He was my dads favorite fighter. Everytime i would come home from the gym he would always say benitez had the most talent he ever seen. Boxing is a brutal sport

Between him and the health issues surrounding Norris, Norton, Morrison and some other fellows, as well as all the guys we've lost this year, 2012 is looking cursed for boxing fans.

I cannot even imagine how much high school arse he tapped after that.
