He did look pretty flat-footed, but he's got great firepower. It might just have been his gameplan to slowly stalk Dirrell, whose power he clearly didn't respect at all. I was struck by how much bigger he was than Dirrell and I can't help but wonder if he's really a natural light heavyweight.
Benavidez... LOL

Benavidez does have areas he needs to improve but good thing for him is that time is on his side as far as age goes. I think the best thing for him would have been to wait until he was a tad bit older like 24 to challenge for a title since he has an obligation to step up the competition now that he is a champion.
That said the key to beating Benavidez at this point is to not engage him but just use the whole ring and pot shot him. You want to keep him in 1st gear for the whole fight if you can. He is one of those boxer that if he starts kicking into gear 3, 4, and 5 offensively then you are going to find yourself in trouble.Comment

Benavidez is the class of the division he’s way better than smith and plant two guys that look like amateurs.
But let the hate continue David will whoop all them clowns.Comment

People forget he's 22 he's going to be a handful as he ages. Great power punch variety and handspeed. He intimidates people in there.Comment

Both Smith and Benevidez are light heavies. Both, I think, are bigger than the latest version of Kovalev anyway.He did look pretty flat-footed, but he's got great firepower.

Na, Plant isn't that good and Daey boy would stop him. The cream of the division is Smith, followed by Ramirez. Both would beat Benavidez imo but I am not sure those fights ever get made.
class of his own gym maybe...
I know, he was eating some right hands from a much smaller guy and plodded forward like he was a journeyman.
What power?Comment
