I think Gvozdyk cherrypick will backfire

    Gvozdyk has actually been about an inch or an inch and half taller than Benavidez in every face off despite being listed at the same height.

    I hope so, I hope he schools and KOs Benavidez.

    Justice against weight bullies is satisfying

    Canelo's power doesn't carry up beyond 175lbs IMO.

    Just seen gvodzyks last fight looks like the power and accuracy is still there. I reckon it's worth a punt. Will be staying up for this card looks great.

    Bivol said that he had solid power for that weight

    Yup solid power I believe that because he is a great puncher (shape, form, combinations etc) but he isn't a KO merchant

    I think he's been wearing a hat in the face offs I've seen but either way, if they're the same size of Gvozdyk is taller, Benavidez looks like the more tall lanky type to be than Gvozdyk despite the fact he isn't the taller man.

    I think Benavidez wins easily.

    I thought it might be that too but the most recent face off was one of those thin fabric baseball caps. He's just taller than Benavidez. Eyes, nose, mouth, shoulders all above Benavidez comparatively. Benavidez definitely frauding his height by at least 1 inch or 1 inch and a half.

    Yeah I'm not disputing Gvozdyk is taller or not but rather that due to their body types Benavidez looks the more lanky type of fighter to me

    He does look lanky. But if he frauded his height its possible he frauded his reach. Its interesting because he's a guy who relies on being so much bigger than his opponents.

    Could be. His arms do look long to me. He's got a really good long fast jab

    naah, i know what im seeing. AND, the man himself said he was dominated back before age and ring rust were a valid excuse.

    Why would we want a younger fresher fighter with a bigger following to lose to a boring Ukranian on his way out?
