It stinks that Bivol or Beterbiev likely aren't next for Benavidez. I suspect he heard from Turki that the trilogy is next for those two. So, the way I see it, in going up to face Zurdo, Benavidez and team look to accomplish two main things, in order:
1. Take over the Mexican holidays Canelo has dominated
2. Get belts in yet another division vs just defending the 175 lb belt he has.

I'd prefer David to defend at 175 because if he goes up to Cruiserweight I don't know if he'll be able to come back down and then we'll miss out on fights with Benavidez vs Bivol and Beterbiev. But, should David beat Zurdo - and with his speed, output, and stamina I think he will - a fight against Opetaia would be just as desirable.

I seen enough to know Bivol and Beterbiev would both beat Benavidez.
