Stevenson-Benn neither makes sense from a weight-class standpoint, nor from a competitive standpoint, either. Stevenson, a four-division champion who won his first title at featherweight, was fighting for the first time at 140lbs, while Benn has fought his most recent fights at middleweight against arch-rival Chris Eubank Jnr, and primarily has been a welterweight since turning pro a decade ago. Though Benn sports a respectable 24-1 (14 KOs) record, his biggest credential to date is avenging his prior decision loss to Eubank, a fringe super-middleweight contender.
