But benavidez has 17 years of evolution + modern supersoldier ecuadorian genes so it evens it out, right?
perhaps. but he beat Rcky in the rematch cleanly though. also fought on even terms with Hill. Was not Maske also an olympic gold medalist.
He LOST to Hill and Rocky beat him the first time but didn't get the decision hence the rematch. Williams hadn't fought in ALMOST TWO YEARS when they fought. Name me his "top" 3 wins and you would struggle.
I had him beating Hill the first fight, and rather handily. And he certainly destroyed him in the second. Rocky should have gone back to pimping. Maske put on a Masters Class, as he did every time he entered the ring.
If he had beaten Hill or that fight was even remotely close Maske would have easily gotten the nod being that they fought in GERMANY. I only regret is that Maske didn't fight Darius because Darius would have beaten the bell out of him.
Maske was champ. That's why the fight was in München. A Czech, a Dago and a Flemish did the judging, not a Teuton. And they screwed it up. Thankfully Maske was allowed to set the record straight in a return match. DM would have been eaten alive by the powerhaus Maske.
