Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia Makes 154 Debut, Wins Dominant Decision Over Jose Benavidez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - NEW YORK - Danny Garcia handled his new weight class and Jose Benavidez Jr. just fine Saturday night. A patient Garcia defended himself well, occasionally countered Benavidez with right hands and decisively beat Benavidez on two of the scorecards in their 12-round, 154-pound main event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Judges Glenn Feldman (116-112) and Anthony Paolillo (117-111) scored eight and nine rounds respectively for the shorter, shiftier Garcia, who won a majority decision because judge Waleska Roldan scored Garcia's junior middleweight debut a draw (114-114).
