One thing about boxing, you can never judge a fighter by his physique. If I knew nothing about either fighter, I’d say Davis beats the shit out of Benavidez, strictly based on appearance. How wrong I would be! In actuality, this fight is a complete mismatch.
I like David, but let’s be real, he’s a light heavyweight pretending to be a super middle weight.
I agree he’s not a 168 anymore. Looks like he’s caught between. Him weighing 169 for this basically takes him out of the Canelo sweepstakes. I think it’s either Charlo or Smith next.
david is soft , anyone can see. his hubris will be his downfall…any fighter i repeat any fighter not in shape, andy ruiz or benevides, is stupid and not respecting the craft. period.
I agree David doesn’t look in shape. His body looks like the result of a crash diet and not proper nutrition. Im not saying he’ll lose. This isn’t a bodybuilding contest. But a proper training camp plus proper nutrition should produce a lean look not a soft, toneless look. The body acquires a bloated look when its starved of nutrients (crash diet) the body starts to hold on to water and fat. An extreme example is when you see starving kids in underdeveloped countries and their stomachs are bloated.
Davis has some decent skills but he was fortunate to get the draw against Dirrell and that was more a matter of Dirrell not showing a desire to win as opposed to Davis looking great.
Benavides should win easily but if he’s weight drained there could be an upset. Davis isn’t great but he’s no chump either.
At least we know Benavidez is not on the juice with that bod.
