Talk sh*t get hit. That’s just how it goes when you’re facing the best.
arrogance and stupidity…benavidez thought he won the fight from the official weight.
Nice fight but almost with only one contender who was able, as usual, to inflict an ugly defeat to a good boxer who wait too much for a “magic bullet” that never come. Crawford did an excellent job overwhelming Benavidez with perfect combinations and his always master change of stance.
What a uppercut.
This was a horrible fight..it makes me sick when boxing puts trash like this. Crawford should be fighting real contenders not taxi drivers..Benavides is a horrible fighter with no skills, talks sh*t and can’t back it up..I give this stupid fight one star…
