David Benavidez vs Lionel Thompson

[Mammoth]

Sources: David Benavidez’s return will likely come April 18, possibly vs. Lionel Thompson. Benavidez, a 168-pound titleholder, was set to fight mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim, but Yildirm recently had shoulder surgery. Thompson upset ex-titleholder Jose Uzcategui in December

Don't hate it considering Thompson just beat Uzcategui. Not the fight we want but better than Yildirim.

With all the talent out there...How can you not hate on this? Its horrible. Who cares he just beat Uzcategui! Who is he. A stepping stone beat another stepping stone.

Would prefer he go directly into the Plant unification personally. I guess my interest in this is to see how David deals with a mover. I have a feeling it's a bad style for him.

Another waste of a matchup. At least he is fighting again soon though, lol.

Good fight. Thompson showed good boxing skill in that win.

Didn’t he just **** on Plant for taking a tune up?

I thought callum smith was next in line for WBC shot?

A guy ranked out of the top 20 gets a shot at a title. Just sucks for the top 10 guys waiting or the top 20 guys at that

Kovey wrecked this dude in 2 rds. Benavidez will do the same. Uzcategui looks shot
