Zurdo wins this easy

Fat Gilbert being written off here

Of the scheduled fights I’m most looking forward to Fat Gilbert-Fat Dave

Love David as a fighter, and he can also put himself in the shoes of a fan which is great, I think he's really starting to make a connection.

Fat Dave is arguably the best ppv seller today

I'm not a fan of Mexican style at all but paid to watch all of his fights from Gvozdyk onwards

he boxes and defends well enough combined with the combo of hand speed and size

Fat bum. Can't even call him overrated cause he hasn't done shlt

My biggest nightmare just became a reality . Benavidez will smash Ramirez then vacate and move back to 175 without defending against Opetaia . All that talk from Benavidez about fighting Opetaia was just YAPPING . Benavidez was one guy I actually had respect for when talking about taking challenges .

All this hype for Bena is based on a 168 weight cut that he has proven to not be able to make for half a decade. So fighting at natural weight puts one in the driver seat all of sudden because not fighting at your natural weight means you have to pick and choose because else it is too risky making the weight cut as a regular competitor.

Fat Gilbert will be the first opp where Fat Dave has no size advantage

Fat Dave will need combos to hurt him

worst case scenario being Fat Dave becomes feather fisted at cruiser against larger opps

Bena has been a natural 175'er since 2018 that could only go down to 168 by risking a ER visit. Should just retire since there is no way to every reach that stratosphere of hype and fame by doing a regular career, basically going the Jake Paul route for almost a decade.

Glad he has a plan. Things cannot fall apart unless you have a plan.

BigBobArumSmash are you not entertained

Fat Gilbert will be the first opp where Fat Dave is the smaller man

6-6 firefight

I think the fact that he's a southpaw poses a bigger problem but still expect Benavidez to get a CLEAR points victory due to his superior work rate and relentless pressure (which always helps with the judges).
