    Benitez would win a close decision 115-113 over 12 . Or 9-6 8-6-1 type decision.

    Benitez would win a close and very very boring fight. Wow. Both guys were good, Benitez was great, but talk about no action. One guy cannot be hit because of his movement and the other blocks all the punches.

    Benitez would win on a unanimous decision.But a focused Starling could cause some problems for him, and may be able to score an upset.

    Both were inconsistent, but the differance is Starling at his best was very good, Benitez at his best was GREAT. Plus the style matchup favors El Radar.

    Benitez by UD. Bit of a boring fight yes.

    If Starling was a bit more busy he could outhustle Benitez with body work, but he'll probably be just inactive enough to allow Benitez's slightly sharper countering to steer the fight in his favour.

    With that said, if Benitez turns up in the form he showed against Weston and Curry, I reckon even an inconsistent Mooch can get the decision.

    I'm thinking Benitez of the Leonard fight though, and I think Marlon just falls short with that version.

    Benitez would win by a unanimous decision, though Starling would make it interesting throughout the fight.
