Great exciting fighter.
Love this kid, he will bang with anyone! I just really like everything about him.
WBA, WBC IBF WBO and the rest of the alphabet organizations should make it mandatory to fight the number 1 contender.
All these belt holders need to step up and take the mandatory fights. It shouldn’t matter if Benavides has a belt he is #1 ranked in his weight class.
