No, this isnt fair to Jai, but boxing isnt fair. Its a tale as old as time, too much risk for not enough reward.
This is a damn good fight, I'll be watching
Jai will likely unify with Badou Jack in America after they both win in Dec. I expect he’s going destroy Jack in spectacular fashion.
This will make his fight with the Benavidez v Zurdo winner a bigger fight with all the belts at stake.
I don’t see how this is not acceptable to any fan with an account on this site.

The TS is upset that Benavidez is going to fight a top tier champion, 2nd best in the division, who happens to be Mexican, on Mexican Independence Day rather than the higher ranked champion who he can and likely will fight after that should he win.
This has got to be one of the dumbest complaints ever made on NSB which is saying a lot.
We get a great fight on paper that is meaningful in both the division, a country, and the sport. It most likely sets up unifying the division later in the year.
Man, STFU. The fight you should be mad at is whoever Canelo fights next because it should be Benavidez but he’s too scared.
This is how hilarious this is.
Benevidez just won ton "the ring" card
The RING champion in his division is Bivol
The RING champion at cruiserweight is Jai
So what fight does American boxing make?
Benevidez vs ramirez
And the yank fans lap this shit up and hope that someone else takes the danger men out.
Look, I would have preferred Jai - Zurdo next but Zurdo - Benny is an excellent matchup. I think Jai needs to look at his team in this situation, his 2025's been a write off.
Look at this ridiculous belt situation we have too. They are obstacles to making the best fights because of the separate rankings.
Last time I checked Zurdo has 2 belts, while Jai has 1.Freeze out the best guy in the division Jai because he's "not the A Side" and instead of being angry about it American boxing fans are happy.last I checked Fat Gilbert Zurdo is a Mexican who lives in Mexican
and Fat Dave openly flags Mexico
American fans my ass
this is an all Mexican affair
Last time I checked Zurdo has 2 belts, while Jai has 1.
Jai is the lineal, TBRB, and Ring champion. They should definitely unify.
I'm just skeptical that Jai really wants the fight. His opponent selection has been universally terrible outside of the two Briedis fights. I can understand not being able to land Badou Jack or Gilberto Ramirez but that's no excuse for fighting Claudio Squeo.
