David learned his lesson with Saul and won't wait around for a shot

Fat Gilbert v Fat Dave

Yarde is Dave's best performance so far

[Malvado]

Bivol just got back surgery and a trilogy with Beterbiev is lined up. Benavidez even acknowledged it before this fight.

Obviously, I prefer to see David Benavidez vs Dmitry Bivol. But I ain't mad that Benavidez is opting to take other challenges instead of waiting a year, it be interesting against a unified cruiserweight champion in Gilberto Ramirez. If David is successful, he be a three division champion.

Still, I hope Benavidez vs Bivol gets done at the end of the year of 2026 or by the start of 2027.

Battle of a flabby grandpa builds, whoever eats just a few more snacks leading up to the fight will have the power advantage.

By the way looks it's a done deal:

one must ask if Fat Dave is moving up so quickly in part because he's too FAT Dave for 175

As Bivol fan this could be a good thing

Top Soviet Bivol mops Artur again

then goes to cruiser for the winner of Fat Gilbert-Fat Dave and Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai

I can't wait to see fat Dave on the scales for this one, he is going to be so happy he can eat whatever he wants while in camp.
