[Boxing] Beterbiev vs. Bivol - Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship

[FinneysTrueVision]

David Benavidez has decided that he will no longer wait for Canelo and will instead pursue the winner of Beterbiev vs. Bivol. Benavidez had the option of becoming mandatory at 168 and 175 lbs, but it seems that Canelo will fight Edgar Berlanga in September, making 175 the best option for his career. Benavidez did not really impress in his debut at light heavyweight against Oleksandr Gvozdyk. This will likely make him an underdog when he challenges the winner of this bout.

It's just very unfortunate for David Benavidez, he could be just in the wrong era. Torn between a Canelo fight that Alvarez doesn't want to give him, but instead reward younger fighters like Berlanga and Munguia. And then we have the two headed Russians in the mix and taking over the LHW, Beterbiev and Bivol that Benavidez will have to face if he wanted to make money fights.

And so it's going to be very hard fight for Benavidez challenging the winner of Beterbiev vs. Bivol. Either of those two can beat him at 175 lbs. On the other hand, there are fans that think he has a good chance against Alvarez as he is big at SMW division, but Alvarez is not willing to take that big risk fighting him. Hopefully though, after the Berlanga fight, maybe there are still a slim chance that Canelo might chance his stance and give Benadivez that chance.

The thing is that WBC's Sulaiman can't go anything about it, Benavidez is supposedly the mandatory challenger for Alvarez and yet Sulaiman is not imposing it, (talking about corruption). And now that Alvarez had a September fight with Edgar Berlanga, doesn't make sense for Benavidez to wait again.

So his plan is to face the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol, so this fight is going to happen this October. And him having a tune up fight again in 175 lbs this December against a no contender, sort of trying to gauge himself at Light Heavyweight. And then take the fight next year at May, Cinco de Mayo to rival Canelo Alvarez as he usually takes fight during that time. And maybe Benavidez wanted to take the limelight out of Canelo with that date as he is obviously a Mexican.

I think this probably happens on September because that 175 is really and ideal weight for him. Going down to lighter weight has a disadvantages on him, and as I had observed with old boxers there has nothing to do good on them for every fighting history. They'll eventually loss power, and it's really dangerous on their fight because we don't know how a boxer could handle without an optimum weight during crucial fights. For now Canelo and Benavidez fight still remains an unfold story, we just have to wait for that perfect match for each of them.

Ideal weight for David Benavidez? Have you seen his last performance at 175 lbs? Against Olexandr “The Nail” Gvozdyk and everyone thought that is it going to be a easy fight for Benavidez, but it turns out, the Gvozdyk live up to his monicker as David can't score a knockdown or finished him in the fight.

That's why we said that he will have a difficult fight ahead of him if he is going to face the winner of this fight. For this fight, the tentative date or at least the new date is around October 12. So most likely if they go ahead on their planned fight, it will be likely early next year and the venue could be in Saudi Arabia as we all know that HE Turki Alalshikh is the broker for big fights.

And just like Crawford when he moves up to 154 lbs, Benavidez might have a hard time going as high as 175 lbs, the light weight limit. So I maybe thinking that perhaps the added weight could have put a toll on him and might take some time for his body to adjust at 175 lbs.

Morrell as well move up to 175 lbs and it's now the 4 of them battling it out for the title of the best light weight champion. Bivol is now the slight favorite in this fight, at 1.81, as compare to Betebiev at 1.94. With that kind of odds, it just shows that this is going to be very close fight and the line is going to be good already for us boxing fans. Although for sure we might be looking for other odds, but I guess ML is high enough.

Benavidez is a career Super middle weight, the reason that he went to Light Heavy Weight is that Canelo Alvarez doesn't want to give him a fight even if he is the mandatory challenger for his WBC belt. Oh to make it right, he is the Interim champion and so WBC has two, him and Canelo. And if WBC wanted to have one champion only, then they don't have ordered it, but they don't want to. And so David Benavidez has no choice as he is chasing his own legacy in his young career that's why he move to 175 lbs and fought Oleksandr Gvozdyk.

And now that he won, although we are not  that satisfied in his performance. He said that that he will be up to the challenge here. So with that, he is waiting for this fight. If I'm not mistaken, when he was younger he had a chance to be the sparring mate of either of this two. But it will be different now as Benavidez has improved already. So let's see who will win here, Bivol is the favorite because he is the busier fighter while Beterbiev is coming from a injury.
