Benavidez is nowhere close to being ready. Broner is somewhat inexperienced as well, but he's faced the much better competition. Benavidez was pushed to his limits by a guy with 6 pro fights, a practical tomato can. This fight is an utter mismatch right now.
I'm sorry, Benavidez is solid, and could improve, but I think too many people have fallen in love with his sparring videos. Ever since people saw him land some punches on Pacquiao in a sparring session everyone went bat s.hit crazy over the kid.
Broner would dispatch of Benavidez inside 6 rounds, he is nowhere near close to being ready for someone of that level. I'm just not very impressed with him, because he's literally fought bum after bum. Broner, has at least been in with top 15-20 competition, and is ready to fight a very solid fighter in Escobedo tomorrow.
Benavidez is decent, but I see numerous holes in his game that haven't been taken advantage of yet because of the very low level of competition he's faced. And, against Rodriguez he looked very vulnerable and almost lost that fight. If he would of been in there with say, a gatekeeper or at least a decent journeyman, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for looking that bad, but he wasn't. We'll see how good Benavidez is eventually, but to me, this fight is beyond a mismatch. Period.
