Comments Thread For: Jose Benavidez Jr. Remains Out To Rest Right Hand

Like I said regarding Russell Jr, why are you gonna make him step up and if he ****s up his hand and takes a beating fighting one handed? Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Would you rather break your hand for a 15K fight or 100K fight? Fighting a setup and breaking his hand pays less than fighting a contender and breaking your hand.

Would you rather break your hand fighting for 15k knowing you will win or would you rather take 100k and lose (most likely take a beating too) cause now you have stepped up vs people you can't afford to fight 1 handed against. Oh and you know how **** goes nowadays when you lose that "0".

But like I said, he's only fighting on Telemundo or whatever other channels. He's not taking up anyone's budget or slot on HBO or Showtime.

His team needs to stop putting him in with hopeless, hapless setups and gravy train fights. Enough sub 500 and no names. If you are going to injure your hand, it may as well be against another prospect or low level contender, instead of a setup.

They have to. Benavidez is vulnerable. They know what goes down in camp and behind the scenes. We don't.

There are many young guys who are stepping up. Go look at Javiar Fortuna's record. It includes a former world champ and 2 unbeaten prospects. TONS of young guys on ShowBox have already stepped up by their 12-15th fight. All they are doing is over-protecting Benevidez.

That is correct.

Then he needs to retire. None of the other hundreds of prospects who face each other on ShowBox and other media are taking non-stop setups like Benavidez. He is the perfect example of over-protection which does no good for a career. Obviously there is a huge concern regarding him. Probably his chin since he was badly hurt against a guy who is not some KO artist.
