I haven’t seen much of this kid, but he looked damn good against Love. Amazing hand speed, especially with that size. But you’re right, we’ve all seen fighters look sensational against lesser beings. Often, the moment they step up, they come down to earth. I’m hoping David maintains his promise. I like the way the kid looks.
Yeah David has had spectacular performances like that before, his KO vs Porky Medina is sensational if you haven’t seen it yet. But against Gavril he was slightly exposed. Maybe he wasn’t taking the fight serious enough or having well documented problems outside the ring, who knows?
Benavidez is talented for sure, looking forward to see him mixing it with the top guys at 168.
I’d pick Smith to beat him. Benavidez can look sensational against lesser opposition but he has his flaws that can be exposed by better fighter. The two fights with Gavril are good examples, more so the first fight.
Caleb Plant is a major player at 168 as well.

He’s in a great spot right now. At his age he’s heading to a title fight vs a veteran who’s seen better days in Dirrell. Yildirim will offer him a top ten guy to build more experience off. 2019 could be a great comeback year for him and set up a huge 2020.
