Undefeated former two-time world champion David Benavidez held court with the media for the final time ahead of his WBC super middleweight title eliminator against Ronald Ellis on Saturday on Showtime from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
On Ronald Ellis
“I’m not overlooking Ronald Ellis. I was looking for a big name and I didn’t really get that. But I give him the respect as a boxer and I prepared for him like he’s a world champion. I feel like I’m going to get a quick KO against Ellis.”
On Jermall Charlo
“The Charlo fight is the one that I want to make happen in September. Charlo has a lot to say about me and at the end of the day we are probably the best fighters in PBC and at Showtime. So why not make it happen?”
On Canelo Alvarez
“Canelo is the big fish, and everyone wants the big fish…I got youth on my side and I feel like I hit harder than Canelo and I have the speed too.”
On Caleb Plant
“I would love to get a fight with Caleb Plant. I think they’ve just been trying to give Plant the easy route so that they can prep him for a Canelo fight. They’re waiting to cash him out.”
You mr. cocaine guy better shut your mouth. Caleb Plant will give you ass-whooping…
Pillow hands Plant isnt giving anyone an aaa beating. I am a fan though.
Not on his best days plant overrated he fights chumps he barely got by on his last fight. Benavides will break him let’s do a bet $2000 on benanvidez what’s up holla at me
I doubt Plant even fights Benavides tbh.
Rod, Benavidez knocks out the extremely over rated pillow fisted Plant. “Sweet hands” is about the most ridiculous name I have ever seen from a fighter reminds me of someone who goes to do manicures or something lol.
Cocaine David will get KTFO tomorrow night.
Go Ellis Go.
Benavidez will get it right. Jennifer Diamond and Rod are two girls who simply hate benavidez. Interesting because you both sound like one and the same, stick to something you actually know something about obviously you know nothing at all about boxing…
Hey Rod this was for you put your money where your mouth is make it $3000 what’s up I got benavidez anyone that has confidence let’s make the bet
Rod this was for you if your so confident put you money where your mouth is got benavidez $3000 what’s up anyone talkin smack and not even fighting the way to get in is on a bet anyone can bet
this should be easy fight for benavidez
I believe it and Charlo is a punk for saying he would knock benavidez out, and then right after saying he wouldn’t fight anybody under 25 years old or somebody who hadn’t vaccinated yet. What a crock. I actually saw Charlo say that on a video.
I hope Ron Ellis knocks out Cocaine David.
Paula jones showed a nice right hand in the first round against Tonya harding. I really thought she was going to win.
“Undefeated former two-time world champion David Benavidez “…..
This was the opening line of the article.Anyone else see a conflict with this statement?
I don’t follow the fighter so may an underlying issue BUT reads as an impossible fact
Benavidez lost his title on the scale, never lost a fight though, that’s why he’s an undefeated former champ.
He never lost a fight in the ring, it’s simple. You’re undefeated until you lose a fight, which he hasn’t. Please try to keep up…
Becarful, I heard the same from Josh Warrington before facing Mauricio Lara and also, that was Anthony Joshua’s mind set on his first fight with Andy Ruiz. Just make the weigh and win, never mind if its by decision
