Respect to the vanquished. He may have lost but he has nothing to be ashamed of.
He showed a ton of heart and had moments during the fight.
Even when he was losing in the final minutes of the fight he at least attempted to go for it.
He may have failed and gotten caught but that’s boxing.
Most other guys would have been content to run and at least boast about not getting stopped.
It takes courage to put it on the line. I’d watch him fight again any day.
his leg was a big factor hell I don't think he can ever be in good boxing shape with a leg like that. jose just cant move he can win against bums but at the top that leg will always be his down fall
I feel like after this Spence would beat Crawford.
Spence is too big and powerful for TC. Benavidez just didn’t have enough mobility to get to TC.
Spence will take the fight to TC anywhere in the ring.
I feel the same. Honestly, a healthy motivated Thurman beats Crawford no doubt as well.
MUCH RESPECT TO BENAVIDEZ!
BENAVIDEZ proved at 100% before the shooting & long lay off he would of beat coward-ford. Now we all see why he ducked Jose for years.
Danny Garcia would have a better chance winning seeing the way Benavidez stood his ground and landed good counter shots against Bud.

He landed some good shots, he was pot shottijg and countering effectively first 5 rounds. Problem was, that's all he was doing and was getting out worked and basically digging himself a whole he couldn't climb out of. By Round 6-7 he was already basically out of the fight even tho he has landed the better punches going into the 6th round. His game plan was ****. He was better off chasing Crawford around and pitty pattering him. But he said his legs ****ed up so.
Yeah, he talked a lot of ***** but people were acting like he was just some random dude that no one ever heard of.
He went 12 with Bud. If his knee gets better and he gets some tune-ups he can still get big fights.
I don’t think that knee is ever going to be good again. But he can still be a top challenger. Not everyone can be champion. We need good gatekeepers to keep the talent pool high.
