    jirov moved up to heavy and had some success there. he was one of the best body punchers that i have seen. this would have been a very good fight. benavidez by ud. or jirov breaks him down by the body and wins by late stoppage.

    Jirov is too strong IMO. Let's see what Benavidez does over the next couple of years and we can revisit this.

    Benavidez is too defensively sound in the pocket, he gets a UD in a technical inside war.

    David is a very good boxer but he shown that his power was a bit overrated, now this was not the case at super middle but it is at lhw. I think jirov as the naturally bigger man and harder puncher takes this one as I believe their skill is equal
