David lost the WBC title twice now and is still undefeated. Good job, Champ...

Lol. This sh^t does get ridiculous a lot.

Man I dig the fook outta Benavides among the next generation of guys, but he seems destined to fook up his own trajectory. His brother seems like an a$$hat so I guess he's gotta have some of that same dna or some of that dummyness influencing him so I guess at some point I need to quit being disappointed.

Good Luck on Benavidez facing killers after killers on LHW. There is a reason why Froch, Kessler did not want to go at LHW.

This dudes not trying to be great. He’s just a thug with a drug habit that happened to walk inside a boxing gym.

This is sad. I really want to like this kid, but he doesn't seem mature. Losing the same belt without losing a fight speaks a lot to his lack of discipline and character. Instead of being a weight bully, why not just move up to 175, which is probably his natural weight class? I get the impression these guys at 168 really don't fancy having to face Bivol or Beterbiev.

The worst would be for him to be caught in-between two weight classes (168lbs and 175lbs). Too big to make 168lbs but not big enough to properly compete at 175 vs top level. Reminds me of Brook and Jessie Vargas being caught'ish between 147 and 154lbs.

And this is the guy that is supposed to beat canelo? Smdh

He can still fight, but no doubt the seriousness he exhibits towards boxing 24/7/365 & his overall dedication make him less likely to be able to challenge Canelo one day or I'd even argue to get that fight in general.

And not unlike with young Broner at some point "youthful mistakes" stances just become "I think he's just r3tarded/self destructive/don't give a fook" stances.

Canelo should get to fight for the vacant super middleweight title now since he is already Franchise champion.. put him in against Yildrim for all the marbles.. LETSSSS GOOOOL

The entire Benavidez crew are a bunch of thugs and a mess.. they will never reach the heights of a Canelo.

The scales don't lie

Not to make excuses for Benavidez, but he did say in prior days... Can't leave the hotel for anything, not even to do my road work.
