Coach Jose benavidez sr. Say he thinks Dmitri Biscvol chose to avoid his son, David Banavidez, which is why he evacuated his WBC light heavyweight title rather than defending against him.
He believes that Biblical (24-1, 12 COs) want to hold his remaining three titles for marketability for as long as possible to keep him popular. Jose Sr. However, say Benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) will take them one by one of Biblical until he does not have.
“Avoid the battle”
Banavidez has been increased to the new WBC champion of 175 pounds. He also has the WBA ‘ordinary’ belt, while Bivol has the Super title with that organization. Jose Sr. say that Benavidez will force Bivol to defend or evacuate his WBA title against him.
Biblical will fight a trilogy match against Artur Betterbiev next. So there is a possibility that he may lose against Betterbiev. If this happens, the responsibility to fight benavidez will be on Artur’s shoulders.
“I think He avoided the battle. He knows that a fight against David Banavidez is a difficult fight and a very dangerous fight, “says Jose Benavidez Sr. Fight Hub TV When asked if he thought Dmitri Biblical chose to avoid David benavidez.
Biblical promoter, Eddie Hearn, says he did not avoid benavidez. According to him, Bsvol surrendered the WBC belt because he was under contract to fight better biev in a trilogy and gave his word that he would take the game. He also said the money is better for the better Biev fight than the benavidez match, which would have paid Biblical $ 8 million.
“These days, they want to make all these fighters money,” says Jose Sr. “They know that by keeping these belts as much as possible, they will be able to earn them. Once they lose all the belts, they go back to normal battles, and I think that’s what it is. ‘ They are (BIVOL) probably thinking, ‘Let’s just get rid of one belt, And we can hold three belts. ”
If that is what Bivol thinks when he relinquishes his WBC title, he doesn’t know Benavidez very well. Dmitri has become the new Canelo for Banavidez, and he will hold himself uninterrupted for a fight. He is going to force Biblical to give up every title until he is just an ordinary contender on the belt.
No escape?
“We also come to the WBA. So, little by little, he will be stripped, and he will have to give away all the belts, ‘Jose Sr. said that Biblical titles should give up one by one after Benavidez went after them. “Little by little, we’re going to take them away.
“Who is there at 175. We want the belts. We’ve already gotten one. It was very difficult to get it, but now we want the other. David is the normal champion (regularly) with the WBA. Biblical is the super champion, and we will have to make it happen.
