Pettis landed some good counters but the constant attack of Benevidez may get him tge knod.

I had it 29-28 Joe B. 30-27 Pettis is bad. I thought Joe took rounds 2 and 3.

Right call in my opinion.  Benavidez didn't have as many significant strikes as was given to him on the stats sheet IMO. Plus the 2 for 19 on takedowns hurt him.

Petis hasn't done **** in the second a third round except few jabs. Are you ******* kidding me? 30-27? That should be a crime to judge it like that.

Yeah, Joe's takedowns weren't landing but Pettis wasn't landing much offense either. Joe out-struck him and Pettis' strikes weren't landing too much harder in the second and third rounds.

Sergio should get the title shot after Cejudo. And I thought he won the fight. He was able to stuff most td's of Joe so he dictated where the fight took place. And he did way more damage

I have been watching Rashad fight for what feels like forever. He has fought so many great fighters and champions. But, I think it's time to call it. I understand that some guys stay because the $ is too good to pass on, but what good is a pile of cash if you can't enjoy it.
