Benavidez... LOL

[tophat1]

Benavidez will duck smith .

[QueensburyRules]

I first saw this guy in highlight packets and thought he was a lanky, slow plodderlwith a bit of pop.

I saw him in a full fight for the first time against an almost shot opponent and now think he is a lanky, slow plodder with no pop.

If he ever grows the balls to fight Smith or be avoided he will get embarrassed.

Hahaha that was terrible stuff last night

- -You no pop with mega poop.

What were yer poopsy doing age 22?

[Real King Kong]

Benavidez has a deceptively fast/long/powerful jab...he switches up the rhythm well too. It’s definitely his best asset.

[_Rexy_]

He looked horrible last night by going life and death with a **** fighter.

Life and Death? Jesus that term gets thrown around too much.


Knocked him out in 7 rounds, and was up 4-2 at the time.

I wasnt impressed at all Dirrell was keeping it close before the cut imo... I piked benev for the win but hes nothing special but that jab will get him far

[SHO_RULEZ]

Wasnt impressed by Benavidez. For all the press conference trash talk, he came out way too cautious and respectful of his 34 to, shopworn opponent. A chance cut on Dirrell's eyelid woke Benavidez up midway through the fight. A real contender opens that cut within 3 rounds in and stops Dirrell shortly after.

[moochi]

I thought he was a lot better , after last night I think a little less of him as I expected him to destroy Dirrel. Had it not been for the cut , it would have probably ended in a 8-4 average fight.

[sicko]

It is clearly a lot of DRUNK and HUNG OVER Threads Started after big fights because it is always like a rush of just the dumbest threads after every fights

Benavidez looked strong last night I thought. That size, Work Rate, Hand Speed the way he mix up his punches that is going to be a problem for all at 168 AND he still only 22 Years Old so yes he can and will only get BETTER which is scary. He walks Plant down and stop him late IMO, I think he would out-work Eubank Jr who which in big fights and struggles to let his hands go when he does step up

Callum however will be his toughest challenge at 168

[Justintimothyko]

Idk why people say dirrel was a shot fighter. His record was 31-1-1.

As for his performance, I'd give him a B-. He didn't let his hands go until the 7th or 8th but when he finally did, he was impressive.
