Is this the New Mexican style?
I thought everybody was ducking Benny.
Bivol just said he would fight Bena after Beterbiev.
why is he draining back down?
Can’t see him beating Bivol. In an era where one loss can derail your career for years it would be best for him to get back to 168 and keep lobbying for Canelo or wait until titles become vacant.
168 is not where he belongs. He can make 168 but it's clear his size is the reason he got called the monster. He doesn't win just because of his skills as opposed to elite fighters who fight people their size or bigger and win. The first time David fought someone his size he looked like a different person. By boxingscene logic, Canelo is a blown up super welterweight and he's fought better competition at 168 than David has. People are saying Devin Haney got beat by Ryan so bad because he didn't have a huge size advantage like he always does. So Benavidez wanting to move back down because he is ineffective against people who are actually his size says alot about how much of a weight bully he is.
Yup, my exact take on Benavidez.
He looks super thin and unhealthy at 168 weigh ins recently, he should be at 175.
He got a taste of what is like to fight someone his own size and didn’t like it. He wants to go back to fighting former 147-160lb fighters. He knows Bivol would be way more difficult than Gvozdyk.
he admitted he was 189 on fight night, 31 pounds above 168. yeah its probably not as high when hes fighting 168 but it gives you an idea its probably a 25 pound weight cut.
bivol will demolish him, hes in a world of hurt the second half of the fight, he might even get stopped by accumulation if he is that gassed and eating a lot of shots because bivol dont gas.
Benny's overrated, his saving grace is his unorthodox style, that's it.
Still favor Canelo to beat this guy at 168 and Benny has no chance vs the elite Eastern fighters at 175.
Bena the biggest champ in the gym
so many stories of sparring everybody and putting it on them
Some guys fight better in the gym than under the lights!

Considering Bivol is fighting Beterbiev in Oct, when would David get his opportunity to fight either of them? probably another 12 months?

There is no such thing as a weight bully dude. If you make weight, you make weight.
I also don’t think we should use the biased logic of not the brightest posters as the foundation for a debate.
Nail has taken shots from guys with more power than David. People seem to forget that. That is why he easily took shots from David.
Ryan won because he cheated.
David realizes he is better suited for 168. He has quality fights there with Canelo, if he stops the BS, and Morrell. Then he can go back up for the Bieterbiev v Bivol winner- which imo he likely loses.
Bivol would give him problems, but beterbiev is slow and takes too many punches. Benavidez could beat beterbiev.we’ll have to see if Beter is left with lasting damage after Bivol beats him
On that last performance Bivol would cut Benavidez up like a side of ham.
Imagine how bad Bieterbiev would wreck him too damn.

After Bivol is done with Beter Beter will get knocked out by Morrell

These big mexicans don’t have the endless endurance of smaller mexicans
1st Alvarez now Bena
Canelo just signed to fight someone else.
bivol just confirmed he will fight Bena next
why would he tuck his tail like a Punani? Is this the New Mexican spirit ?
Canelo signed for a step aside deal, which means he is after a bigger fight.. no opponent selected yet, only skull was pushed out of the way..
this was just reported on ringtv and meny mexican sites..
