    It'll make him a bigger star when he beats the **** out of David Benavidez, and he doesn't get KTFO by Jai.

    Money and ups his status, unless he barely scrapes by. Yes, even if Benavidez is a LHW, the optics of him beating someone like him would do his career well, specially to the masses.

    When AJ destroyed Francis, it made him look badass even though it was an MMA guy. People were commenting favorably about him.

    Only someone scared like Zurdo would say that. Zurdo, like Canelo, is setting a bad standard for Mexican duckers. Not only is Opetaia the dominant best at Cruiserweight, he has been for a long time and everyone knows it.

    Just say that you are scared of getting KTFO, it is a valid excuse.

    This is what I tell people who insist Bivol would make Benavidez more money. Lol to that idea. Two Mexican champs fighting on Cinco de Mayo? That means $$$ for everyone except Canelo...unless he fights down lower on the undercard.

    He gets a good pay day and a stay of execution from Opetaia.

    ''fans'' like you are why cowards like Ramirez can avoid fights a ''nobody'' absolute nonsense.

    Ramirez sickens me and the sanctioning bodies allowing him to get away with avoiding Opetaia sicken me even more. he should man up or be forced to take his beaten like a man. he is EVERYTHING that is wrong with this broken and corrupt sport.

    Opetaia pummels ''Zurdo'' like he's a combination of a slow slug and glorified punchbag and shortens his life span in the process and that is why he's so scared of him as it would be one of the most one-sided unification fights in boxing history not because he's a ''nobody''

    No, that's where Zurdo's duck gets even more obvious. He's fighting Robin Safar (who is also controlled by Golden Boy) on January 16. QUACK!

    You seem confused. I did not endorse anything I was just explaining his reasoning for choosing Benavidez over Jai. The thread is literally asking what does he have to gain and I explained it. $$$
