Okay, so I was trying to catch the Benavidez vs Charlo fight, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster.
First, I searched for some background info on these guys. I found out David Benavidez is this undefeated beast, right? 29 wins, 24 knockouts. The dude’s a powerhouse, with an 82.8% knockout ratio. That’s insane! Apparently, he’s been in the ring for 148 rounds, so he averages about 5.1 rounds per fight. I read about one of his fights against Gavril, which seemed pretty intense. He even got knocked down in the last round. Talk about a close call!
- Started by looking up Benavidez’s record.
- Discovered his insane knockout ratio.
- Read about a tough fight he had with Gavril.
Then, there’s Jermall Charlo. Initially, the buzz was all about him fighting Canelo Alvarez. But, get this, Charlo apparently pulled out because he wasn’t ready. Something about being inactive and having personal stuff going on. So, instead, he decided to fight Jose Benavidez Jr. It was supposed to be a 10-round, non-title match at 163 pounds on November 25th.
The Setup
- Heard rumors about Charlo vs. Alvarez.
- Learned Charlo pulled out of the Alvarez fight.
- Got info that he’s fighting Jose Benavidez Jr. instead.
So, I dug around for videos and highlights of the Charlo vs. Benavidez Jr. fight. Checked out some Twitter updates too, just to see what the hype was about.
- Looked for fight videos and highlights.
- Scanned Twitter for updates and reactions.
I was really trying to get the full picture of this fight, you know? From what I gathered, it was a pretty big deal. It’s like, you have this undefeated champ, Benavidez, and then Charlo, who’s stepping in after backing out of a major fight. The whole thing just felt like a huge event I didn’t want to miss. I watched it.
And that’s my journey through this whole Benavidez vs Charlo fight saga. Pretty wild, right?
