Jacobs better stay away from this kid and so should Ward he will knock both of these guys out

Good fight.

Benavidez needs to stay off the ropes and stay on the front foot. He has the talent to beat Porky.

Good on him for taking risks thus early in his career

We'll see what Benavidez is really made of with Porky

[BigZ44]

Jesus that's a lot of mandatory fights the WBC is making. This is a good fight for Benavidez though, I think it is the right time to move him up to fighting contenders. Should be an entertaining scrap!

They aren't playing with this Benavidez brother. Looking forward to this fight. Porky got some respect from me in his DeGale performance so super curious how this one works out for the still inexperienced Benavidez.

Randomly anyone hearing anything about Jose? He get his finger shot off or kneecap blown off or is he good? Haven't heard many details about the actual severity of & injuries sustained.

Hell of a fight right here! Benavidez is really stepping up comp here! That is admirable taking a risk like this.
