Comments Thread For: Injured David Benavidez Confirms He Is Returning To Super Middle

[ShoulderRoll]

Ben is troubled by the Eastern European style Gavril Gvozdyk

Russia leader of Eastern Europe is a different beast

Bivol has mastered Soviet Style

while Beter is the ultimate Russian Bear Mauler

He wasn’t troubled at all by the Eastern European style yesterday. Until he got tired and injured his other hand.

Since when are injuries ever an excuse ? Remember Canelo's hurt hand against Bivol ? It was no excuse for Canelo so it's no excuse for Benavidez looking mediocre, He has been overrated.

Except he didn’t look mediocre with his hurt hands. He performed quite well apart from not being able to hurt Gvozdyk.

No excuses

Lost a bit of respect for him off this, he FINALLY fights a man his size, is forced to compete, and he can't even give his opponent his respect? I hate when fighters cite injuries that magically did not come up in the hundreds of interviews they did leading up to the fight.

No excuses

They aren’t excuses. He literally did not look mediocre yesterday.

He also didn’t look very monster like

I want to see what he can do at 175 lbs with two healthy hands.

I didn't catch the fight, but injury + new weight usually leads to disaster. All things considered, it seems like some are being a bit harsh on David's performance. I actually agree that he (and Morrell) should stay at 175 and acclimate themselves to the weight. If David was actually 189 last night, he really needs to think about leaving 168 behind. 175 is there for the taking.

let see I still think Ben finally gets Alvarez on Mexican Independence Day

he best fight his azz off. Win at best rematch at minimum

Bivol and Morrell both beat Ben

Ben beats Beter after what Bivol will do to Beter

But but then how will he be the bully I mean monster lol

Look I'm not saying Benavidez isn't an elite,very good fighter .He obviously is .BUT .He's not a monster. He's beat Lemieux and Andrade, 2 middleweights moving up and failed to stop Plant. Against a man his own size he looked good but it's apparent he really is a weight bully.And he's making excuses, not a good look.
