What is going on with Jose Benavidez Jr.?

[Mayweather41-0]

I have watched a few of this kids fight and his sparring and really think he is the real deal. The last fight he was in he got rocked in the 8th round but was able to make it to the final bell and won a decision. I know he has had hand problems and his last fight was last October which is about 8 months ago and he hasnt fought since and has nothing scheduled. If anyone has an update throw it out there.

Not sold on him. Watched a lot of footage of Benavidez and don't see what the hype is all about.

I think it's good that he isnt schedule to fight at the present, the hype surrounding him wasn't helpful to him at all and now he can slowly heal and develop his body a bit more before getting back or resuming his career.

He looks like a rare talent in my eyes but to each their own.

His body punching is amazing, but glad he taking it slow hes young, and that body still needs to fill out.

2 fights a year till he come into his own then have 3-4 fights a year

Look at Justin Fortuna, Chris Martin, and all the fighters on ShoBox who are 11-0, 15-1, 22-0 fighting other fighters with 12-0, 16-0, 23-0 records....in other words they STEPPED UP and then look at Benavidez's PATHETIC opposition. Pretty obvious they are over protecting him. How in the hell does fighting guys with 6-9 and 4-4 records help a fighter???? And the WORST argument EVER is "because he is young". So how does his age matter if he is fighting 29 year olds then????? I'll tell you why. As long as the 29 year old is 6-9 then no problem at all!

He's young, and has plenty of time. Can't stand when people bash teenagers and 20-22 year olds for not stepping it up to the world level. They have all the time in the world.

At that age, they need to develop physically and more importantly, mentally.

Kid's a beast, he'll probably get some good TV time in 2014. He's not even old enough to buy beer though, just be patient, 2014 baby!

[285Kid]

the kid should be fighting 5x's a year
