Benavidez cereal box with fast hands… lmfao
I’m not allowed to talk any more guff about Benavidez. I thought either Andrade or Morell would box and make him look silly and…none of those two fights were close.
I still don’t marvel at his style, but to each his own. He’s shut me up.
My kneejerk reaction is to hang my hopes on Zurdo, but I’ve been here before. I can’t bet against Benavidez anymore……………….
………even if he looks like a cereal box with fast hands. :lol1::lol1::lol1:
On the contrary your hate is deluding you. If you think Zurdo beats David, you should not talking about boxing on forums. David is better than Zurdo in basically every aspect of boxing. Bivol is also very basic compared to what David does in the ring. Just a basic outside 1-2 fighter. The stuff David does in the ring is much harder to do and requires more skill.
Criticism feels like "hate" to a fanboy.
I don't know if you are a smart troll or just some ignorant f.dead ass
we saw the best Artur that we’re going to get in the 2nd Bivol fight
Fat Dave is prime for the next 4 years and has room to get better
Fat Dave is very good and could be great
indicator of greatness beating a shared opponent better than the prior all time great Artur did
Fat Dave finally has this indicator now from Buff Guy Yarde
I favor Fat Dave over the version of Artur he could fight. Buff Guy Artur will be coming off arguably 3 back to back losses to Top Soviet Bivol.
Artur took a lot of high impact clean shots to the head in these 3 fights
and he’ll probably be 42 by then coming time Fat Dave faces him

Yeah, but unfortunately, Bivol has gone on the side of a milk carton when his comes to this cereal box.
Top Soviet Bivol will be back soon
box fans too fickle dramatic and entitled
silly statement
your worst meh footwork works until it doesn’t work
Dave inferior feet would get timed
And be out of position to attack and defend
boxing circles around Dave
He’d need effective footwork to regularly get Bivol on the ropes and have a chance
lacking footwork results in looking silly like manny v Floyd

manny landed the vast majority of clean punches in that fight. you seem to be tthinking going backwards and creating so much distance you cant reach your opponent with effective punches is "good" footwork. manny used his footwork to get close and land those clean hard shots that rocked floyds head around. floyd used his to do that little air jab that barely grazed pac and made no impact. thats not a good example of using footwork to set yourself up for success.
You're usually allowed to punch with the free hand. I'll need to watch it again but I think Yarde may have actually had hold of David's other arm during that moment.
Yarde was holding his arm in place at the time, which was a bad strategy as it allowed David to keep him in place and bash the sense out of him.
His footwork allows him to hover around in the pocket and operate from both sides, he is sometimes completely on the side of guys , they see nothing in front, while he is getting off with a full arsenal. It's so basic that not many in the sport can do that.
Apparently footwork only matters when you're on the outsideSo what. His footwork is worse than all his opponents and how did that work out?silly statement

Your fanboyism is deluding you. Your guy is very basic, just good at using the weigh-in process to his advantage. He has nothing like the craft of Bivol and will probably get tuned up by Zurdo (i.e. another person with more craft than him).
He's built his name being the guy Canelo wouldn't fight and subsequently been elevated by boxing hipsters (like you) way beyond his achievements. He's not that guy, nor "different".

If his footwork is garbage how was he able to close the distance effectively and consistently? You don't know boxing if you think anybody has an easy night against him.
Really want to see him with Bivol
Beterbiev is slowing down, his secong Bivol fight was the first time I ever seen him tired, usually he has an excellent gas tank. Bivol 1 he was the fresher guy. So i dont really want to see Beterbiev-Benavidez at this point because its a 40 year old version of Beterbiev and doesnt really tell us what happens prime for prime.
Bivol has good conditioning too. David looked good last night but we also seen David look tired in his first fights at 175 so I want to see how it goes, I think him and Bivol depends on who tires first as neither has one punch power and both also have good defense.
Those shots were hurting yarde last night. It didnt look like Gvozdyk or Morrel were really hurt by them just outworked.He has a style that requires stamina and high output which he has but then hes also making these massive weight cuts then I predict that will shorten his career. Those guys fizzel out around 33-35, look at Rickey Hatton as an exampleFat Dave has gone from underrated to overrated in the span of 2 fights
1 fight is all it takes to change public perception of a fighter
Fat Dave has the next best chin at 175 right behind Top Soviet Bivol
Bivol has the better stamina. Rusty Gvozdyk and Green Morrell were able to get back into the fight in each of their final 4 rounds with Dave where he slowed down and took his foot off of the gas pedal
Fat Dave averaged 45 punches thrown per round against Gvo and Cuba. He isn't as high volume as people believe
Bivol who is sometimes seen as a sniper did 40 a round in his two fights with Artur
Top Soviet is a top 3 durable guys in boxing today up there with TBud and Saul. Bodies can take it and chins can take it
Dave chin and defense are better than Artur's
Agreed, he looks very basic. I'm not interested in the "could be great" comments, he's 28 and unlikely to improve much. He's good at making weight and then putting it back on to give himself an advantage. Zurdo will tune him up.
