Wilfred Benitez vs Ike Quartey @ 147

Will's skills & defense or Ike's jab and pressure.... which wins out?

 

Benitez by decision.

 

Talk about Zzzz.

I'll say me TKO by 6 after dozing off watching these two attempt to "box" with each other.

 

Benitez in his prime was just too good. I take Benitez by dec.

 

Thread over. Still, why waste finger strength. If a MM involves a Puerto Rican it will be boring. Puerto Ricans are almost 100% the most boring, stinkiest fighters on the planet. Obviously, Tito is an exception and sometimes Cotto, but I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A TV ban of Puerto Ricans subject to affirmative proof of their un-Puerto Ricaness. The Isla de combatientes aburridos has brought us:
Camacho 1 and 2
Ruiz
Oquendo
Benitez
Calderon
Even Rosario was the most boring puncher of all times. They even fuck that up.
I rest my case.

 

I agree, and he was super tough as well.

 

i'd actually go with Ike. and i say actually because historically, Benitez is undoubtedly the higher regarded fighter. But Quartey's jab would shut Benitez's offense down - he'd have trouble winning rounds.
