Minus the bad cut on the eyelid, I thought Dirrell was showing Benavidez to be vulnerable. He is good, especially if he hurts you (but who isn't?). Still, I was surprised at how vulnerable Benavidez looked, in with a fighter who was not afraid and has some skills. Dirrell is slowing down, but I think he would have done some damage without the injury.
I think Benavidez will have trouble within the SMW Top 10. Eventually he will need to move to LHW, and there will be much more trouble there. His size, reach, and power are impressive though.
