Benny has actually beaten a Thai Boxer by the name of Sanun Plypoonsup in Hawaii, This was actually a Thai soldier that learn how to box international style primarily and then entered a martial arts competition. He had and lost to Benny, twice.

Benny's second Thai fight was with Narongnoi Kiatbundit in Los Angeles 1977. The rules were knees but no holding, Both fighters had to wear foot pads and it was for 9, 2 minute rounds. There are two sides to the outcome of this fight but both agree that Urquidez was knocked down in the last round with a kick to the head. Some people say he got up, some say he didn't. Regardless there are professional films of the fight but they were never let into circulation. (On mike miles sight it shows them switch camera angles, and some of panther production videos show clips of the undercard that day).

Benny's third fight was suppose to be a tune-up against Prayuth Sittiboonlert. This was suppose to set-up a showdown with Toshio Fujiwara. Prayuth had already lost to Fujiwara. What actually ended up happening was that it was a harder fight than Benny expected and it went to Prayuth. A tape in circulation shows clips from 2 rounds, but I believe that this was actually a 6 round fight. If you can fight a DVD out there called "Kings of the Square Ring" there is a documentary on it.

Benny had never fought in Thailand though I heard there was something in the works that he was suppose to meet up with Jitti Muangkhonkaen (Sor Thanikul). Jitti ended up fighting with Ernest Hart.
