Comments Thread For: Dirrell: I Was Winning Benavidez Fight Until The Cut, I'm Knocking Davis' Ass Out!

I just love it when fighters say " I was winning, until I lost"!

Roger Mayweather was beating Chavez until he lost. Saw the video the other day. Was hilarious to see someone in such denial.

Hard to impress when one guy is backpedaling the entire fight and assuming he's outboxing his opponent. Benavidez barely got outta first gear in walking him down and beating him up. Cut or no cut, he was gonna beat Dirrell down the same way anyway. Dirrell did nothing to keep Benavidez off of him, so Benavidez just took his time and eventually got to him.

Benavidez was following him. No cutting off the ring and barely used his jab to close the distance. The ring was a punchers ring too.
Last week fight with shiskin, he did an excellent job at cutting of the ring with a more mobile opponent.

Benavidez got saved because of the cut which dirrel gets alot. If dirrel wasnt prone to cuts then it would of gone to a boring unimpressive decision

Never have been impressed with the Dirrell Brothers. They have skills but wasn't a fan of their temperament; their fights always required the opponent to make it entertaining. I imagine he will be good enough to beat Davis but will be the same story at the championship level.

Such a warrior, going against the infamous #95 160 pounder and showing no fear at all.

Yea he won like 2 rounds if thats what he means, Benavidez was barely turning it up on him when they stopped it because he was getting ****ed up

More delusion from the Dirrels.

You musta bored asleep with your cuz bc he had that jab on deck the whole fight. That's the punch he cut him with. Yea he was following him around the ring most of the time. But as the fight went on, Dirrell slowed down, Benavidez turned up the heat, and it got too hot in there for him so his corner pulled the plug before it got any worse for Dirrell. Boring or not, the W is what matters the most and Benavidez made it look easy getting it. Unless you can hurt Benavidez or push him back, he's gonna eventually run you over. Nobody at 168, aside from Canelo, will stand a chance at beat him. And he's still only 24. Plenty of room for him to grow and improve.
