Jose Benavidez Sr. Predict a knockout for his son, WBC Light Heavyweight Champion David Banavidez, in his title defense against Anthony Yarde on November 22 in Riyadh.
Benavidez’s weight
Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) is currently in a mini-fatTry to cut off all the weight he has gone since his last fight in February. He seems to have gained some weight since his grueling fight against David Morrell. In the delicate state in which Benavidez is now, he may lose his WBC title to Yarde. He seems to have lived it a little too much and celebrated his victory over the Cuban Morrell.
“He’s only 28 years old. He is not in his lead. I think he has another three or four years,
said Jose Benavidez Sr. Combat sports on fanaticalTalk about David benavidez.
Jose Sr. Don’t be a child yourself. ‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez is now in his first place, and he has been there for the last few years. He can start downhill soon, starting with his title defense against Yarde.
Benaviez stands in front of a big puncher and comes from a grueling battle against Cuban David Morrell. Although Benavidez won, he received the worst of it in terms of punishment. You can see the damage on his face because of Morrell’s heavy push. The last three rounds, 10 to 12, were a pure nightmare for benavidez.
Yarde threatens title upset
“I think he’s one of the most difficult fights in our career. David wants to fight with someone. So he doesn’t really care, ‘says Jose Sr. About Benavidez fighting Anthony Yarde on November 22.
Yarde is one of the biggest punchers that Banavidez faces, and the timing of this battle is bad for the ‘Mexican monster’. After the war that he was against Morrell, it would be difficult for him to fight a man with Yarde’s power.
‘It was spoken to fighting against the winner of BiVol against Betterbiev. I thought we were going to fight against him. They decided to do a trilogy. Now we have Anthony Yarde. This is a difficult struggle. These are two trains that come to each other. I guarantee that it’s going to become a knockout, ‘says Jose Sr.
It would not be a big shock if Yarde pulled out the dismay. Banavidez appeared Haggard and wore in the wake of his last battle against Morrell. Even two weeks after the competition, his face looks like a scare mask. It was still bruised and lumpy.
You add the weight that Benavidez has been wearing in the five months since that fight. He physically let himself go and touch his center. David will be difficult for David to take out the weight.
Riyadh -Card: Steal the night
“We have a card that has been piled up on the 22nd. We want to steal the show, ‘Jose Sr. said he wanted his son, Banavidez, to have the best performance of the night in his title defense against Yarde on the 22nd card in Riyad.
There are many wonderful fighters on the 22nd map, and some with one -time power, such as Brian Norman Jr. And Abdullah Mason. It is doubtful that benavidez may be better than the younger fighters, and he should not even try. He is a volume puncher. He doesn’t have the doll in his bumps to get a highlight of the pulley to steal the show as the younger fighters do.
“We can’t let anyone steal the show. We’re going to give the fans a wonderful performance. It’s a tough battle with Anthony Yarde. He’s going to come forward, and he’s ready to fight with David,” Benavidez Sr. said.
If benavidez goes overboard and tries to look impressive with a display reinforcement, he will leave himself open for one of Yarde’s check-left brackets. He may be knocked out. Yarde destroyed Artur Bethbiev with that punch in their fight in 2023.
