I cant take this yildrim guy seriously after what eubank did to him. And especially then after what groves did to eubank proved eubank is just trash as well.

... What do you have against poor Anthony?...

Nothing against Anthony, PBC is going to want to get that strap back on David, and Dirrell is a PBC fighter too.

At least it’s an in-house fight that will happen.

... Didn't Benavidez try to switch to TR and gave it up soon?...

No, that's his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. The one who fought Crawford.

David Benavidez is his younger brother who actually trains hard and is 10x the talent that Jose is. He was WBC champ at 168 until he tested positive for ******* last year. IMO he's the top talent at 168 even though he isn't ranked up there. He just turned 22. IMO he's the reason Zurdo is moving up. Benevidez returns next month.

Based on my research (take it with a grain of salt) their father is a boxing trainer and went pretty hard with Jose, who was lazy (and a gang ****er) David was an obese child who started boxing with his dad just to lose weight, and fell in love with it.

... David Benavidez signed with Bob Arum's Top Rank and accepted a $250,000 signing bonus. But on Monday, he gave the money back to Top Rank and returned to the promoter he threw overboard, Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing.
