Comments Thread For: Canelo Torn On Possible David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade Fight: "50/50"

[champion4ever]

Folks really giving Demetrius a shot against Benny? Lmao...Boy has no killer instinct and hes boring as hell to watch. DB will put a beating on him and get that overrated fool out the picture then canelo is next.

By the middle to late rounds; I expect Andrade to go into survival mode with excessive holding and running.

Benavidez would only get better. If Canelo fights him in 2025, hes is getting stopped

[hhh1200]

Andrade is still fresh and an Olympian. If he stays clean and fit, I think he has aged anymore than Crawford, Beterbiev, etc, guys over 35+. That being said, I view this fighter as either Lara vs Angulo or Hurd. Andrade has far more pop in his straight left, far more. If he is preserved this fight looks something like the Angulo fight and he is lighting up Basicvidez like a Xmas for 12 with maybe a knockdown my Basicvidez. PBC gives the fight to Basicvidez for marketability. Andrade has aged and legs gone? It's a very last stoppage around the 11th or so. People are delusional if they think Andrade is an easy out when Basicvidez is going life and death with one of TMT's D+ fighter. Andrade > Sweet Cheeks.

to me Andrade looks like he's always off balance, and has terrible footwork. He uses his athleticism to counteract his flaws. It's worked in the past because he rarely fought top competition. At 35, I think he's going to get steamrolled.

Canelo trolling. Hes going to batter Andrade lmao

[steeve steel]

Andrade is desperate for money and fame, and as such, will be dangerous. It's a good fight. But Benevidez is just too hungry. Benevidez by decision or throw of the towel from Andrade's corner.

I predict that if Benevidez looks vunerable, win or lose, Canelo will choose him as his next opponent.

[Bronx2245]

Don't get it twisted, Andrade is a REAL threat! There's a reason why Canelo hasn't fought Benavidez, nor Andrade! Both were (and are) HIGH RISK! In the past, Canelo told Benavidez, Andrade, and Jermall Charlo, to stop waiting on the Canelo check, and mix it up! Well, Thank God, they're finally doing it!

[Verus]

So he picks Benavidez to beat Plant but thinks Benavidez vs Andrade is 50/50 despite calling Andrade a “horrible fighter”? Hmmm

There are a couple of other reasons why Canelo will now call this a 50/50. First, Canelo is now under contract to fight his next 3 fights under the PBC banner, and saying that Andrade has no business being in the ring with Benavidez will negatively affect the revenues of that fight thereby hurting the PBC. Second, on the off chance that Andrade beats Benavidez will also have a negative effect on the revenues of a future Canelo vs Boo Boo fight.

Lmfao. One fight is a huge event with another Mexican boxer that would be perfect on a Mexican American holiday that is expected to generate huge ppv revenue

The other is a guy you avoided as a MW champ that no one knows.
