[url] This content is protected [/url] Freddie Roach's young protege is making his debut on Fox Sports Net vs. Steven Cox, 1-0-1KO, on the Martirosyan-Ouma undercard. The kid was like 120-5 as an amateur, won the 2009 Golden Gloves National jr. welter championship, and is highly touted as one of Roach's best young fighters. He was just signed recently by Top Rank. GOOD NEWS-BENAVIDEZ BOUT WILL BE TELEVISED! ANOTHER FIGHT WAS SCRATCHED CREATING ROOM FOR BENAVIDEZ. :happy
This would be good to know. It's been a while since my last viewing of a boxing program on Fox Sports Net (Comcast Sports Net here)...does anybody else recall how many bouts they usually show? It's probably not as many as a FNF (usually a couple of short ones and then two cofeatures)...we'll assume Martirosyan-Ouma and Garcia-Hernandez at least will be shown...do they ever do more than 2?
He recieved some hype lately and I even read some "the next De La Hoya" headlines, let's see how he looks in his debut. Based on the interviews on YT he looks like a nice, dedicated kid. I wish him good luck.
From what I read he signed 8 fight televised deal with Top Rank. Here is the source. [url]http://www.azcentral.com/sports/boxing/articles/2010/01/14/20100114-boxing-jose-benavidez-CR.html[/url]
yeah, thats the guy a lot of people are comparing him to....surprised GBP didn't pick him up, he just signed to Top Rank.
