Coach Jose benavidez sr. Say it would be “an honor” for his son, David Banavidez, to fight Hamzah Sheeraz. Jose Sr. Mention that a battle between Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 COs) and ‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez would be an exciting one for the fans.
What did benavidez sr. About sheeraz impressed?
Benavidez sr. Was impressed with Sheeraz’s fifth round of Edgar Berlanga this past Saturday night in Queens, New York. He says he can fight heavy weight with his size, hand speed and power. Hamzah will not have to do it to face Benavidez. Sheeraz will only have to move one section to 175, and he can challenge Benavidez’s WBC Light Heavyweight title.
“It would be an honor to fight sheeraz. He is a wonderful person. He showed tonight that he deserves to fight with someone, ‘said Jose Benavidez Sr. Kgtv When asked if he would be interested in Hamzah Sheeraz fighting against his son, ‘the Mexican Monster’ David Benavidez.
Sheeraz and his promoter, Frank Warren, would take a great risk if they prefer to fight Benavidez rather than sit and wait for a fight against Canelo next February. If Sheeraz wants to impress the fans and show them that he really is, ‘the Mexican monster’ fight, Benavidez would be the way to do it.
“For us it would be a big fight. He is a good fighter. He showed it today. It would be an exciting battle. So, every day when Turki makes the fight happen, no problem, ‘says Benavidez Sr.
When is sheeraz against Canelo?
Turki Alalshikh is not going to match Hamzah Sheeraz against benavidez. He knows better. He wants him to fight against Canelo Alvarez in February 2026. These plans can change if Alvarez loses against Terence Crawford in September. But for now, that’s the idea he wants.
It should be disappointing for the super -middleweight contenders who in turn waited to challenge a world title against Canelo. Sheeraz will jump in front of them after just one fight in the 168 pound division after beating one of many fans the ‘hype Job’, Berlanga. To make it sports, sheeraz must manage a mini -gauntlet of these fighters to earn a title against Canelo:
- Osley Iglesias
- Christian Milli
- Jose Armando Resendiz
- Diego Pacheco
“When he was fighting, it reminded me a bit of Sebastian Fundora. He is super long. He could fight against heavyweight. He could fight in many divisions, ‘Jose Sr. said of Hamzah. “You have seen today how he adapted and how disciplined he is, and how much power he has with both hands. It will be very interesting to the people. ‘
Sheeraz is a more dangerous version of Sebastian Fundora. He is an amped up version with excellent hand speed and power. If you were to add the elements to Fundora’s game, you would have sheeraz.
Why Berlanga lost against Sheeraz
“Edgar had a great opportunity to get big fights. Maybe he underestimated Sheeraz,” Benavidez Sr. said of what went wrong for Edgar Berlanga in his loss of Sheeraz.
The only chance Berlanga had to beat a fighter with Sheeraz’s hand speed and strength was to jump on him in the first round. He did not and was eventually destroyed in the fifth. He couldn’t do his homework. It was perhaps a failure of nerves of Berlanga. He knew what he had to do to win, but his courage abandoned him.
