    I think they saw Benavidez struggle vs movers before. I thought he would stand a d trade with Benavidez but even though it would have e increased his chances of landing a bomb I think it would've been a suicidal tactic for him to do so. He's too easy to hit and Benavidez has very good variety in his attacks and it's difficult to anticipate them, let alone if you're as easy to hit as Yarde. I think the success Yarde had vs a washed Kovalev and a old past prime Beterbiev was overblown. He has one very good round Vs Kovalev and a few good ones vs Beterbiev but speed is always going to cause an old Beterbiev problems for a few rounds who was never a speedster even in his prime. Beterbiev was better at timing shots when he was younger in his prime and the shot he essentially finished Yarde with was a beautifully timed right hand

    If he beats Zurdo in May and we get a unification fight with Opetaia later in 2026 that'd be a very telling fight. Opetaia is a beast.

    Bena is not ducking Bivol or Beterbiev. Those two are old and injured so Bena is going down the list.

    The reason for this was the Adidas deal he signed in 2018 for 1.5m per year after only 14 fights, he was fighting in leisure centers just before he was thrown in v Kovalev.

    Hate to break it to you, but no one gives a **** about Cruiserweight or Zurdo Ramirez. Beterbiev and Bivol are both bigger draws at this point. Beterbiev and Bivol both earned 10 million dollars for the rematch, Zurdo got paid 1.5 million for his match against Dorticos. No one cares about him. PRIZE fighting remember?

    Yes, he clearly is, and there's literally no debating it.

    I think it would be competitive. Opi looked great against an Australian taxi drive but very pedestrian vs a decent guy in Breidis.

    If bivol stood up to Beterbievs attack for 12 rounds 2x he can stand up to Benavidez

    Briedis would murder Benavidez and Zurdo.
