10 LEYMAN BENAVIDES (NIC)
RECORD: 17-6-1 (3) AGE: 27
ONE of many Nicaraguan fighers that populate the lighter weight classes. Benavides has floated around light-flyweight in his career, moving up and down between the divisions. His last defeat came in 2017, losing inside the distance to Gilberto Parra in the weight class above. But he bounced back from that, dropping down to strawweight to hand Wilfredo Mendez a first lost. He only boxed once last year but has already got a fight in in 2020, outpointing Carlos Ortega over 12 rounds in Panama City.
