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

[Haka]

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.

Frank vs Davis fight was fixed as well.

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.

I did read your whole post. I don’t know what race had anything to do with MY post. I gave props to Benavidez for this being his first fight at the weight, and fighting a big name, quality opponent. That opponent Gvodzyk I said would beat 90% of light heavy weights right now. So what I see is that I’m giving both fighters their recognition, in addition to no hating on either of them whatsoever.

The only hate came from you talking about choreographed fights, and you saying that the WINNER of the fight looked “dwarfed by the Ukrainian”. Sounds to me like you are the one bringing race and other factors into it. Give the man his props for the win.

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...

Definetly seemed like a scripted fight and everytime Gvozdyk went off script or retaliated when Benavidez really tried to get him out of there he cracked Videz with his full power to get him off and it affected Benavidez

Seems to me like they paid Gvozdyk to come in and spar at 60 percent for extra money whilst Benavidez could try and get a ko

Very scripted looking fight

Dude you need to let the hate go. It’s poisoning you.

The davis fight didnt seem scripted at all and i have only been convinced a couple of times now that fights have been scripted and that was Kovalev vs Canelo and this Benavidez fight which were both on the same network

Martin fought a great fight but Gervonta has the power of a decent punching middleweight at lightweight

Impressive win in his first light heavy go, but he will have to be more explosive than that

True. There is a reason Gvodzyk is called Nail. He’s tough as one. He ate a lot of David’s punches, which isn’t surprising since he’s taken monster shots from bigger men.

As a big fan i was not impressed. His faded in the second half of the fight which is usually is best time. I see he had some hand ligament injury before the fight and it looked swelled up but I'm not a fan of excuses. Overall I only gave him a 6.5/10. I'm not sure what he should do now. I scored it 8-4

Did you notice the difference in the actual noise and crack of the punches when Gvozdyk threw with intention?

There was only one fighter in there last night who could crack and it wasnt Videz

I gotta say after watching the fight I have to agree with this.

I'm not really a conspiracy theorist but to me that definitely looked like Gvozdyk was treating it as light sparring.

Never even remotely hurt when Benevidez was loading up on his punches.

Yeah. Dude is tough.

Sadly, this site has gotten in it’s collective head that moving up in weight and not getting a ko but a clear win against a world class fighter like Nail is a bad thing.

The fight didn’t seem scripted at all. Clearly David’s
punches had impact, but not ko power which isn’t surprising given Nail took shots from Bieterbiev, Stevenson, and Gonzalez all with more power than David, at a higher weight.
