It was one of the toughest fights Ive ever had Leonard said after knocking down Ben itez and stopping him with only six seconds left in the fight There was some criticism about referee Carlos Padilla stopping the fight so near the end but Benitez said dont have question about the fight Hes tremendous champion and he won the fight Leonard who weighed 146 had the fight clinched on the cards of all
