    Unlike a past primed Whitaker, I think Benitez would be able to make Oscar PAY for his misses. Sweet Pea made Oscar miss but didn't pay him back enough and it cost him the fight, and STILL there are many who thought Whitaker won.

    How does this one play out?

    Against the Palomino version of Benitez, Oscar wins a few rounds, but not many tbh. Benitez wins this going away.

    Benitez should be a pretty big favorite but I don't see it as a virtual shutout.

    If it's a 15 rounder, Benitez wins about 10-5.

    12 rounder, Benitez wins 8-4 or 9-3.

    Agreed. All I'm saying is that some of the rounds would be close but that would probably be the average score.

    Despite his Handspeed, DeLa was WIDE as Hell w/Most of his Shots...Benitez Picks him Apart, Primarily...


    Having Said That, Benitez WOULD Get Comfortable and Start Clowning @ Times, Which Could COST him vs. DeLa...But if he Plays it Straight, Benitez UD, 9 Out of 10 Times...

    Mind you, this fight is only competitive at 147 because Oscar was damn good at 147.

    At 154, it's a wipe out. 154 was arguably Benitez best weight, and Oscar was far from great as a junior middle.
