The Instagram message of Benavidez to Canelo: “Fight with me, is what the sport needs”

David Benavidez published a message on Instagram addressed to Canelo Alvarez, telling him that they must fight because it is “what sport needs” now.

Benavész’s The name was omitted of the Four Canelo fighting contract with the Riyadh season. Instead of mentioning ‘The Mexican Monster’, Terence Crawford of 154 pounds is scheduled as the opponent of September 13, Canelo, and Bruno Sureace and Jermall Charlo are options for his fight on May 4.

Avoid Benavidity?

Some believe that Canelo told Turki al-Sheikh that he would not sign the contract for his agreement of four fights if Benavidez were part of the agreement. That is really credible. Benavész has been treated as a leper by Canelo, who did not want it to be not part of fighting him all these years.

“Imagine if Canelo would simply agree and fight with me now. It’s not about money. This is what sport needs at this time, and we owe it to fans. Without a doubt, it would be the best Mexican shooting in the history of boxing. We give fans what they deserve! We have 300 percent sure on this side, but I can’t say the same for the other side 😂, ”said David Benavidez in Instagram With his message to Canelo Álvarez.

The victory of Benavidez over the regular semi -marked weight champion of the previously undefeated amb, David Morrell, on Saturday night in Las Vegas may have destroyed any possibility that he has fought against Canelo. Benavidez seemed too dominant in that fight, not showing vulnerability by gaining a wide decision of 12 rounds. Now, if he had fought and they dropped him a couple of times for Morrell, that would have helped to provide cinnamon interest.

Turki al-Sheikh must know that his agreement of four fights with Canelo will probably result in his matches bring purchases of mediocre PPVs if he does not take the fights that fans want to see, as Benavidez. The ideal situation would be for Canelo to face Benavidez in two of his four fights, since these games would generate a lot of interest to fans around the world.

It makes no sense that Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) continues to press the superstar Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) so that it fights against him because he has already shown his hand, repeatedly choosing mainly minor combatants in the last four years.
