Wilfred Benitiz vs Kid Gavilan 15 rounds for the welterweight championship, who wins?

I think Gavilan's herky jerky style, strength, courage, durability and peskiness would trouble Benitez from the start to finish. Gavilan had rambled with the best from the lightweights to the middleweights in his career and had beaten most of them. He had fought against the very best version of Ray Robinson in the welterweights not once but twice and lost by close decision. He took the best shots from the original Sugar Ray and put some of his licks, too.

Benitez could ramble, too but got busted when forced to engage by Leonard and Hearns whose persistence could match his patience whose offensive arsenal included Gavilan's famed bolo punch.

Gavilan stalked Benitez from the start, wore him down by the end of the tenth and finished him between rounds 12 and 14 of a classic 15 round fight.

Benitez could win youngster Gavilan in basic terms flashed interior the final seconds of a around to effect the judges. He danced lots and grew to become into sturdy at it. Benitez grew to become into lots greater suitable with KO means at any time.

I'd have to give this to Benitez. As tough as Gavilan was, he could be caught with a good shot, plus, Benitez has the better power (though not by much, as his power was more on the sneaky side). Benitez wins over 15 rounds.
