Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Roberto Benitez”, the useful work is to connect “american boxer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7351597. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1980, 1999, 2000 and 2001.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
