Benavidez's easiest weight cut so far.

[Smash]

5:25

"Actually, when I'm out of the ring, it's 83-84 kg."

83.5 kg = 184 pounds

]

if bivols ring weight is 185 as he said it was v canelo then if he is currently 22 pounds over that weight as he says he is in the video that means that he is 207 pounds lol

that makes him heavier than bennys stated walk around weight of 200 - 205 pounds

LOL

go to 6 minutes 29 seconds and he tells u his exact weight as it is NOW

David has the weight advantage

"To be honest, I have 10 kg over the weight that I usually go in the ring with." & "Actually, when I'm out of the ring, it's 83-84 kg."

84 kg = 185 pounds
10 kg = 22 pounds

207 - 22 = 185 ring weight

Fight night Dave is 190
Fight night Bivol is 185

Fit Dave is 205
Fit Bivol is 185

At least a 5 pound ring weight edge in David's favor

An offseason eating anything enjoying life David:


^Never seen an offseason eating anything enjoy life Bivol that big

Dave has the larger heavier frame

what u are trying to say then is that bivol is 184 pounds in the ring fight night from his 175 weight in but his walk around weight when he is not fighting training only fighting once or twice a year on his holidays etc is always exactly the same 184, if this is true then he is one of the VERY unusual boxers who remain EXACTLY on their fight night weight, as far as i know not even floyd did this and had to lose a few pounds during camp

did u know that for example all top boxers have a walk around weight, i remember we used to speculate on bud crawfords walk around weight when he was at 147, most agreed it was about 170 pounds or more, same with all of them, benny makes weight at 175, he said he weighs about 190 in the ring and walks around at 200 to 205, that is totally normal figures for a boxer

the picture u keep posting is of an over weight guy, benny was over weight as a kid he has excess flab on his waist he cant lose, this is not going to help him whatsoever in a fight, in fact the opposite, its dead weight

stick any guy over weight with belly flab and they will look just like that, hatton used to have a huge belly from beer it happens if u live that life, u shed as much as u can during camp and off u go again

[Smash]

but David's 200 to 205 is appropriately sized for for 175
Fit Gvozdyk walks around at 200
Artur is 190
Bivol was 185

]

artur is 190? where are u getting this figure from? artur is a guy who has issues making the 175 weight, that suggests to me his walk around weight may well be more than 190, hell i would say his weight in the ring is more than 190 fight night let alone his out of camp weight which will surely be higher than that as well

[Smash]

Benavidez walking weight IS 190-200. Just think he bloated himself up months after his fight Gvozdyk because he got to comfortable to moving in miami and having issues with his father (jose Benavidez sr) for 5-6 months. In the November promo-shoot of 2024 he looked like in the 220 lb range.

i really dont get it

just because someone is pictured with a bit of a belly, all that means as u say is that he has enjoyed himself during his off camp time & nothing else, if thats how his body and genes are and he was a bit of a fattie as a kid then he will be inclined to put on that bit of weight when he becomes inactive and stuffs himself with food with lower levels of exercise

it is of no benefit whatsoever actually its a problem because he has to shed it all again for his next fight

[Smash]

His regular weight when walking weight without bloating himself in inactivity IS 190-200, Yarde and Joe Smith Jr De closer to being a natural cruiserweight based on their frames, it will be shown in the weight in with Yarde. The excess weight isn't naturally part of his frame.

David B. is a naturally rangy lanky fighter.

correct, i mean he looks like tyson fury in one photo and then weight shedded he just looks like a tall slim dude

other guys like canelo and yarde have different builds, they are shorter and stocky so of course they will look more muscular than a tall and slender build, benny putting on a belly just means he is out of shape and needs to hit the gym and stop stuffing his face

It's not overly common, but fighters like Billy Joe Saunders, Jesse Rodriguez and Roberto Duran had bloated themselves up outside camp. Shouldn't be condoned and is not recommendable that fighters should develop bad habits but at the end of the day it is up to them, like you mentioned, these fighters have lives outside the sport and are prone to let their discipline falter due to circumstances, specially if they don't have a fight lined for half a year. It might happen again, but it doesn't seem like the case for now considering he reconciled with his father and is aiming for another fight for 2026.

I agree. the condition he was is not his optimal weight and physique, not even his standard walking weight before prepping for camp or during it. It is just excess body weight. Despite the loose skin in the mid section, though I wouldn't say he has sculpted physique like let's say Yarde, Beterviev or AJ. But he certainly is in good condition in fight night, despite the similarities to Tyson Fury or Emmanuel Navarrete in having a long reach, short torso with long legs.

Yeah, this really does look like Benavidez’s smoothest cut in years. When he’s not coming in bloated or dealing with injuries, you can see how much more controlled and disciplined the whole process is. And honestly, watching how dialed-in he is kind of motivated me to tighten up my own routine too. I’ve been using some beachbody programs lately, and that structured approach actually reminds me a bit of how fighters prep.

Hopefully David comes to the ring healthy

Dave is 6 ft 2. Gvozdyk is 6 ft 3. Bivol and Artur are 6 ft each

these taller light heavies have the 200 pounds or more walk around weight
