Comments Thread For: Jessie Vargas, Jose Benavidez Trade Words - Fight Looming?
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - On Saturday night, Jose Benavidez (25-0, 16KOs) made his official debut as a welterweight on the Terence Crawford vs. Viktor Postol undercard.
Met Benavidez when he was 15. He's come a long way and it's hard for me not to cheer for him. But Jesse Vargas would be all over him like a cheap Sunday church suit. Wouldn't mind seeing that fight though.
Benavidez no looking like that elite prospect everybody thought he would be, I haven't seen anything special about him as a pro yet. All that leaning against the Ropes, it is going to be extremely hard to be top competition with that style. His stamina looks terrible to me which is why he leans on the Ropes. Watched him slow down by the 3rd Round last night.
