Benitez Stops Lucas in Georgia

Former US Olympian Roberto Benitez won his second pro bout on the undercard of Friday’s WBA Lightweight title eliminator between Lakva Sim and Ebo Elder in Duluth, Georgia.The 25 year old super bantam proved too much for his winless opponent as Benitez used good foot movement and raked Lucas with combinations. The end finally came after three one sided rounds when Benitez speared the hapless Atlanta man with a searing right hook to the body that Lucas could not recover from. Benitz improves to 2-0 (1) while Lucas falls to 0-3 (0).
