    Benavidez's high guard is fantastic

    All I got to say. Doesn't get mentioned enough.

    I was very impressed by his defense. I thought he was going to get hit a lot more.

      It was extremely effective tonight against Morrel.

        He has very long arms that very effectively offer a good shield. The numbers for his reach, which is actually just a fighter's wingspan, do not reflect the fact that David has very narrow shoulders and very long arms.

        that's my theory anyway.

          It's especially effective with his trunks pulled up to his nips.

          But no, Benavidez's defense is definitely underrated.

                  Shame he couldn't get the canelo fight as I think he looked better at 168 but he's still a danger at 175.

                  He was the much better man tonight that's for sure. Enjoyed his uppercuts.

                    Where am I hating? He keeps his trunks high. It's a fact.
