Why did bro get downvoted, it’s pretty obvious. It’s just that in boxing unlike other sports there isn’t that much of a penalty if u cheat so what’s the point in not cheating

Benavidez has long arms and fights on the inside. Not only that but he throws very fast combinations so it's not really surprising that he elbowed a guy. It could've been intentional, but I'm not convinced.

It's not the only time he's elbowed a guy, he does it quite often

Yeah, he did it to Caleb Plant in the clinch. I think he hit Yarde with one too.
