Cuevas vs Benetiz

I think Cuevas gets embarassed.

 

Totally embarassed and outclassed by prime Benitez.

 

That was my first thought too but with Cuevas power I´m not too sure. What if Cuevas catches Benitez bigtime in the beginning, making Benitez gunshy? I don´t think Cuevas knocks him out but I could see Cuevas winning a SD/MD against a defensiv minded, gunshy Benitez.

 

I think Benitez outslicks him, unless something big happens. (A shot that takes away Benitez' legs for half the fight, a huge cut ala what happened against Leonard, etc). Still, you can't completely count Cuevas out.

I'd go with El Radar via UD though.

 

Yeah, Wilfred for me.

 

Benitez wide UD

 

Cuevas is easily outboxed until he catches Benitez and then its over.

 

Either Pipino by KO or Benitez by decision....I lean toward the former.

 

Benitez by UD or TKO.

Hearns couldn't get him, or Duran or Leonard. I don't see Wilfred getting caught by Cuevas, though anything is possible.

check that forgot Leonard got a tko, but nonetheless. Wilfred was something special

 

If Cuevas caught Benitez he'd be dead, not gunshy.

 

Agreed

 

maybe but I don't see it happening, though I did say in my post anything is possible.

 

I don't see it happening either, but based on Russ's if, well a flush shot from Cuevas is terror for anyone let alone someone who doesn't take the greatest shot.

Granted he didn't often have to take any shot due to his incredible reflex and anticipation.

Benitez was unlucky both Dundee, then Steward took their stars in with absolutely bomb proof gameplans built to take away Wilfred's extraordinary abilities and advantages. IMO it might be Dundee's best ever work strategically. Steward came out publically and nutted out his gameplan to a tee, and then Hearns followed it to the letter excepting one brief flutter of overeagerness.

 

I can't disagree with any of the above
