Conor Benn brutally knocks out Jamoye in the fourth with father Nigel ringside
CONOR BENN smashed his latest victim senseless with a brutal KO of Steve Jamoye.
With returning 55-year-old fighter and father Nigel at ringside, after walking his son to the ring, Benn risked being disqualified for too many low blows before a far more sickening attack finished the fight in the fourth.
Benn, 23, whacked Jamoye below the belt three times in total and was docked a point in the welterweight clash.
But seconds after copping the punishment, Benn clipped the 28-year-old and he froze still and was then poleaxed to the deck.
The O2 fight was waved off without a count, sparking a call for the medics to run in and help unbeaten Benn’s 16th victim.
Benn roared: “I think I boxed alright, I knew he couldn’t live with my power. Whoever it is, I will catch you.
“I could see he didn’t like the shots to the body, I was annoyed I had a point taken off, it’s not my fault he’s short.”
The Brit battered his late-replacement opponent throughout the first round, he showed huge signs of technical improvement by varying his shots and attacking Jamoye’s head and body.
Halfway through the round Benn seemed to be annoyed at Jamoye’s negative tactics and beckoned him to ‘come on’.
But the visiting Belgian was clearly playing it safe or planning a very late attack, in the hope Benn might tire.
The Ilford slugger made a great start to the second when a thudding left to body connected, Jamoye was winded, the delayed reaction the trademark of a perfect liver shot.
Jamoye was gasping for air but still standing yet he struggled seconds later with two illegal punches.
Benn was over eager to whack Jamoye’s body and caught him below the belt, but after a verbal warning, he repeated the same mistake and got a second caution by ref Steve Gray.
After an uneventful third round, Benn started the fourth with another groin shot and he was docked a point after one too many fouls.
But that only fired Benn up and he blew Jamoye out seconds later with a sickening combination that left him needing oxygen and helping up off the canvas.
