Benavidez vs Zurdo - Preview/Prediction Video

Very good presentation, as always. I'm also going for Benavidez but I think it'll be a good matchup and that Zurdo has a chance. I see this fight as more uncertain than Inoue-Natakani, which is obviously a very interesting fight. Great weekend for boxing fans.

 

Nice as always. I think Zurdo is too slow to hang with Benavidez - the only question mark is whether DB can take the return fire from a guy that will be 200+ - we know that Zurdo is tough, and he looked like he had got more accustomed to the weight against Dorticos. That said, I think Benavidez also has heart in addition to spite and if taken into deep waters he might be able to 'out-tough' Zurdo as well. Weill be interesting to see it. Two things that really stood out in those clips is 1) How much biger than Bivol Zurdo was in their fight 2) How much bigger again he was in the clips against Dorticos - how he ever managed to boil down to 168 is crazy! Maybe he surprises us all, but I think Benavidez decision is the smart bet

 

I agree with the take, Benavidez UD12. I really, really do not think highly of Zurdo at all. Jesse Hart had him in Hell twice TBH, Benavidez is a couple orders of magnitude beyond Hart.

 

Can't argue with Rummy's analysis and I too see a UD for Benavidez. One other thing, it's sad that the cruiserweight title is being fought for by two overweight blown up light heavyweights.. I expect a somewhat sloppy fight

 

Especially since benavidez tends not to stop fighting when in the clinch. He will find ways to make that entertaining, too.

 

I predict it's going to be a fight where 60% think that Benevides won and 30% thinking Zurdo won with 10% saying that a draw is reasonable.

 

I'm backing Zurdo at the odds to cause a big upset. He could just be too big and strong for Benavidez and catch him coming in.

 

The fight seems great at first glance, but I think it will be one-sided, Benavidez is an elite fighter, unlike Zurdo, while Zurdo does not belong to that group of elite fighters, great video...

 

Zurdo is being coached by Julian Chua and Malik Scott, David is going to obliterate him

 

Why isn't anyone talking about this fight? I thought the fight was today. I don't see any threads about this fight in forum.

 

Ye its sad. Benavidez is not popular here. This is a great fight.
