Bena fighting like he is on someting. Mentally erratic and so is his corner telling him he is doing great. no sense of urgency, unless im seing something else.

Just standing there showing he can take the power, but losing every minute painfully.

It's a dumb performance for a professional fighter.

What do you mean? Like he is on pain numbing medication. He's clearly not a smart fighter.

Don't think he's underperforming or on something - it's just what he does. Great chin and machismo, little else.

His posing, his sticking his tonge out, his being happy to take punches well. could be a combination of being hit too many times and stupidity

He did it against Crawford from memory. I believe it's what he resorts to when he is out of answers. Silly fighter.

Good performance by DJ against a durable albeit dumb fighter.

holy shit. draw? someone tacke that judge

omfg! A judge called it a draw. Shocking!!!!!!

That judge needs to be looked at closely.

A draw on one card

Bena is mumbling like he is been hit too many times.

Respect to DJ!

I'd like him to fight Thurman again. The Harrison fight is also a great fight although clearly DJ doesn't want it.

gary antuanne russell is really good, but the rrefs seem out to make sure he keeps his ko streak or something. the last 2 stoppages he had were well too early, especially the postol one as there was like 30 seconds left

benavidez has never been much tbh, people shouldnt have been expecting him to put in much. was lucky to get a draw last time vs that guy sheeraz just stopped. his best win was the fight vs herrera at 140 that he shouldve lost

Barthelemey stoppage was bad.

That ref is usually ok.

Kownacki lost fair.

Close but clear for Ali.

Kow has not lost 3 in a row.

DSG won comfortably.

The draw card was bullshit.

Compubox Stats



Former two division world champion Danny Garcia landed a career high 153 body punches on Jose Benavidez, Jr. Garcia landed double digit body punches in every round except the first round, where he landed 9. Benavidez only landed 12 body punches, averaging 1 per round. Garcia landed 52% of his power punches, and 62 more jabs than Benavidez.

Danny Garcia looked good. The extra weight suits him.

119-109 Garcia, easy boring routine win for Garcia, couldn't tell you the last time I enjoyed a Danny Garcia fight but I'll cut him some slack as it was a dominant win after 2 years out at a new weight, he controlled the fight with the jab, liked his body work as well, good defensively although Benavidez offered precious little apart from the odd right hand and constantly sticking his tongue out, poor effort

For reference, the judge who scored Garcia-Benavides a draw also had Horn beating Manny Pac 9-3. Should have been banned then

Wouldn’t mind seeing Thurman-Garcia 2 at 154

Kownacki now must be in the who cares basket?
Who the heck in his team thinks face forward is how to box?
The guy has learned nothing in defence in all this time. I hope he has a plan B.

I didn't watch the fight but he's so far down the pecking order now he might aswell just pick up cheques as an opponent now. Did Demirezen look good at least?

None of them looked good, per se, but Demirezen looked to be boxing better and to have a better physical condition.

Good win for Danny! Dominant win is always good for a debut in a new weight. I laugh at folks that think it was close.

I also laugh at DG calling out a welterweight (Thurman) and Lara, (a 39yr old middleweight at 155). Wtf dude. Making money, I get it but come on.
