    This seems like a neat 147lbs bout I favour Donald but this is a good clash of fundamentals and reflexive shenanigans.

    Benitez on points, Curry is stiffer, Benitez would be able to get punches off and stay off of the centre line, while Curry wouldn’t:

    The lateral movement, counters, having more options of how to lead would allow Benitez to get the better of the fight more often.

    Yes think Benitez has that little extra here, I see it being a close fight.

    Great analysis! My thoughts exactly, Benitez wins a close one.

    Curry wouldn’t be able to find Wilfredo to hit him clean enough, often enough.

    Benitez counters off the ropes a good bit and wins roughly 10-5 or 9-6 in rounds.

    Donald wins a close one. If this is the McCrory version.
