    Benavidez is *really* lucky that didn’t land. It’s a bomb.

    10:30 PM ET, ESPN: Bud Crawford vs. Jose Benavidez, Shakur Stevenson vs. Viorel Simion

    Tonight at 10:30 pm ET on ESPN, Terence Crawford and Jose Benavidez Jr meet in the main event from Omaha, with Crawford’s WBO welterweight title on the line.

    This is a fight that’s become about a lot more than a title, though, as the two sides have some serious beef with one another, evidenced at Friday’s weigh-in where Benavidez shoved Crawford, who responded by throwing a right hand at the challenger.

    Crawford (33-0, 24 KO) is the heavy favorite here, but Benavidez (27-0, 18 KO) is a very talented fighter who has been considered a top prospect — if one who hasn’t moved too quickly — for a long time now. It could be a more interesting fight than expected, but either way I think we can expect some fireworks. This is a personal one.

    Featherweight prospect Shakur Stevenson (8-0, 4 KO) will also be in action, taking a super featherweight bout against veteran Viorel Simion (21-2, 9 KO). That fight is scheduled for 10 rounds.

    I blinked during the first knock down. and saw him fall like he got hit with a body blow. Rewind showed me otherworldly pain being administered. Can't wait for his next fight

    Yeah, I always kind of cringe whenever they do these things with Bud's mom. I get it's his background, but "I'm a good boxer because my mom beat me" can't be the best way to sell Bud.

    Benavidez throws a good jab. Everything else looks tentative and awkward.

    he's throwing a weird right sweeping "punch". Not quite a hook. Not a straight right either

    Bradley's spot on. Bud should get moving a little more side to side, use the footwork to his advantage.

    he's had a little success moving to his right but not near what he usually does. I think when it happens again, he's gonna put the finishing touches on Benavidez hurting him
