One of the most difficult stages that any boxer has in his career is to win the opportunity to be tested against the best in the category. From there his career can have a before and an after so win or lose because the forms, in the sport of fists, matter as you have to sell a product.
You don’t have to be very smart to realize that Avni Yildirim, Last rival of canelo Álvarez, Will not go down in history as a great rival because he made a terrible presentation that he did more than two weeks ago in Miami, Florida. However, José Benavidez makes it clear that his son and boxer, David Benavidez, Can cause a lot of problems to a Tapatío that avoids it.
“David can give Canelo a lot of problems. It’s a very difficult fight for us because Canelo is a very disciplined boxer. I think David Benavidez has trained all his life for that.”, Expressed the technician of the Red flag a Bolavip.
On the other hand, the father and coach of Benavidesa has reiterated that the team of Saul Alvarez he did not want the fight when world champions were consecrated. “When David Benavidez had the world championship I approached Canelo’s team, he was going to go up to 168, and they weren’t interested. Then David loses the belt, he wins it again, from here, like was Benavidez with the belt, he jumped (Saul Alvarez) at 175, he beat an old Kovalev and was lost, he didn’t know what to do. Contact me to do the fight with David Benavidez with the WBC and they weren’t interested. ”, Explained Benavidez Sr.
And he added: “David loses the championship in the weigh-in and on the fly they talk to him at the WBC to be able to fight for the world title. I think they took the opportunity that David wasn’t there to be able to grab and fight it with all the veterans. But it’s not his fault, it was David Benavidez’s fault. “.
Despite this, José Benavidez understands that today Canelo ‘s desire is to become a unified champion of the 168 pounds and that they saw the opportunity when their son lost his title on the scales. In turn, he understands that the Mexican does what he wants in boxing because he owns the business.
“Let’s be honest, Canelo does what he pleases in the world of boxing. If he goes on a cruise he fights for a belt and they look for a way for him to do it. He deserves it, but at the end of the day he it’s a business for boxing, for organizations and a lot of people “, Stated the technician.
“They’re taking care of him and that’s why he doesn’t want to fight David Benavidez because he knows he’s going to fight him and it wouldn’t be a very easy fight to win. I think it would be a 50-50 fight, a younger, older person with Canelo is the best in the world, but it’s slowly worn out. “, added Benavidez Sr.
On the other hand, the father of Red flag he was very angry with Eddy Reynoso who said they don’t dodge his son, but he went down just for losing the titles out of the ring and reiterated that they know they didn’t want to face him. “Yes, he is undefeated and he has had problems, but as he has had problems I think it would be a very easy fight for them. Why don’t they take it? I think Benavidez could give him a better fight than Yildirim. They would win a lot of money, and it would be great for people. You have to put the excuses aside and give the fight that people want. If I’m wrong they’ll hit you, shut up. “, Stated the coach.
Finally, José Benavidez referred to next Saturday’s fight and expressed that his son should look spectacular in front of Ronald Ellis. However, the coach talked about Jermall Charlo, Who said he could beat David by the fast track, and expressed that he would love to be out of this fight.
“We’re not going to pick anyone. We, to make history, can’t pick fighters. Charlo is one of our favorite fighters and it would be a super tough fight, but that’s how history is made. But we’re not afraid to lose and fans will be happy. All these fighters are great and we are ready to face the best. People deserve these fights. We are here ready to make history. “, The technician of the Red flag.
