    In his third weight class, that was just amazing.

    He definitely was waiting on that one. And the smile after it landed was classic.

    I love this KO.

    Benitez fought pretty aggressively in this fight.

    No need to follow up with anything...he knew when that landed that that was it. Terrific shot.

    It showed Benitez could do it all, its tragic of what has become of such a great champion would have loved to see him get a rematch against Leonard I know he wanted for years.
