I saw them fight. Bienvenidez got the better of Gesta but he also got the better of pacqiao in their sparring before. I think this guy will be something.

not impressed with either guy......

Benavidez looks very promising! I like his workrate and combinations. If he stays focused he's gonna be a force in the future.

Gesta has a lot of potential as well. I think he needs to work on his stamina/cardio. He looks like one of those explosive guys but lacks stamina. But if he stays hungry and has the right team behind him he has a bright future.

I would like to see benavidez fight a little tougher oppostion even though he's young i think he's ready for fighters like holt,mathessye

hes not strong enough for lucas. I see Matt eating him up and spitting him out right now. Patience.
