Julian Jackson vs. Wilfred Benitez at 154

Easy fight for Wilfred. A guy who you know is gonna come at you, against a guy who knows what you are going to do. Wilfred will stop Jackson, catching Julian while he is coming in trying to land something big. I see this as an easy fight for Benitez. It's conceivable that JJ can catch Wilfred and get a KO, but I doubt it.

 

Great boxer beats the Great Puncher. I dont think Jackson pulls one out the hat in this one. Benitez by wide decision or possible late stoppage.

 

Benitez picks Jackson apart and the fight gets stopped before the final bell.

 

Benitez might be outboxing him early until Julian lands that big bomb. Lights out, El Radar.

 

A fight that could honestly go either way. Jackson is no Maurice Hope, and Benitez sometimes relied on his natural talent a bit too much and could almost be lackadaisical.

Assuming he turns up fully focused, he'll outpoint Jackson, but The Hawk has a real chance in the 1st five rounds to just smash through Benitez.

 

like most i feel a focused benitez wins a ud

 

I'm the same as most. Benitez out classing or Jackson just getting his puncher's chance lucky bomb in and ending it.

 

Benitez is outboxing Jackson from a distance, using his superior head movement and hand speed to keep The Hawk at by. Next thing you know, Benitez gets lazy, Jackson lets one go and it's "OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" all over again.

That's how Jackson wins all fantasy match ups in my mind.

 

Yeah Benitez isnt Herol Graham though. I think Benitez wins a decision.

 

I'm 95% sure that this is the most likely situation. Benitez wins a decision probably in a walk...that said, I'm being contrarian on this and not passing up my self imposed mandate to drop the quote from the Herol Graham fight whenever applicable.

There's no way Jackson could win a decision against Benitez and knocking him out? I don't think he could do that either. Benitez is too slick.

 

I don't blame you, for what it's worth. That line should be milked for all its worth. It is milk-worthy. I also like a few seconds afterward ''Geeee, that was a helluva shot." It's also worth mentioning. I've used the word 'worth' many different ways here today. And I am satisfied.

 

The casual attitude of the other commentator on "Geeee that was a hell of a shot!" is a hidden highlight. Isn't that the same fight where said commentator goes "Bam! There ya go!" while watching the highlight?

Just a perfect broadcast which symbolizes the despair that comes with a home town guy losing.

 

:good:good:good

 

Benitez has to do everything right, every second of the fight, which he might do.

Jackson only has to do one thing right, one second of the fight, which he also might do.

Herol Graham?
