Yo, what’s up, guys! It’s your boy back at it again. Today, I wanna talk about something that went down just last night – the Benavidez vs. Charlo fight. Man, what a night!
So, picture this: It’s November 26th, 2023. I got my snacks ready, my buddies are over, and we’re all hyped up for this match. We tuned in around 3:00 AM cause that was when it was scheduled. I was kinda losing sleep over it. We were waiting to watch Jermall Charlo, this dude who’s been out of the ring for like, over two years, right? 29 months to be exact. Apparently, he had some personal stuff going on, but the guy’s the WBC Middleweight Champ and he’s never lost a fight. He was going up against Jose Benavidez.
First off, I started gathering information. Looked up both fighters, their records, recent news, you know, the usual. Then, I dug into the details of the event – the date, the time, the whole shebang. Set up reminders on my phone so I wouldn’t miss a thing.
I got my friends pumped. Sent out texts, made some calls. We were all set to watch it together. Got the snacks ready, drinks in the fridge. It was gonna be a good time.
The time for the fight arrived. We were waiting and when it finally came up on the screen, the tension was crazy. This Charlo guy, making his comeback after so long, and Benavidez, ready to take him on. It was like, anything could happen.
During the fight, I was jotting down notes. Round by round, who was landing more punches, any big moments. Trying to keep track of how each fighter was doing. It was back and forth, a real nail-biter.
But, here’s the thing – the fight ended, and the result was, well, it was a “no contest.” Yep, you heard that right. After all that waiting, all that hype, it was like the fight didn’t even have a winner or a loser.
After the fight, I was like, “What just happened?” Started talking to my friends, we were all confused. Checked online, saw other people’s reactions, everyone was just as surprised as we were.
My Thoughts
- Charlo’s Return: I gotta say, seeing Charlo back in the ring was something else. Even though it ended in a “no contest,” you could see the guy’s still got it. That long break didn’t seem to slow him down much.
- Benavidez’s Performance: Benavidez, he held his own. He was going toe-to-toe with Charlo, and that’s no small feat. Showed he’s a tough competitor.
- The “No Contest” Outcome: Honestly, it’s a letdown. You wait for this big fight, and it ends without a clear winner. It’s like, what was the point? But, hey, that’s boxing for you. Unpredictable.
So, that was my night. Watched a fight that ended up being a “no contest”, but it was still an experience. Got to hang out with my friends, enjoy the thrill of the match, and, well, witness a pretty unusual outcome. That’s all for now, guys. Catch you in the next one!
