Has anyone heard bout this new kid Jose Benavidez Jr? He used to train under Freddie Roach until his dad decided for them to go they're own path..anyway Freddie once said in a interview that Jose is the biggest prospect he has even bigger than Manny..with time obviously..theres a vid of Pacquiao and Jose sparring heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JL5DTKIbR0
idk y but I think this is the new Pacquiao..what are your thoughts on this kid?:boxing:
I have seen little clips of him sparring with khan, khan seemed faster, but this kid was stronger physically. He looks like something special, maybe a little too upright if your going to be picky
I can't seem to post it, but if you go to youtube and search Benavidez Round 1, you can see a trailer for a documentary they are making about Junior. I work with the team, so I'm biased, but he's a good kid, and works really hard. For his last fight, he donated a portion of his purse to the Children's Hospital and recently spoke at the onsite school there...he's just a humble kid who we hope has a bright future :)
i didnt click it but I posted there sparring vid months ago if thats the same one and its also been posted a few times since. Its cool though since its still new to some
no excuses to eat right hands like manny does in this video, even in Sparring!! the kid have skills

^^^^^^^^ :haha:
Benavidez is a young warrior and comparing him to Gayweather who's a scared homo fighter is considered blasphemy. :thumbsdow
Yeah, he's my favorite prospect. Met him in Dallas before Pacquiao fight.
Yea I heard he was down here in Dallas for that Pacquiao fight, I wanted to meet him but it was too packed. Hopefully he stays humble and doesn't forget where he came from, once he becomes a world champ like my boy Manny!
I can't believe this kid is only 17!!! He has great hands speed good balance and nice power. He's definitely going to be a star and I am excited to watch his development, the sky has no limits for this kid!!!
frankie gomez beat him when they were amateurs
[/QUOT E
Frankie Gomez is also a world class prospect, my respect to him but, Jose Benavidez is on another level now that he went pro. In a re-match he would win not by ko though
no man, he's 12-0 with 11 ko's. his first fight without roach went to a decision and the two after that were against horrible fighters, but he's still very good for his age, can't wait til he gets older and becomes a world champ, kid's a beast.
**** I was a lil off lol. Naw but kid got's skills for sure can you imagine how his confidence must of went up for sparring with Pacman? And obviously Pacman wasn't trying that's the cool thing about Pacquiao a humble mofo made it seem like Benavidez was whooping him to build that basic foundation that every boxer needs. Can you imagine Floyd doing something like this for young prospects? He would probably want 100 mil lol
This kid aint no joke! He went pro at the age of 17 his record consists of 11-0 all 11 wins by ko
