Benavidez-Callum Is Scorecards or KO

[SouthpawRight]

Former Callum opponent Saul has a better jab and right than David

David style is to bob forward into close quarters behind a high guard with a counter here and there often dispensing his own jab

[JakeTheBoxer]

No way Benavidez stops Smith.

Callum would be fool to fight David the way he fought Buatsi

David is no euro level athlete that Callum can **** in the pocket with!

Benavidez has zero stoppages at 175. Smith does, but he's also not as good as Benavidez IMO, and he's only been stopped by Beterbiev. And Benavidez has a good chin. He was able to take Morrell's power, which I personally rate higher than Smith's. High likelihood that it goes to the judges and IMO Benavidez outworks Smith.

[SilverMiles]

Benavidez stops him late to the body.

[Boxing 112]

Benavidez stops him later rounds

Benavidez beats the hell out of Callum who is suddenly becoming really overrated quite frankly just to hype up Beterbiev.
Smith is Euro level.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Benavidwz doesn't beat the hell from anybody at 175.

Benavidez is also overrated after Alvarez ducked him to go on a cherry tour

best win an inexperienced 11 fight Morrell

I'd put Plant as his best win (for now at least).

Benavidez has obvious flaws and is beatable but I am not sure I'd say he was overrated. Before, fair enough but I think he is probably rated about right for now? Below the big two and above all the rest.
For me you have Bivol & Beterbiev then quite the drop off in quality. I think Benavidez is somewhere in between? Yet to be decided but he has time on his side.
Beterbiev looked impressive as ever vs Bivol however whether we like it or not the guy is 40/41 and about done.
