What on earth was the referee doing stopping Benitez against Davey Moore ?

A tremendous what?

A tremendous beating. He lost every round

Benitez broke his ankle but he also was never the same after suffering a tremendous from Mustafa Hamsho

Cheers.

They never mentioned this on the telecast, even his own father seemed oblivious and that was when he came down to ringside to do an interview, so assume Benitez was not in the ring at that point you would of thought they would of noticed something like that wouldn't you? im not calling him a liar just that its strange they never picked that up, unless he did not want to make it public there and then.

They showed clips of the Hamsho fight, did he fight under par ? they seemed to suggest that.

Hamsho is/was underated. His first fight with Hagler was great. Very good effort by him.

According to a Los Angeles Times article I read, Benitez broke his ankle in three places following the first round knockdown.

His father Gregorio Benitez, who was quite clueless and gambled away most of the money Benitez earned in his fights, initially thought it was something mental with his son. He said he wanted Wilfred to move while Benitez just stood in the corner, not noticing that he was visibly having problems with his right ankle as can be seen in the video you posted.

Benitez had put up a non-effort against Mustafa Hamsho previously when he tried to step up to the middleweight division and challenge Hagler.

That explains a lot then because his dad really seemed to have no idea.

I will keep my eye it for the Hamsho fight, cheers.

In the hamsho fight, benitez laid up against the ropes the entire fight. hamsho beat the hell out of his body and I did not give Benitez a single round. It was a 160 pound elimination fight.
