Maybe it's worth to wait what will be the odds of Benavidez by knockout or Benavidez by decision.

But base on the ML, yeah, it looks like a one side beating (again) coming from the Monster. He just came from beating Zurdo Ramirez, so we thought could give Benavidez some serious competition. But he just go and and knocked Ramírez down twice, in the fourth and sixth rounds.

The power of speed of Benavidez will be in full display here again. Might be good if the fight will be between Jai Opetaia vs David Benavidez.

It won't be an interesting game. I'm fully doubting Cieslak's performance after he comeback from his hiatus for 18 months. Meanwhile, he fight an active boxer that beats Zurdo with KO in the last fight. Cieslak stance a small chance to win the game. Benavidez is likely making this as a one sided fight and he will complete his titles.

When it comes to boxing between David Benavidez vs. Michal Cieslak, as far as I know both had the best boxing careers in several boxing titles, David has WBA Super and WBO and Michal has WBC, both have good records.

Maybe we all here understand that David has a professional boxing career and is known as a boxer who has an undefeated record, of course this is different from Michal's boxing career where he experienced 2 defeats during his career in the boxing arena.

But in my personal opinion boxing is between David vs. Michal will be won by David, why do I dare to say that because I have seen both of their styles in the ring when betting.

This is the main event of the Vergil Ortiz Jr - Thurman match. This is also a good match, but when it comes to resume and fighting style, I don't think Michal Cieslak can match David Benavidez's record and skill. This is going to be a walk in the park for David Benavidez and a good tune fight for Jai Opetaia.

David Benavidez will soon become the unified champion. Here, I hope he will not take this fight for granted. Michal Cieslak is a powerful puncher.

I hope no upset happens here. There are a lot of great things coming for Benavidez. We have Opetaia, Bivol, or Beterbiev for his next mega fight, these are things that the boxing community is waiting to happen.

A fighter is better judged based on his resume. The only credible fighter in his resume is Pascal, whom he beat by knockout, that's because Pascal was a fading fighter at the time that they fought.

Michal Cieslak is slow and flatfooted, and an easy target for Benavidez. In boxing, we have a saying that style makes a fight. Michal Cieslak's style favors Benavidez, if Benavidez performs like he used to, he can knock Michal Cieslak out.
I have Benavidez as the heavy favorite here.

I just feel the inactivity of Cieslak will be too much to overcome. This will be his 1st fight in almost 1.5 years and Benavidez 3rd over the same timeframe. However, with that being said, it seems this may be a competitive fight when looking at the tale of the tape.

Yeah, i agree that the only popular name in Michal Cieslak's opponent list is Pascal and aside from that, all were nobodies, sorry for the term but those names i haven't heard before. Also to be honest, this is the first time that i've heard of Michal Cieslak and i did a little research on him and found out that he is not a legit champion, i mean he was just elevated from an interim champion to full WBC cruiserweight champion in September 2026.

David Benavidez is just on another level and with this one i think he will have no problem demolishing Cieslak. I have Benavidez winning here by knockout as Cieslak will have trouble with those fast hands of Benavidez.
