Demetrius Andrade warns Canelo Alvarez to keep away from his former conqueror, David Benavidez, after shedding to him by a sixth-round stoppage in 2023. Andrade thinks Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) is just too huge and throws too many combos for Canelo to defeat him.
It’s comprehensible why Demetrius is making an attempt to make Benavidez sound invincible as a result of that lessens the influence of his defeat in opposition to him. He took an ego hit in that combat, struggling his first profession loss. So, he’s making an attempt to guard his ego by making Benavidez sound like he’s some excellent expertise when in actuality, he’s not.
Benavidez’s Subsequent Opponent
We noticed that in his combat in opposition to 37-year-old Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June fifteenth. Gvozdyk had not too long ago come out of a four-year retirement and out-punched Benavidez, placing all types of lumps on his face.
Canelo hasn’t talked about eager to combat ‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez, and the 2 fighters at the moment are competing in several weight courses. Benavidez, 28, is combating at mild heavyweight and can problem WBA common 175-lb champion David Morrell in 33 days on February 1st on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
If Benavidez loses that combat by knockout, he might return to the 168-lb division if he can nonetheless make weight. It will be ineffective for him to remain at 175 if Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) destroys him. Morrell is simply as huge as Benavidez however quicker, hits more durable, youthful, and has higher technical abilities.
There’s likelihood that Morrell will win that combat and completely maintain Canelo’s downside, not that he wants assist. Andrade, 36, could also be impressed by Benavidez’s offensive abilities, however he’s not a knockout puncher. He couldn’t even cease Caleb Plant.
The one cause he stopped Andrade is due to his measurement and youth benefit. He was 26 when he defeated Demetrius final 12 months on November twenty fifth.
Don’t Do It!
“I don’t assume Canelo is thrashing David [Benavidez]. I don’t blame him to not combat David. Canelo, steer clear of David. Don’t do it,” stated Demetrius Andrade to Battle Hub TV. “I’m taller and longer than Canelo. I don’t know if Canelo [can beat Benavidez]. That’s a giant boy.
“You’ve obtained to have the precise talent set, motion, IQ, sharpness to beat David except David fights the subsequent largest man at 175 goes to be a unique story. However at 168, that’s how it’s important to be to beat him.
“Canelo is smaller than me, and I used to be capable of push David round for a couple of rounds and do what I’ve to do no matter. However that weight and his size, and he is aware of how one can throw punches in bunches, it’s going to be a tough activity for Canelo.
“David just isn’t somebody that’s going to let up on you both. Canelo just isn’t beating him,” stated Andrade about his perception that Benavidez can’t be beat by Alvarez.
Canelo would have fought Benavidez by now, however he talked a lot trash and got here throughout as needy. The best way Benavidez has appeared fixated on Alvarez is frightening, virtually like a stalker. For any fashionable fighter to have somebody sound so obsessive about the best way Benavidez has come throughout, they might ignore him, too.
