Oleksandr Gvozdyk via Unanimous Decision after 12 rounds • 📊 Scorecards: 116-112, 117-111 and 119-109 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🥊 FIGHT BREAKDOWN Benavidez carried his trademark pressure up from 168 lbs, taking the centre behind a sharp jab and digging hooks to the body. Gvozdyk used his height, mobile jab and straight right to manage the range, but Benavidez’s faster combinations controlled most of the first half. As the rounds accumulated, Benavidez’s movement and output began to fade while Gvozdyk pressed forward and found more counters. The weight jump did not prevent “The Monster” from winning, but the late slowdown exposed a more human side before his cleaner work, body attack and early control secured the decision. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏳ TIMELINE & ROUNDS 00:00 - 🥊 Fighter Entrances | Ring walks 00:12 - 1R | 📏 Battle for range 01:31 - 2R | 🔥 Body pressure 03:05 - 3R | 🎯 Jabs and counters 04:46 - 4R | 💥 Uppercuts land 06:29 - 5R | 🔥 Benavidez presses 08:19 - 6R | ⚡ Fast combinations 09:26 - 7R | 🥊 Pressure continues 10:54 - 8R | 🎯 Counters and body shots 12:16 - 9R | 🔄 Gvozdyk rallies 13:39 - 10R | 📉 Pace begins to dip 15:31 - 11R | 🎯 Gvozdyk counters 17:27 - 12R | 🔔 Final exchanges 19:22 - 🏆 Result | Benavidez wins by unanimous decision ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #DavidBenavidez #OleksandrGvozdyk #BoxingHighlights #PBC #WBC #LightHeavyweight #Boxing #WorldTitleFight #OneTouchBoxing
