Comments Thread For: David Benavidez flies to Saudi Arabia to put pressure on Beterbiev-Bivol winner

[Groin Grabber]

A lot of people delude themselves into thinking fighters are unbeatable or that this fighter could never beat this fighter or hurt this fighter.

Beterbiev and Bivol are great fighters. But to diminish Benavidez saying he has no shot leaves a door open for people to be shocked should he best one of them.

I am not saying Benavidez wins but you have to look at the trajectory he is on. People can downplay every fight he has had but I see a fighter that is possibly about to start peaking in his late 20's with solid development fights these last few years.

People say he has no power but he has something going for him because no one can seem to push him back when he decides to march forward. The go to response is going to be that he can't push Beterbiev back (too strong/ too much power) but that is something I am not completely comfortable saying from what I see.

Little 154 Andrade was pushing him back wtf You on about?

Beterbiev knocks him tf out and I'm hoping he beats bivol again so I can see him knock out Benny later this year
Only way beter loses if his age catches up to him badly

Bivol put up a great fight against beterbiev who his 10 times better than bumavidez so I see it going a 12 round boxing beating

So have never seen him knocked down twice before? Maybe you should watch more of his fights. Also the anthony yarde fight when he went life and death for 8 rounds with a UK level fighter. Casuals acting like these guys are on another level is simply not true. Benavidez has many advantages over both of them.

What advantages? Please tell us


Lmfao 154 Andrade was backing that fatass up. That Yarde would knock him tf out

What advantages? Please tell us

If you seriously can't recognize the advantages Benavidez has over both those fighters you are not worth debating boxing.

His last match vs Morrell. Morrell came out more active the last rounds. Now he has to carry more weight and be more active to hurt bigger guys. He barely had power at 168. Beterbiev volumes is more consistent and stronger than Benavidez. Plus Beterbiev looks like granite. Never seen him hurt.

His punch stats paint a different picture. He threw 45 punches in round 12 and landed 48 percent of them. He is not a fighter who generally gassed in the later rounds. He’s actually more of a slow starter who gets more active and better as the fight goes on and he wears down his opponents as he did with Plant.

Bieterbiev is a phenomenal guy but there’s no way he walks thru Benavidez. This is a damn good, damn interesting fight. Benavidez showed some really good defense as well, and I think he beat Artur.

Well at this age and after surgery, seems less likely.

Yea after what I’ve seen tonight I think Benavidez could wear that version of Artur down late.

[SouthpawRight]
