    what do you guys think of this fight?

    obviously locche would give away weight but his defensive skills and chin would account for it. Benitez was probably quicker and had better reactions but didnt have as good defence IMO.

    i see it playing out like SRL benitez

    LMAO! Locche was no Leonard. Leonard beat Benitez due to having the superior handspeed, and power. Locche has neither over Benitez.

    I see Benitez outpointing Locche clearly in a dull fight. Neither liked to lead, but Benitez was better at it, and El Radar had the superior quickness which would allow him to beat Locche to the punch more times than not.

    sorry i dint make myself quite clear enough,i mean it would play out like Leonard hearns in the fact taht they would both be in front of each other with very few clean hits. btw i agree with your choice of winner and methods.

    Wny not just have the fight at 140? Either way I'd also take Benitez because of his superior outside game, though it would undoubtedly be an extremely tactical affair.
