Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Taken the Distance in Win Over Gritty Oleksandr Gvozdyk

[NoAgendaBoxing]

David is gonna have to fully commit his body to 175 if he wants the belt.

Gvozdyk looked like Drago! Monster looked real regular in comparison! However, skills pay the bills!

Gvozdyk looked exactly like a fighter who was retired not too long ago, didn't do anything in there ,benny had an easy debut he appeared still be fast enough at lhw but never got to really hurt the Ukrainian despite dominating whole fight. Not sure ifs enough to beat Bivol/Beterbiev ,well at least he says can still make 168 w/out problem so numbnuts haters cant use this as an weight drain excuse once gets whipped by canelo lol.

Benavidez earned a solid shout out decision win tonight at his 175 debut, but it is reasonable to question whether his power and conditioning translates at light heavyweight. But this is his only performance so far in the division and doing so against a former world champion.

People seem to quite underestimate Gvozdyk, it is true that his skills might not be the same as his prime but they are still pretty solid skills that will allow him to compete at the top level if he wanted to, physically wise he is still a top fighter that only lost once with a record of 20-1 with 16 knockouts, he also had a good activity rate last year he had fought in three stay busy fights to shake off the ring dust. His durability shouldn't be in question either, it took Beterviev 10 rounds to beat the guy.

If you've seen 1 fixed fight you have seen them all. Gvozdyk didn't even try to win this fight and this
one looked like the Conelo/Kovalev contest where the normally vicious puncher throws pitty pat
punches 90% of the fight. This fight wasn't even choreographed well. I'm no longer interested at all
in ANY NABE fights because they only appeal to the low IQ fan and is the most corrupt org in all of
boxing. Unless Turki is involved or Monster is fighting in Japan, I'm not watching boxing again. It's
just too much of a clown show now. Beterbiev will MURDER Benavidez and Bivol UD's him 120-108.
He's just not that good and looked dwarfed by the Ukrainian.

You ridiculous. Benavidez first fight at the weight. And be fought a bonafide contender/challenger. Gvozdyk would beat 90% of all fighters at light heavy. It’s Videz FIRST fight at the weight. Chill out!!!

[TonyRespectful]

Congratulations to Benavidez, that's the best head movement and defense I've seen in the last several fights. That said against another opponent he's going to need a better gas tank.

[SouthpawRight]

Gvozdyk looked a good bit bigger then Beni. He's going to have to put on additional size to stop good guys at light heavy, which he obvs didn't wanna do if he's going back to 168. Was surprised to see him gassing at the end

first time I seen someone moving up in weight and gassing

Gvozdyk isn’t exactly a prolific bodypuncher

I'd ask you to re-read my whole post but it's unlikely you even know how to read to have read my comment in the 1st place. But, you're the typical
merican boxing fan now. Gullible and purely race based.

[landotter]

Sounds like this was a convincing, if not impressive, win. Whatever comes next should be interesting.

Benavidez EXPOSED again, monster? FkN Cookie Monster!! No more blown up Jr Middles and small Middles at this level homie and Gvozdyk clearly knew his job tonight, pitty pat like a sparring partner...
