    The Argentinian strongman up against The Dark Destroyer.
    Much as I like Benn, I see Roldans chin taking his best shots and stopping him, in around 9.

    I agree, Roldan would survive Benn's best, but he probably would get
    dropped. Benn would get stopped by Roldan.

    This would come down to heart and Benn had a bigger one. He wins by KO but probably gets off the floor to do it.

    Would be a war either way. Benn was vicious at middle weight and anyone was in danger of getting hurt against him.

    I think both would definitely be down during this and it would be very hard fought but lean towards a later rounds stoppage win for Roldan.

    A real war this one.
    I think Benn’s shorter more precise punches would prevail.
    I don’t think it’s a good idea to have a slugfest with Nigel Benn.

    This should be a cagey technical affair, a matter of whether Juan’s fancy footwork and hooking off the jab while boxing on is toes would be too much for Nigel’s slick, amateur-based stick-and-move style would prevail.
