    Benny by clear decision. He finishes the job started by Meldrick and Pernell. JCC had that body attack, but Tendler hammered Leonard's body with his huge southpaw left to little avail. Chavez would need to stop Benny to win, and Leonard was too tough, too resourceful and too skilled to let that happen. Benny's own power was nothing to be ignored either.

    I don't see how Benny can lose this one. Chavez makes it interesting with his body attack, but Leonard has just a little too much of everything, namely the power Meldrick Taylor didn't have.
