Benavidez is an overhyped weight bully who looked bad cuz he fought a guy his size

Og wasn't trying to win? Stop. DB handle him pretty good. You may be right about the weight, but DB never struggled in that fight.

 

I've been saying he's overrated for ages. But having said that, I was more impressed by him against Gvozdyk than in any of his other fights as he wasn't just relying on his size to bully opponents. I'll admit he's a bit better than I originally thought because I thought even faded Gvozdyk would do better than he did, but I'm still not sold on Benavidez. Luckily 168 is pretty weak outside of Canelo, Benavidez and Munguia.

 

I was very dissapointed to see he gased out after 7 rounds.

Young, fresh, active guy is being outwork by 37 years old boxer for the last 4 rounds ? Very bad look

 

What's wrong with that post Pimp.

 

There were people on here saying he would lose to Gvozdyk and now they’re saying he’s overrated

 

I've only seen highlights, but from them his defence looked improved. Only highlights, though.

Defence is the department he's been lacking when I've watched him in earlier fights Plant, Andrade etc could touch him more than they should have seeing that they were mainly concerned with what was coming at them, but maybe he has improved. I need to see the full fight to have a more informed opinion, though.

 

He has to learn to pace himself and fight more economically.

He was swinging for fences with just about everything he threw. He also started out throwing a lot of punches.

He couldn't keep up that punch output and intensity. Probably nobody could.

Watch a Canelo, Bivol, Crawford, .... they pick their shots and don't load up on everything they throw.

He's young. He'll learn. I thought he looked pretty good but still has some learning to do.

 

What would motivate someone not to win. He get paid off? Just in it for the pay day? You think the fix was in?

 

PBC overhyping a fighter? Never thought I'd see the day

 

Overly critical and the whole weight bully thing.

 

I mean it's a critical post but what about it isn't true? Without the size he wouldn't have been anywhere near as effective. Going up to 175 those advantages just aren't going to be there. I can't see him having anything for Bivol or Beterbiev, and I would not be surprised if lesser fighters caused him serious issues or beat him.

 

You gotta be kidding me. Gvodzyk was like +800 and youre gonna say because some trolls on here picked him to win that Benavidez is an ATG? GTFOH

Benavidez was supposed to win and he did win. Lets celebrate every +800 win lmao
