David and Scampson should've been asked about their previous statements regarding not wanting to fight in Saudi.

They did not BUT now they do. Is there a problem?

I think Benavidez and many in the US are writing off Yarde too early with this one. He lost to Kovalev with a jab yeah, but he’d hardly been past the midway point of a fight at that point and had emptied the tank in the previous round almost stopping Kovalev. He absolutely softened him up for Canelo.

And as far as the Beterbiev fight goes again he did miss the mark but on the way hit Beterbiev more often and harder than anyone had previously done by a considerable margin. You only have to look at Beterbiev’s reaction on winning the fight to see how hard that struggle was.

Will Benavidez defence hold up. If not can he take those shots in the same way the machine Beterbiev did? not so sure. The only light heavy we’ve seen him beat convincingly had also just moved up from 168 and arguably also hadn’t fully acclimatised to the division. It might just be Yarde who does the steamrolling in this fight.

Personally I still think Benavidez will take it perhaps by late stoppage. His defence is hugely underrated. Needs to show some patience and break Yarde down with jabs and bodywork early on and respect what’s coming back. This isn’t a small light heavy or one likely to show him much fear having gone to war with Beterbiev. Absolutely can’t wait for this one. Has fight of the year written all over it.

Benny will overwhelm Yarde until the later rounds. That seems to be his M.O. at 175. Gvozdyk and Morrell showed that.

Yarde should brute force him early, fight defensively in the mid rounds, and wait for Benny to slow down in the championship stages. A KO/TKO may happen yet, but I think whatever power David had at 168 is next to gone at 175.

It would be interesting to know what made them go from opposing everything Turki was doing to now jumping on his dick like starved whores.

In case you’re still in the dark as what transpired, perhaps you might want to riddle us with this conundrum; what item is of significant importance in modern society due to its multifaceted roles as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value?

As for the “starved whôrès” jab, why do you suppose everyone is going to Turki including the already uber rich Canelo who initially stated he was never going to fight for Turki?

It wasn't a jab. It's the reality.

Btw, Canelo never said "he was never going to fight for Turki"
