    Eh... Bivol only got 2.5 million for the Zurdo fight. Zurdo isn't a draw.

    Benavidez just sees Zurdo as a free lunch to avoid serious challenges

    I think its partly that and securing another strap in another weight division. He will eventually have to face Bivol or Opetaia if he wants to stay at the top. If he sits on belts fighting bums then I'll be the first to call bs.

    beve doesnt throw the volume. and, if beve can touch you in a 6 foot radius, david covers 10. that limits the safe spaces and taxes concentration. but i suppose BECAUSE beve cracks bones, that might tax your senses a bit. so maybe you have a point.

    Based on what I saw, Benavidez has nothing that would worry Bivol - who would reset him all night, assuming he returns to the same form.

    Against Beterbiev I think he would get caught with someone big. In the early rounds he was hesitant against Yarde who only has big power with certain punches. Beterbiev throws everything hard, has way more variety and much better footwork. I think he catches Benavidez with a big overhand right (similar to Callum Smith fight) or beats the dog out of him in a very short war if they go toe to toe - all assuming he doesn't age dramatically overnight

    Im not sure his chins suspect tbh, he’s not at all afraid of coming forward actually seems like he enjoys taking a few? I’ve always found benavidez a good watch, other than bivol who could out move and outbox him, maybe comfortably, I’m not sure who else gives him trouble?

    I also noticed that Yarde has very limited body mechanics.

    He can't throw a looping overhand right hand and Benavidez was open for that all night long up close or when he was coming forward.

    Styles make fights

    Yarde was relying on pot shotting and countering a pressure volume fighter who was closing the distance.

    When you're on your backfoot that never works, moreso when the pressure coming your way takes away your foot/body positioning and creativity.

    Yardes's best chance was to get his head down and jab his way in and pin Benavidez down and put him under heavy fire and pressure. Being cute and smart was always going to fail especially when you had no Plan B.

    Beterbiev stops him. Way too much power and creativity IMO.

    Beterbiev is probably juicing off his nut right now too (let's face it, they all are juiced) so he will come back as a savage next year.

    Ok...got it back sooner than i thought. Woot! Great card. Happy to pay for this one as a PPV.

    Would love to see Mason vs Noakes (i was sleepin' on this guy) 2.

    Bam should fight Inoue in the next 2 years.

    Haney is an argument for maybe "weight bullies" are shooting themselves in the foot.

    Canelo did the right thing by swerving The Mexican Monster.

    I'll take Benavidez over Bivol.

    Zurdo and slick don't belong in the same sentence. He is the fighter you think Benavidez. Slow, basic and sloppy. David heavy bags him.

    that was his response when asked about canelo, and when bivol said he was going to rematch beve. if they are available, then they should be on the phone right now with davids promoter.
