Conor Benn took a significant step up the ranks of the welterweight division, which is the most competitive category in contemporary boxing, when he stopped the American veteran Chris Algieri with a finish of clinical brutality near the end of the fourth round in Liverpool on Saturday night. Almost as impressively, the year-old Benn boxed with a new maturity and calm throughout the contest. But from the outset the contest looked one-sided as Benn backed Algieri against the ropes. The older fighter stuck his tongue out in the opening round as if he had nothing to fear but at the break his cornermen were already trying to curb the swelling around his eyes. Algieri went down for the first time in the second round when a cuffing left hook caught him off balance. He tumbled heavily to the canvas and rolled towards the ropes but Algieri looked more aggrieved than hurt as he was forced to take a standing eight count. Benn retained his discipline through the next two rounds and, in the finest performance of his career so far, he sealed his 20th straight victory with authority. He forced Algieri to retreat to the ropes and, with 10 seconds left in the fourth round, produced his stunning knockout. A left jab down the pipe was followed by a perfect right hand which made Algieri crumple forward, in slow motion, before falling face first towards the canvas. It was a worrying knockout but, fortunately, Algieri was helped to his feet after a few minutes.
