If there is a sapphire on how to handle yourself when he is heavily skipped by top opponents in boxing, the unbeaten light heavyweight David Benavidez is working the right way.
Benavidage (1-3, 20KO), 21-year-old “Mexican Monster”, Mexican icon and Unified Super Middleweight Champion Kenllo Alvarez did all the things he had done. However, Benavidage never was disappointed to come empty and instead of himself as one of the largest sports stars in the sport and as one of the best for its pounds.
Former title holder Olecasander Gozdike (after both hands injury) outpoints successfully in 2024, after successfully proceeded to light heavyweight, Benavidage recovered in January To score Vijay in its most consequences till today When he won the unanimous decision against David Morlel Jr. in their protest-view-view conflict in Las Vegas.
Benavidage has now found himself as a compulsory opponent for the winner of the undeniable light heavyweight between Artur Betarbiev and Dimitri Bibol by being active against the different style matches he can find in recent years.
A win could probably introduce Benavidage to the global stardom stratosphere, and although he did not completely renounce the idea of fighting with Alvarez, Benavidage proved that he does not need to perform everything he set.
A former two-time super middleweight title holder who has not lost any title inside the ring has made him a smaller 168 pound champion in history since the victory of 2017 against Ronald Gavril.
To deal with violent power shots, for a humiliated bullies who are often squares in front of its opponents, Benavidez remains an incredible responsible defensive presence and truly creative aggressive force. He has also built his stamina in a way where against Morel, he can go to 12 hard rounds at high speed against anyone in the world.
Since 2022, Benavidez has been serving five wins against the current or former world champions, and each of them – including David Lemiax, Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrde – has brought different styles against him.
Morale has proved to be the most difficult and the most talented enemy, Benavidage, has faced the best shot of Morale, and both outboxed and outslagged him in a thrilling 12 -round fight.
Although the jury is still a threat to one-point in 175 pounds of 175, its power shots are frozen and the high speed he is working is going to be a problem for the ring he entered for. No one and a few are running the speed that he is up to than boxing fights Benavidage.
Using a criterion that considers everything from success to current form, let’s look closely at the top fighters in the ring. Below is the latest pound for the pound ranking update after Uzzyak’s win in December.
