Comments Thread For: Team Benavidez: Yildirim Will Be Next, Hearn Can Get in Line

[Clegg]

Bumping this as some are overlooking that Benavidez has a history of not taking tough fights. Needed 2 interim fights before he would maybe be ready for Callum Smith

[BigDramaShow!]

Reminder that David Benavidez ducked his wbc mandatory in Avni Yildirim and chose to lose his belt at the scales rather than fight him

[BigDramaShow!]

Do you really think the WBC would make Benavidez fight Smith in a uni? They were the ones who annouced Yildrim right after the Dirrell fight. They create that roadblock right away, they didn't even wait for PBC to do that themselves, we all know the PBC/WBC blueprint..

Best Bumnavidez can do is Angulo, Ellis and Uzcategui. Only Canelo has the ball at 168.

[BigDramaShow!]

I didn't know yidrim had been mandated. Ordered mando is an ordered mando so fair enough that's that. But Smith would be a unification trumps mando.

Who did yidrim beat to get that shot? I thought his last fight was a loss to Anthony Dirrell who couldn't just beat benadivez?

Crazy how Canelo was bashed for fighting Benavidez mandatory hahaha

[BigDramaShow!]

Benavidez resume is so thin his best win is Dirrell who won a controversial decision against Yildrim

David Benavidez is 22 effen years old-be hard on PBC but not this kid and his team.

He has all the talent in the world to beat any 168er...like Virgil Hunter said of a young Andre Ward u just want to make sure he is man enough to beat him/them and that is coming.

In terms of WORTH David has to be the most underrated potential cash cow in the sport. Time will tell (Again he is 22 if u managed his career u all would be careful) but I’m putting my money on The Red Flag especially after watching Callum fight Ryder.

[whoseyourdaddy]

Benavidez is going to fight Plant after Yildirim.

That could be the fight Benavidez is looking for. They have been going at each other with nasty slurs in social media.

He can only fight mandatory if he drops the wba belt which is my point, he already has that fight lined up for November and wbc already called Benavidez/Yildirim which is canceled now that he tested positive for two ped’s.... If Hearn wanted really wanted to smith to fight winner of fight Saturday he would of been petition for it to happen, he dropped the ball and had wba force they mandatory I would of loved to see smith/Benavidez early 2020 instead we getting smith/Ryder with this most likely being smith last fight with Hearn

No he doesn’t have to drop any belt, it’s a unification, look up the rules. Am surprised you don’t even know that. Smith/Ryder doesn’t disturb Smith/Benavidez. Let’s get any unification on, Plant/benavidez/Smith.

Yildrim already got his chance and lost, so effectively he would get two shots within 18 months at the belt. Which shows how corrupt the WBC is, because they have bee. Blocking Whyte from Wilder in the same scenario if I go by your own posts on the subject.

[Sid-Knee]

they made the ruling of whoever won fight between Dirrell/Benavidez had to fight Yildirim next 2weeks after the Yildirim/Dirrell fight took place after Yildirim filed a protest... Eddie asking wbc to mandate smith/Benavidez is just a smoke screen because he has done nothing for smith in the last year plus for his career so trying make it look like he doing something now that smith is talking to other promoters

What was Eddie supposed to do for Callum? After the tournament, Callum and his girl had a baby so was out for quite a while. Then he wanted someone to shake the cobwebs off with, which was last time out with N'Dam. Now he's fighting his mandatory in Ryder. It's not like Eddie can get him a unification is it with Ramirez dropping the title and running away as soon as Hearn/Arum started talking about that fight. Now Benevidez seems to be running too. The only others are Plant (Which won't happen due to him being PBC) And Saunders which needs to be built up to make good money from as both are not exactly big stars in the UK yet. Sorry, but nothing more can be done. Callum will just have to wait for the American, like Brits have to do all the time, to find his balls and listen to the constant excuses and projections that will predictably come.

[Sid-Knee]

So not only are you fighting Yildrim next, you've got ANOTHER fight lined up afterwards? F3ck off, this is turning into another Deontay Wilder situation already. The fight is there on the table for all the marbles. Now take it and prove yourself. Don't run like a little punani. Back up the shlt talk from all your fans and don't be a coward like the rest of them from the US you little b1tch.
