David Banavidez says he would prefer to fight Dmitri Bisvol rather than Artur betterbiev if he has the choice. Benavidez wants to fight Biblical (23-1, 12 COs) because he has haunted him a lot and feels that he really won his previous battle against Artur Betterbiev.
Fans would see it as a pure 100% signal that ‘the Mexican Monster’ Benavidez has nothing to do with better biev after the crook he took against David Morrell this weekend. He cannot afford to continue to take the kind of punishment if he does not want his career to end in the next two or three fights.
Benavidez says the beat of Biblical will prove to fans that he is “better than Canelo”, which is not true. Fighting Bivol gives Benavidez a much better chance of winning than to face Artur Betterbiev, which would be a nightmare for him.
Obviously, the judges saw it differently, giving the victory of Betterbiev (21-0, 20 COs) as a result of Biblical who prefers to run the last seven rounds after being cut and injured by ” A powerful right hand of Artur.
Benavidez’s strategy
It is surprising to anyone that Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) does not prefer to fight the dangerous puncher betterbiev because he has a great force and is an excellent inner fighter.
The way in which benavidez fights would be ideal for betterbiev, as he would use his volume punch. In addition, the punishment that Banavidez took his last fight against David Morrell last Saturday night took a lot of physically out of him. He was by the Cuban several times and had nothing left in the last three rounds.
Benavidez just hit arms and ate large shots on the head that left his face unrecognizable. He looked like he was transferred by a truck. In comparison, Morrell looked unnoticed, further indicating that Benavidez did not have power at 175.
He was good when he fought against older, smaller fighters at 168, but with light heavyweight there is no power in his shots. His last two fights saw him take more punishment than all his other 28 games together.
“I would choose Biblical because he beat Canelo. So, if I beat Biblical, it would make my case that I’m better than Canelo, ”David Banavidez told Ariel Helwani channel If he prefers to fight Dmitri Bisvol as Artur Bererbiev, it will help him to prove that he is better than Canelo Alvarez to impressive ultra-hardcore box fans who follow the sport carefully.
“I know Dmitri BiVol very well. I haunted him, and he was a big fighter, and we had many wonderful sessions. So, I would like to fight against Biblical, ”Benavidez continued. ‘If Biblical wins this battle (Betterbiev), they will have to do a rubber match. Who am I to say that they cannot fight another battle. They fought two major battles. If that were to happen, I wouldn’t fight until they finished, and then I would move in battle after they had a trilogy.
“My dad talked to him over the phone (Turki al-Sheikh). We will go there on February 22 (Riyadh), and we will probably find out everything if Biblical wins again (Correction: Betterbiev beat Biblical on October 12 last year) or win as Biblical. It’s probably too much of a long time. “
It is very clear why Benavidez wants Biblical to win rather than Betterbiev, because he does not vote well against Artur. He knows this, of course, and prefers the finesse fighter plane Biblical, which has no power and is a runner -up.
“I think I have proven to everyone at what level I am. I against someone, I will bet the house against someone against someone, ”said a badly marked, sunglasses that Banavidez wears.
