Wilfred Benitez vs. Nicolino Locche at 140

This thing could easily have gone to a draw.

 

While both have great defenses, Benitez has the better offense so I'll go with him

 

Dude, what are you trying to do to us? Two counter-punching defensive wizards....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Yeah, in this case the offensive superiority of Benitez may have swayed the affair ever so slightly in his favor...great defensive whiz's should never be matched against one another.

 

Benitez's hand speed, jab and overall superior offence gives him a lopsided decision IMO.

 

This.

One thing to add...Benitez would be physically stronger too. I agree with the lopsided decision.

 

I think its hard to give Locche a good chance when he fights a guy who wont commit too much in a fight, Locche might take afew rounds due to Benitez getting abit over-confident as he sometimes did, but except from taht happening there is nothing Locche can really do here IMO.

 

Yeah, Benitez is a lot rangier, and naturally larger/stronger as well. His far superior jab would be key in taking what would likely be a very slow fight.

 

As previous posts have stated, Benitez on points in a defensive affair.
