In today’s episode of BoxingScene Today, we look at whether this is the right career move for Benavidez, how it affects his championship future, and what challenges await him in the 175-pound division.

Stay or move up. He’s outgrown 168.

If he gets past yarde. But even then he gets schooled by bivol and smashed by beterbiev if age hasn't caught up to him.
Cruiserweight is ok. Him against billam Smith would be good while Ramirez unifies. Then a fight between the two can be billed as a big Mexican fight.
