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

Crazy how canelo fans are demanding that David fights 2 dudes at 175 that canelo can't beat himself, meanwhile claiming that canelo beats David easily. You can't make this up.

Decent performance from benavidez, Gvozdyk looked like a beast i there, drop back down to 168, get the canelo fight, and as another poster said, move up at the latter part of his career.

[Buzzbron]

He has been outed as weight bully- dominate at 168 with a big size advantage but just solid at 175

I don’t have a problem with a fighter who can admit his limitations. Nothing wrong with going back to 168. Though I’d like to see him mix it up with winner of Bivol/Beterbiev.

He's going to fight in both weight classes , he's not going back to fight at 168 only. He's mandatory for the winner of Bivol / Beterbiev , and Canelo. I imagine that he will take whichever fight presents itself first. Guess which one that will be ? I'd bet my left nut that it's going to be someone whose last name starts with a B.

Bena chasing the money fights

From what i been reading, most canelo fans had been saying that the monster has no business with the elite guys at 175... you will also get that from me, a canelo fan..

[Al Faz]

So he is acknowledging he is a weight bully

[BronxPride67]

Truthfully, them hands look beat up, I think the monster is a great fighter and a good human being, If Canela ever mans up and gives him the fight, I think Benivitez gets in top condition for that fight and beats Canelo , great fight but Canelo does lose that fight

[Oracle01]

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.

I didn't see Canelo showing a swelled up knot on his hand after the fight. He pitched a shut out for the first 6-7 rounds against an opponent thats never been out pointed before. He did fade in the last half and this puzzling and worrying for someone famous for work rate.

David Benavides dominated last night even if he was a bit winded towards the end. He gave a solid performance in spite of his hand injury and this being his first foray into the light heavyweight division. No the man didn't look like Mike Tyson circa 1988 (then again who does) but he gave a solid, dominant
workman like performance where im sure if he stays there he will get accustomed to the weight class and be a serious threat to the top ten and perhaps an aging And routinely injured Beterbiev. Bivol? Not too sure because Bivol is a master boxer who judges And controls distance EXTREMELY WELL. However Benavides has VERY HIGH DURABILITY And an engine that operates top shelf. His defense is underrated and his constant pressure is a serious issue for anyone in front of him.I give this performance a b to b plus ➕. It will be interesting to see how he does with two good hands and having become more comfortable at 175. That to the side, I have to say this comments section is just low grade bowing to the worst common denominator. The Incels are out in full force slagging off Benavides for no other reason than the fact that they are Canelo jockstrap, Lickety lap fanboys who have to be the most sorry bunch of teddy boys ive ever seen, even out doing Mayweather fans in the butt moisturizing category. They even give **** loons a run for their money with their cult like hard mentality.

One needn't be any type of Canelo fan to give an honest appraisal of Benavidez performance. First, it's never good to lean so much into injury. Second, he was gassed the second half of the fight. Third ,he's supposedly a "Monster " yet never seriously had Gvozdyk in trouble. Fourth, he's fought at lhw before. Fifth,it's you that seems to be a fanboi.
