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

[ShoulderRoll]

Apparently Benavidez had a torn ligament, it is even shown in the video reason why he got winded.

That could certainly explain why he couldn’t hurt Gvozdyk despite ragdolling him for most of the rounds.

But the question of his power at 175 lbs will remain and rightly so.

[Poopdick]

No he isn’t and TBRB isn’t corrupt. Martin is good, solid fighter. Tank is just much better.

right. lol

Beneveidez better go back to 168, and stay away from Bivol. No pop, and gasses way too easy at 175. And again a fighter spewing out excuses once they look beatable.

He is going back to 168 for Canelo.

Anyone see the comparison in this fight with the Kovalev vs Canelo fight on the same network too i think

You could hear Gvozdyks punches when he put mustard into them and they definetly had a huge effect on Benavidez and you could hear the crack in the punches whereas Benavidez was putting everything behind his and they had no sound and little to no effect

Gvozdyk Looked like he was told to come in and put 60 percent on his punches for a payday whereas Benavidez was allowed to try and press a ko

Seemed scripted to me

And that last 30 seconds of the fight it was like Gvozdyk wanted to show thats what he could have done all night

Boxing is just so corrupt its hard not to come up with these fixed theories

I personally believe they were trying to build Benavidez against a contractually neutered aging fighter

Gvo was clearly made to give Ben experience against Eastern European Ranged Style for a potential Bivol fight

Ben is troubled by this style from Gavril to Gvo

He won basicLly 9 out of 12 rounds. The fact he fought with an injury and cut is tough af. Gvoz looked huge in there. Good won by Benavidez. Maybe Ginger dropped at least 1 ball and will fight David after last night

Gvozdyk did look huge. Which is why it was shocking to see him throwing pitty pat punches, you would have thought he’d be more physical.

Not the Gavril fight lol

This fight still showed the same problems that he had previously. Still got hit easily, poor footwork and gassing out. Beterbiev and Bivol will beat him easily.

Maybe, we already know Bivol beat Canelo's ass really easily
