Lonnie B Thompson says that David Benavidez cannot defeat the undisputed champion of semi -stated weight, Artur Beterbiev, as he did against David Morrell last Saturday night. You will have to find a better style against Beterbiev.
Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) obtained the mandatory place of the WBC with his victory over Morrell, and now he will face the winner of the Beterbiev vs. rematch. Dmitry Bivol 2.
Thompson says that Benavínez’s habit of being directly in front of his opponents and shooting combinations will hit him if he fights as Beterbiev (21-0, 20 ko).
Benavidez, 28, is a 12 -year -old professional, and has never demonstrated the ability to adapt his struggle to box and move. What you see is what you get with him. Morrell described the struggle style of Benavész as “Robocop”, and is right. It will not change for the Bederbiev fight.
If Benavidez is lucky, Bivol will defeat Becterbiev in his fight on February 22, and will not have to worry about dealing with him. Bivol will be a much easier fight for Benavász because he can’t hit and try to box.
“No,” said Lonnie B for CightHipo When asked if David Benavász can beat Artur Beterbiev. “I am not an enemy of David Benavidez. I’m just looking at my experience in the ring with both.
“If he is going to give Artur a good fight, he has to come much better than that, because that style stood in front of you, blocking, blocking, blocking, I don’t think he will serve him well fighting Arturur with a boy who is Extremely strong physically. Artur is physically an animal and hits extremely hard.
“To show that I am right, look at Bivol, who is an extremely good fighter. He continued moving, moving and moving. But if you stay there with Artur, it’s just a matter of time before you finish on the ground. Trust me, I’ve tried it many times, ”said Lonnie B.
Benavés will probably try to overwhelm Beterbiev with blows as he did against Morrell and the other 29 opponents he faced in his career. He only knows how to fight on a path, and that is to bury his opposition to volume. He will use that same cookie cutter game plan against Bederbiev and will wait for it. Could.
With the way in which the first fight of Bederbiev-Bivol was developed, there is an excellent possibility that Bivol will win his revenge on February 22. Therefore, it will not be Benavidity fighting Beterbiev. It will be bivol that faces. Of course, that is whether Bederbiev and Bivol do not fight against a trilogy below.
“Morrell built Benavász in the third round with a control hook, but Benavidez is difficult. He returned firing and clearly won, “said Lonnie B.” But with Artur, he cannot afford to be beaten with this, because sometimes David (Benavász) becomes lazy because he is winning in a very convincing way.
“Start letting your hands, hit, bow forward and leave your chin and legs directly. With Artur, he can’t do that. If you want to give Artur a good fight and potentially overcome him, he will have to squeeze his game.
“You will have to fight the average range and keep your hands up, move your head and be prepared to take some vicious photos. The fact that Morrell could skate to the final bell when sometimes it seemed that Benavidez was going to stop him and Benavés did not do it, he shows me that it may not be the biggest beating with this weight.
“So my concern is whether he can hit Artur with something that will make Artur respect him?
“Yes, I think he (Benavidez) can overcome Canelo. I think Canelo is too small for David Benavidity. I don’t think Canelo can keep it away with that level of activity. I don’t think Canelo can keep Benavidity outside him, ”said Lonnie.
Benavidez could probably beat Canelo Álvarez, but he probably will never have the opportunity. It is one of those hypothetical fights of which they are a waste of time to speak. It would be better to speculate how Benavidez would do against the FIB cruise weight champion, Jai Opetaia, if one of these days moves there.
Can Benavész walk through Opetaia’s blows and where he goes down with volume how it has ended with so many others? I do not believe it, but I doubt that I once agreed to fight against Jai. He will leave Opetaia in the same way that Canelo is swinging.
