    Wilfred Benitez-Pete Ranzany. I'm prejudiced because I was a Pete fan but this one was movement and action from start to finish. Wilfred was the better boxer and overall fighter but Pete fought a tough, game fight. It was such a clean fight that I don't even remember any clinches, just movement, jabbing and assorted combos. The ref had very little to do. Wilfred won a hard fought decision but he had to work for it and Pete did himself proud.
