prior to these fights, we also covered Porter’s great fight with Keith Thurman here, his win over Adrien Broner here and a Last 5 before the Broner fight as well.

Adrian Granados: "I'm On A Mission To Prove I'm Still One Of The Best Fighters In The World"

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Follow @Frontproofmedia!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id))(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');

Published: September 02, 2021

Adrian Granados is determined to prove that he is still a major threat on the world scene by becoming the first man to defeat rising Welterweight star Conor Benn when they collide on the undercard of Mauricio Lara vs. Josh Warrington 2 at Emerald Headingley Stadium in Leeds this Saturday, September 4, shown live worldwide on DAZN. 'El Tigre', a 33-fight veteran who is no stranger to boxing's biggest platforms, will finally lock horns with 'The Destroyer' in front of 20,000 fans at the home of Leeds Rhinos this weekend after their Fight Camp meeting was quashed by a positive COVID-19 test, and the 32-year-old Mexican American believes he is on another level to the opponents Benn has faced up to this point in his career. Granados (21-8-3, 15 KOs) is the vastly more experienced fighter having gone the distance with former two-time Welterweight World Champion Shawn Porter and former multi-division World Champion Adrien Broner in losing efforts. Despite having 8 losses on his record, some of which he feels are controversial, the Chicago fighter believes that he still has a World Title shot in him. “I’ve been chomping at the bit for this fight," said Granados. "It was frustrating at the time because we were ready to go. I was already in the zone and just ready to fight Conor, but it happened, this is the day and age we live in now where this can happen. I’m still crossing my fingers because we’re not there yet, when the bell goes, I’ll feel a little calmer. It worked out, I got a couple of days off and then flew home. We didn’t even stay for the fights. We flew right home and got back to work. “It’s fight week, so I think he reignited the flame again, but he’s been pretty quiet the past few weeks. Leading up to the last fight he was very vocal and brash. I think somebody hit him with some peace of mind and he’s tried to go the humble route this time. We all know how Conor Benn is and we know the type of character he is, and it’s starting to come back. "I’m excited. I accept all challenges. If he thinks that he’s better than me on his worst day, I want his best. Don’t give me your worst, I want the best of Conor Benn so I can beat him straight out. I think I’m better than him. It’s not so much humbling him, it’s more teaching him a lesson. My career has been so up and down, and I’ve been in and out of so many different controversial things. I’m on a mission to prove my point that I’m still one of the best fighters in the world. "A lot of people are underestimating me. The odds are crazy right now. The way it looks they’re already making plans for him in December against Adrian Broner – somebody who I believe I beat as well. If I beat Conor then I’ll be like, ‘let me get that Broner fight’. Let me get my rematch. If he’s looking past me then let me look past him. If you guys have got future plans for him then I’m going to start making my own plans. “I don’t have the prettiest record in boxing and usually people are quick to attack me with that. The real diehards hit me with the fact that I’ve been robbed so many times. All three of my draws were clear wins and my losses – I count maybe half of them or three of them. I can’t accept all of those losses that I have. It’s just unfortunate. That’s why I feel boxing is actually killing itself. It turns people off the sport. I’m hoping for a fair shake and that justice is served, and that the best man wins. “We’re both hotheads – I think him a lot more than I. I’ve got it in me. I’ve got that Mexican style. I’m that type if you hit me, I want to hit you back. It’s going to make for exciting fireworks. I’m excited for this fight, he’s excited for this fight and everyone is excited for this fight. We’re both planning on putting on a show. I just turned 32, I’m a young veteran. I’m a savvy vet and I’ve got a lot of tools in my toolbox. I think I’ve got a lot more to offer in a fight than Conor Benn."
