The scheduled 10-round contest went the full distance. Charlo dominated Benavidez Jr. of Panorama City, CA, taking the win by unanimous decision. The judges scored the bout 100-90, 99-91, and 98-92.
In his next fight on Saturday, Jermall Charlo goes up against Thomas LaManna (39-5-1, 18 KOs) of Belleville, NJ, who targets his 10th straight victory. The contest serves as the co-feature to Caleb Plant vs Jose Armando Resendiz.
