Undefeated Benavidez (18-0, 17 KOs) did an admirable job serving as a Fox Sports 1 guest commentator for former champion Brand Rios’ exciting comeback victory over Aaron Herrera at the Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Καλιφόρνια.
Benavidez is coming off a star-making eight-punch combination KO 8 of fellow contender “Χοιροειδής” Medina at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Τέξας.
