David Benavidez is again in coaching, engaged on his mixture punching as normal. The previous two-time WBC tremendous middleweight champion Benavidez is in a holding sample ready for the winner of the October twelfth battle between mild heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Nonetheless Throwing Machine Gun Combos
In a video clip of the ‘Mexican Monster,’ Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) is seen throwing machine gun combos, grunting closely, and crowding the individual throwing the mitts.
Benavidez, 27, utilized that combating fashion successfully whereas campaigning at 168 as a result of he was greater than his opponents. To date, that fashion has not labored for him, as he was shelled in his final battle when he fought that method.
Within the 175-lb division, Benavidez is a fish out of water, trying nothing just like the fighter he’d been when campaigning at tremendous middleweight towards smaller, much less gifted, older opposition. Benavidez is just too weak for the sunshine heavyweight division, and his unhealthy behavior of standing at shut vary throwing speedy combos will make him weak towards the top-tier mild heavyweights.
Meals for 175-pounders
Benavidez is meals for the sharks at 175 with that strategy. Benavidez might get away with combating that method if he had energy, however he’s not a puncher. He’s a quantity man, and people fighters don’t do properly at 175.
As we noticed in Benavidez’s debut at 175 towards former WBC mild heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June fifteenth, he’s weak when he makes an attempt to battle shut. He was nailed by heavy photographs from the extra highly effective and technically gifted Gvozdyk in that battle and punished closely.
Much more worrisome was how Benavidez gassed out after six rounds and was combating on fumes from the seventh spherical. Gvozdyk dominated the ultimate six rounds, showing to win each spherical, however the judges surprisingly gave Benavidez a large 12-round unanimous determination.
The end result regarded like a draw. Benavidez didn’t deserve the win, and the judges did him no favors by giving him a large determination as a result of social media followers noticed him as undeserving of his victory.
The Have to Change Combating Strategy
If Artur Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs) emerges victorious on October twelfth towards Bivol, Benavidez should change his strategy to combating. He received’t final lengthy if he makes an attempt to brawl with Beterbiev shut, firing his trademark combos. Beterbiev makes a speciality of combating at shut vary and hits a lot tougher than Benavidez.
Benavidez is the WBC necessary for the Beterbiev-Bivol undisputed mild heavyweight championship winner, and it seems he’ll keep inactive to battle whoever emerges from that battle.
Given Benavidez’s struggles in his battle with Oleksandr Gvozdyk, he shouldn’t take any possibilities of combating anybody till he will get his big-money battle towards the Beterbiev vs. Bivol. There’s an excessive amount of cash at stake for Benavidez to take the chance of taking a tune-up earlier than going through the winner of that conflict.
