One should never underestimate the will, mind, spirit and resolve of a prizefighter. Benavidez didn't come to lay down for Crawford he came to fight. He displayed tons of balls with a bum knee.
Crawford was wise. He knew that Jose was trying to lure him into a firefight early, so he was very patient and methodical as usual, in his approach and broke him down slowly over a period of time.
He didn't rush or force the stoppage. Besides, Benavidez, Jr was the naturally larger and stronger guy. What he lacked in skills he more than made up for in physical ability.
Overall, I tip my hat to Terence Crawford on a beautiful display of boxing.
