    A very scientific fight. 2 great boxing brains trying to outsmart one another. I think I would just tilt towards Crawford though. I think he can take the better punch.

    Very close fight between 2 highly technically skilled fighter. I think this could be a split draw.

    Hi Buddy.
    I might take a slight friendly issue with you when you state that you think Crawford can take the better punch, that may or may not be the case, lest we forget Benitez swapped punches with, WW/ JMW/ and in some instances MWs, Cervantes, Palomino, Hope, Duran, Hamsho, Hearns !!! and although he was stopped by Leonard it was very late in the fight, so a bold assertion I would say, but that's your opinion and your very welcome to it.
    Stay safe Rodrigo, chat soon.

    Crawford it too well rounded for Benitez. The switch hitting and counter punching overwhelms him. Crawford KO round 10.

    He was also dropped 3 times by Bruce Curry at welterweight who wasn't a massive puncher, or anywhere as near as skilled as Terence Crawford.

    I’d favor Bud but man what a fight! One of those matchups where nothing would surprise me (other than an early knockout).
