Mind you his cause was helped by Curry punching himself out when he had Benitez hurt. Id have given Benitez 4 rounds at the MOST. Which is a close fight considering it was a 10 rounder. However you knew Curry had won the fight clearly even though it was close in the end.
    I think I had it 5-4-1 or 6-4 in favor of Curry, I haven't watched the fight in a while though and yeah, I felt Curry won the fight and it's a shame he didn't get the decision, it would have been his biggest win by far. Not to make excuses for Benitez but I think he didn't train much for the fight and took Curry lightly, but even so, he still had trouble with Curry in their second fight.

    A little off topic but Bruce Curry was involved in a great underrated classic with Monroe Brooks.

      Yeah sounds about right to me.

      Did Munroe Brooks fight Duran or Arguello? i seem to remember his name. I think he was stopped on a body shot or something, if im right. Thanks for the tip i will look out for that fight.

        Brooks fought Duran not long after he fought Curry and he fought Saensek Muangsurin (RIP) for the light welterweight title. Very good amateur, solid professional fighter.

        You can read up on the fight here, they threw power punches from beginning to end, tried to knock each others head off from the opening bell.

              New York was one of the last states to go to the points system.
