Benavidez did wing some punches out there but he showed an improved technical approach to striking. He set up combinations with a kicking game and varied his strikes, instead of relying exclusively on the overhand right. I think that's why he was able to land more effectively. He'll need to use that in a rematch against Mighty Mouse.
I'd love to see a #1 contender's match between JoeB and Dodson.
