    Gvozdyk is a good fighter and it's a stiff test for Benavidez at 175. Gvozdyk has a good offense but I'm not sure of his durability (especially at this stage of his career) and his ability to keep Benavidez off of him. The Nail would have to land something meaningful to hurt David.

      This from Lemmiwinks Sulaiman:

      How about you enforce David's mandatory position against Canelo instead, Lemmiwinks.

        Gvodzyk has good power , smart ring iq
        Only downfall I’d say is he has slow feet
        I like Gvozdyk, but I'd say his downfall is he's only fought club fighter opposition since his return.

          I'm happy to hear Gallo vs. Bam is being worked on. I respect Estrada, but I hope Bam kicks his ass lol. Bam is getting a unique opportunity to take out the old guard out all by himself.

              Benny’s first fight at the weight
              Does his power carry , is he gonna be slower with the extra
              Gvodzyk , your absolutely right though but I am basing it from what I saw of him before the L to Beterbiev
              But your right has not stepped up since , definitely

                I didn't expect this, that's a nice fight. I've been criticizing Benavidez for saying he wants 175 pounders but not doing anything about it. Good for him for moving up and not wasting time, if that fight happens. They better not be using Gvozdyk name and then say it fell through.

                  Benavidez is the MANDATORY for the 168 WBC belt.

                  If the WBC had an OUNCE of credibility they would strip Canelo for refusing to fight his mandatory.

                  Suliman is a corrupt sack of ****, protecting canelo, moving Benavidez up to 175 by promising him an interim title shot, as soon as he accepts he is off the 168 mandatory list.


                  Gvozdyk hasnt fought anyone decent in 5 years. Hes 36 years old. This is a very calculated move. This is to avoid Yarde whom i think is a lot more dangerous, he is 4 years younger and didnt need a retirement or have a health scare after beterbiev, hes a lot fresher.

                    I respect Alvarez more if he took the challenge against Benavidez whether he wins or loses. Hope that he let's the belts go so the 168 division takes it course or actually is willing to fight the best for the next 5 years like he said.

                    If he still wants to compete, that's fine, but man he shouldn't put an entire group of fighters at a stand still by holding the belts hostage like Crawford and Spence did.

                    Chavez Sr fought De La Hoya twice at the same stage of his career (Julio was 33 years old in the first fight), even though he lost both, it took nothing away from his greatness, he already had achieved a lot before taking on the Golden Boy.

                      Might look like Fonfara vs Chavez Jr tbh.
