What he does better is far less relevant than what he does worse. Benavidez doesn't have the foot speed or the footwork in general to get to Bivol consistently, nor does he have the single-punch power to win without getting to Bivol consistently.
Bivol just went 24 straight rounds with the most destructive pressure fighter (by far) in boxing. Benavidez won't be easy to beat, but he certainly won't be as hard as Beterbiev.
Yes Bena has the fastest flurries, but Bivol has the fastest feet among big men!
In order to be competitive Bena must box good in the center of the ring where I believe much of the fight will take place
