Adrian Granados is promising to turn up against Conor Benn. The welterweight pair meet on July 31st on week one of Fight Camp 2, exclusively live on DAZN, and the American veteran is backing himself to halt Benn’s incredible momentum.
The Illinois fighter is no stranger to boxing’s biggest platforms, and he’s unlikely to be intimidated by Benn’s credentials. After going the distance with Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner in losing efforts, Granados will be aiming to cause a significant upset against Benn, and he likes his chances.
“I’ve kind of only shown some of my tools and some of the tricks that I have,” said Granados when speaking to Proboxing-fans.com.
“I have a lot more than Conor Benn, and that’s why like I said he’s talking about whatever I bring he’s going to figure it out, I’ve got a lot of tools, I’m like a Swiss Army knife, and that’s what I’m planning to show. Whatever he’s going to try to figure out, then I’m going to try and throw another curveball. I’ll do whatever I have to do because I’m trying to win the fight.”
Granados continued, “I understand what he’s trying to do. He’s going to dismantle me, whatever talking all that tough talk. He doesn’t know where I’ve come from, and he doesn’t know what I’ve been through, and that’s why I’m not worried about what he’s doing or what he’s saying either. Whatever Conor Benn wants to come with. If he wants to box, we can box. If he wants to bang, we can bang. I’ve been in there with some of the best, and now it’s time for me to get a big win over one of the best, so that’s what I plan on doing, and I’m excited.
“I was going through the motions. However, the talking he’s doing is turning me up, and I’m excited for a good fight now.”
