  Undefeated Welterweight contender Conor Benn scored a brutal fourth round knockout of former WBO Jr. Welterweight world champion Chris Algieri on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Benn began the fight by trying to establish an attack to Algieri’s body. Algieri, a fighter known for his lateral movement and ability to pick his spots was unable to find a rhythm due to both Benn’s body attack as well as his head movement, which limited Algieri’s ability to land his jab.
