I had Garcia up 119-109. Benavidez fought a defensive fight with hands held high and couldn't deal with the hand speed of Garcia. The judge ruling 114-114 should be suspended. A rematch with Thurman would be good. Russell was in a good fight and on his way to victory when the referee prematurely called a halt and should be suspended. Demirezen lost the first couple of rounds and probably won 9 of them.
The prelim show on YouTube was pretty cringe. El Diamante did a nice job, as usual, but the rest of the broadcast team were stepping all over each other. Also, Boots Ennis has a personality that makes Bud Crawford look downright gregarious.

Benavidez was pretty disappointing.

Thanks and it was a mismatch.
Garcia vs Liam Smith would be a good fight [if the world of promoters/broadcasters were simple]!
Yeah, nobody wants to see that fight, dude. Beefy is a gatekeeper.
