Jose Napoles of Curtis Cokes fights vs Wilfred Benitez of Palomino fight. Napoles said "Cokes didn't know where the punches were coming from"; whereas, Benitez is "El Radar". 15 rounds, fight in Las Vegas (neutral ground)
Napoles TKO9 Benitez... I love Benitez, but Mantequilla would match him in slickness, deck him early, like in the 1st or 2nd. Benitez would have his moments shortly afterwards by making a few of Jose's followup shots miss, but Napoles would get wise, lay back and be content to make it a chess match until the 8th, when another shot decks Wilfred. Still groggy and unsteady coming out for the 9th, Napoles surprises him...catching him with a deadly right....Benitez has no legs getting to his feet, and the ref stops it. Benitez was a marvel, but this was Mantequilla Napoles he was fighting.
