    Benavidez 7-12 was free money

    Not really, it was Yarde's shitty gas tank that did.

    Respect to Yarde. He's a very good fighter but mismanaged and surrounded by yes men hasn't played out well for him

    This is how I envisioned it would be, how it went during the last few rounds for Benavidez. Yarde is always going to come off 2nd best if he stands in front of him when backed against the ropes. Benavidez has too much variety in his attacks when you stand in front of him and he'll bust you up and beat you down.

    Yarde has natural gifts but he boxes like someone admiring themselves in the mirror. A lot of sizzle but no steak. He boxes like he thinks he's Floyd or Roy but he isn't Floyd or Roy

    Eh? I don’t really care much for any fighter on the card. I naturally supported the British fighters but not really invested in any of them.

    Time for Benavidez to step up from C level fighters to the top already

    Good speed, decent power, endless stamina, solid chin. That's a dangerous combo.

    That was accumulation of punches that wore and beat down Yarde. Not a one punch power. Benavidez landed a monster punch and Yarde ate it and was still up and ref jumped in.

    Yeah Yarde was landing cleanly way too often. Can't see Benavidez winning that one.

    Tunde's lack of strategy is pathetic for this level. Yarde got absolutely slapped from pillar to post from the off. Horrible to watch at the end because he's such a likable guy, the ref stopped it at the right time. Benavidez is such an exceptional talent that it was an obliteration of the highest order. Punch selection, speed, and killer instinct are among the best I've seen at 175 for a long time. 10/10 performance.

    Those two are fighting next year so Benavidez has to wait a while.

    Stop overselling it, Yarde was walking him into counters all night, even had him hurt. Yarde is just a 7 round fighter, nothing has changed. David's power is garbage at 175.

    That was impressive. Wouldn't mind seeing Benavidez against Bivol.
