Comments Thread For: Benavidez: Yildirim Fight Is Next; He'll Have Extremely Tough Time With Me

[Griever0730]

"Special talent"??? He looks good vs. opponents with zero mobility or who are shot. I don't think he's developed enough to catch up to guys like Canelo, Plant or even a bloated Saunders. The only champ I'd like his chances against is Smith. I'd steer him away from the others until he develops more. I'd like Jacobs or Uzcategui up next for him. He's just spinning his wheels fighting guys like Angulo, Yidrim and Dirrell.

He is only 23. He is only gonna get better. Dirrell was moving almost the entire fight and Benavidez was still able to pressure him, eventually beat him down and take him out. He barely got out of first gear doing it. Plant and Saunders are good boxers, but in no way do I think they have the the power to keep Benavidez off of them for 12 rounds. They'll be running for their life the entire fight.

There's no chance Yildirm sees the sixth round against Benavidez. One dimensional, flat footed and we've seen his chin exposed.

Angulo is a much tougher fight. Thankfully, we're getting it first.

Benavidez is gonna body Angulo, and then body Yildirim

I don't like the negative talk about Plant, people are sleeping on him... but who knows where the hate for Plant came from, because... he has never done anything to earn it LMAO

Benavidez is a monster, and a BIG step up for Plant

definitely not saying that Plant has no chance, that is a real fight

Canelo/Benavidez is the best fight at 168, and probably the second best fight in boxing at this point

WAR... all of the fighters mentioned in this thread so far

WAR Benavidez !!

Turning down the Canelo fight .

This fight with Angulo should do two things. Help Benavidez to look good and/or test his chin like never before!

[johnnycontrolet]

Benavidez wins both fights easily. Yildirim is too one-dimensional, already got smashed by Eubank jr

['b']

lol really stepping up in competition, we all know how much of a killer Vagni Dildrim is after that Eubank fight....

[aboutfkntime]

Turning down the Canelo fight .

at least he never missed weight

kidding, I like Benavidez more than Plant.... but guys are sleeping on Plant, he can fight

[aboutfkntime]

wow, disappointing for Benavidez

maybe he needs to join SNAC, I dunno

Get off David's nuts. Benavidez has been running his mouth for more than a year about fighting Plant. If he really wanted that fight, he'd step to Al and have it made. All the empty talk about wanting the big fights is sounding pretty empty and a lot like typical Amir Khan yammering. Not everyone is going to get the Canelo ticket, so might as well stop waiting and fight who's available and willing. Plant has stated multiple times he wants Benavidez.

You're right. Benavidez has had time since he won a world title at SMW to get a decent high level matchup made. Now that we're in COVID land, good luck seeing him in with anyone near the top. Luckily he's still young and has time on his side but hopefully he doesn't waste too much of it.
