Comments Thread For: David Benavidez receives WBA ?world? belt, still in line as mandatory challenger

Lol the only paper champion now is Cheatnello. This guy fights nobodies constantly. Such a joke.

Maybe you want to answer my question to Nightfall

How much credit would you give Nelo if he had Benny's resume

The same zero credit he gets right now for his dirty f�cking drug-cheated resume loooool.

Benavidez only took recreational drugs, now there's a guy we can all look up to.

I did not see anything from Beneviedez in his two fights at LHW that would give Bivol problems. Sure, he has a title now, but he was probably better off staying at SMW and waiting for Canelo as opposed to just having titles handed to him.

If bivol doesn't fight David. David will be unified champion without even fighting. Now that's new.

Bivol will fight him. A guy who fights Canelo in his prime and then fights Beterbiev twice is not scared on anyone. I think Bivol beats him just like he beat Canelo and Beterbiev (yes I think he beat him twice). I must say that for a long time I did not appreciate Bivol's skills or his toughness. I saw him as a pure boxer who was boring and avoided the limelight because he did not believe in himself.

Slowly but surely over the last few years, I had to change my mind and accept that he is one of the very best in the business today. This shift for me probably started with the Canelo fight. The way Bivol spanked him was unbelievable. The way he dominated Canelo and did what a famous destroyer like GGG could not do was shocking to me. I usually like Beterbiev (or GGG) type of fighters who destroy everyone in their path, but watching them fight twice I had to admit that Bivol is very, very good and like many observers I believe he won both fights without any controversy. I think he will outbox Benavidez as well.

rofl Benavidez used to hit the clubs up all the time and floss his Versace

loved to party even 1st met who would become his wife at the club

coke use could indicate issues with discipline in the long run

but he doesn't have the Pernell talent to be coked up and outboxing foos

need a good setup jab and a good right hand to catch Bivol

ideally coming from fast hands

Mexican David has a good spear jab but is that enough

Artur had the right hand to nail Bivol with some hard counters. Bivol sometimes keeps his head centered during the 1-2

Like Alvarez Benavidez applies pressure with slow feet and a high guard. I believe Bivol would be a handful for Benavidez

But Alvarez has the better right hand. Benavidez is an upstairs lead hook spammer Bivol doesn't get hit with these

I'd pick Bivol's jab, defense, chin, and fast straight shots over all of them: Artur Benavidez Morrell Jai

I dont think Turki will allow it. They are blocking David out ( from what it seems). Bivol gets paid pretty well being with Turki he has no need to chase belts and Turki might set him up for another canelo fight or an opportunity at cruiserweight.

I think Canelo being over there really seals the deal with David. David is going to have to make a name for him self beating up on bums or taking a one sided fight at an higher weight that might not be in his favor ( like Crawford).

Hold on
According to pure UNBIASED (HA!) fight fans, EVERYONE is on roids.
So, going by that warped logic, EVERY fight is fair.

Benny has the resume of a clown
If Nelo never existed, he'd still have the shlttiest resume in boxing.

[Elastic Recoilz]

I personally see Benavidez giving Bivol a very difficult fight from the sense that for the first time Bivol will really have somebody continuously attacking his body. Bivol showed (in the first fight with Beterbiev) he was light on his feet against pressure until Beterbiev's body punching began to pay dividends in the back end of the fight causing him to slow and take punishment. Beterbiev doesn't throw anywhere near as many body punches as Benavidez does so failing an early KO for Bivol he is almost certainly going to be on the receiving end of copious body shots which will eventually open his guard for head attacks.

It is not an email belt. Although still the irrelevant regular title. He won it from Morrell. I think this is just a new article because Benavidez has now been given his copy of the belt
