David Benavidez vs Lionel Thompson

I quite like Lonnie B, man, don't think he's got much of a shot against David but it ain't a terrible styles mesh.

Didn’t he just **** on Plant for taking a tune up? Plant told Mannix that he wants the fight ASAP but thinks all the people involved want it to marinate. You already heard Brian Kelly already talking PPV.

A guy ranked out of the top 20 gets a shot at a title. Just sucks for the top 10 guys waiting or the top 20 guys at that Thompson is in the top 15 of the WBC, WBA and IBF. A reasonable guy for a voluntary defense. Not exactly a fight I want to see though.

Kovalev was a bad mfer at that time And Thompson is older and fighting lower weight weight drained

Kovey wrecked this dude in 2 rds. Benavidez will do the same. Uzcategui looks shot That Kovalev would have knocked this current Benavidez out too. You put Benavidez in with Arthur or even E. Alvarez next at 175 with his size advantage gone and they most likely KO his young ass.

PBC has had a terrible start to the year. Just awful matchups that aren’t even worth paying attention to at all. Maybe you could make threads complaining about all this

:dunno: Would prefer he go directly into the Plant unification personally. I guess my interest in this is to see how David deals with a mover. I have a feeling it's a bad style for him. Kovey wrecked this dude in 2 rds. Benavidez will do the same. Uzcategui looks shot

I thought callum smith was next in line for WBC shot? After Yildirim........ So Thompson, Yildirim, Plant then Smith I guess...

Good fight. Thompson showed good boxing skill in that win.

Another waste of a matchup. At least he is fighting again soon though, lol.

With all the talent out there...How can you not hate on this? Its horrible. Who cares he just beat Uzcategui! Who is he. A stepping stone beat another stepping stone. :dunno: Would prefer he go directly into the Plant unification personally. I guess my interest in this is to see how David deals with a mover.
