Benitez should win by decision but there's a reasonable chance Oscar lands a big left hook and ends it all while behind.
Dee La Hoya spends a frustrating evening missing and getting tagged often enough to make him think twice... Occasionally he throws a 6 punch combo to Benitez's arms and Jim Lampley, pre-seminal fluid leaking into his pleated slacks, prostate swelling with aching desire, shouts "LOOK AT OSCAR! HE SAYS C'MON LET'S FIGHT! How do you like it?! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?!?!" Benitez wins a 117-111 type of fight by split scores of 115-113, 114-113 and 112-116 and petre says "You boys believe everything you hear but I've got a 137 inch Dark Matter-powered ectoplasm TV and I and my 78 guests scored it for Oscar and couldn't believe how biased Lampley was in favor of Benitez"
No way does Benitez have a six point lead. If he wins it's close. My pick is oscar. He's faster and more versatile. There'd be some mild protest, like there was when odh beat whitaker.
LOL. Double would be the only one to pick Oscar. Benitez would school the shit outta DLH. The difference in class between Oscar and the likes of Leonard, and Hearns is HUGE! Oscar wouldn't be able to figure out Will to save his life. Benitez wins with much room to spare on the cards.
For me Benitez is just too skillful and smart for Oscar. I think early on it'll be tit for tat, with some feel out, and both guys being cautious, splitting rounds. But by the mid rounds Benitez will be start to take control and he'll time De La Hoya with counters all night. No stoppage here in either a 12 or 15 rounder. But Benitez wins convincingly. He's just too good and complete.
