The revelation of David Benavidez about his previous sparring success Dmitryjum Bivol may be the reason why the newly crowned uncommonly unquestioned promoters of the heavyweight master are not willing for this fight to happen.

Instead, Bivol promoters insist on fighting Canelo Alvarez or trilogy with Artur Beterbiev. The promoter of Matchroom, Eddie Hearn, also mentioned Callum Smith as the Bivol fight option. Smith’s memory instead of Benavidez tells you everything you need to know. This is protectionism at work.

Dmitry’s options

– Artur Beterbiev – Trilogy
– Canelo Alvarez – Rematch
– Callum Smith

Benavidez’s story

Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) says he imprisoned Bivol in the corner and “lit it” “15-20” A quick notification that almost dropped him. He says that after the end of the team, Team Bivol did not want him back for sparring. The combination of Beravidez and fearlessness are cryptonite for the BIVOL fighting style.

Unfortunately, for Benavidez it is Being treated like a pariah Now one of the untouchable classes, contaminated, because it is too risky and would end the miniature reign of 34-year-old Bivol as a four-lane master of 175 pounds. WBC ruled this week that Bivol must defend itself against Benavidez, but their ruling has no teeth.

Even if they tried to force him, Bivol will probably leave the belt. First, they would try to work in a step with Benavidez, but if he refused, the belt would definitely be released. However, it is difficult to believe that WBC would enforce their ruling.

Bivol defeated Artur Beterbaver by the 12-round decision of the majority in the rematch last Saturday, February 22 in Riyadh. Bivol won because Beterbiev released his foot from the accelerator after he corrected the action from three to six rounds. It seemed that 40 -year -old Artur tired, allowing Bivol to control the action by default because he did not pull the trigger on the blows.

“Yes, I almost dropped him and I’m not lying. I don’t have to lie about anything. There were many people who saw sparrings, said David Benavidez XAsked if it was true that he “beat” Dmitry Bivol in sparring. “It was a great sparring session.

“I paired Bivol several times, but last time I paired it, I almost dropped him,” Benavidez continued. “I caught him in the corner. We had four rounds, and it was in the last 20 seconds. I lit his ** with 15-20 shots. He doesn’t lie at all, but after the round they said they didn’t want to pair anymore. “

Between his strength shocking earth and the main attractive charm of Gervont “Tank” Davis “Davis” claims that he is the current face of boxing with significant merits. He turned out to be a “cash” along with the fight with Ryan Garcia in 2023, which currently sits as the fifth largest gate in the history of boxing in the USA.

30-year-old Davis, the current WBA master, is a champion of three divisions who got into the ranks, proud of a unique 93% factor of winning. After starting his career as the protected Floyd Mayweather “Tank”, he broke out, packing arenas in the United States and leaving a trace of destruction behind him. It is a proven attraction-per-view next to Canelo Alvarez, but Davis has more attractive options for future megafights.

Before Saturday’s title defense against Lamont Roach Jr. At Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Up-to-date York (20.00 et, Prime Video PPV), we look at the best performances of Davis’s “Tank”, which helped shape his career, including his demolition of Garcia, his memorable Uppercut to end the fight with Leo Santa Cruz and others.

April 22, 2023 – KO7 vs. Ryan Garcia

The huge clash of two juvenile knockout artists was a huge cash success (reported 1.2 million wage purchases and goals from over $ 22 million), which push Davis and Canelo in a conversation of “Facial of boxing” after winning him in the seventh round. Entering a very anticipated fight, Davis and Garcia finished 88% of their opponents and very few expected that this fight would need the opinion of the judge, and they both promise to end it in 12 rounds.

Garcia started quickly, entering the gas and shooting Davis from the opening bell, landing 10 out of 53 blows in the first two rounds, when Davis was patiently waiting for opening. He found him with just over a minute in round 2 and drilled a pot with a blade of left hand, which sank him on the canvas. It was the first Power Punch Davis that landed in battle, and Davis showed extraordinary patience against his opponent. Garcia got up and continued to fight Davis during the next four rounds. In the 7th round, Davis delivered straight into the body, which almost no one saw in the arena, but certainly felt one Garcia. The delayed reaction meant that Garcia sank to his knee and he was immediately counted.

Throughout his bravado before the fight, Davis surprisingly admitted that he was padlica in the fight against Garcia.

“I was nervous,” said Davis. “Only I see how he knocked out so many people. I see so many people in the gym. I see him knock out so many people on the clips. “

But this time Garcia would not get it. Instead, Davis stood high before the crowd of 20,842 fans on T-Mobile Arena.

October 31, 2020 – KO6 vs. Leo Santa Cruz

In the perspective, it was Davis’s first real career test. He entered the ring with the four champion, who was an extremely busy puncher and could give notoriously economic Davis, the longer she fought. Not to mention that Santa Cruz turned out to be extremely strong throughout her career, he was never knocked down in 39 fights. This changed when he met Davis, and the world realized how true Davis’s power was.

As expected, Santa Cruz was occupied from the opening bell, throwing 241 blows to Davis 160 to four rounds. Santa Cruz was overtaken on the results cards in three rounds, but Davis was getting closer to landing. Santa Cruz never withdrew and forced Davis to fire, absorbing the punishment while withdrawing his own.

In the sixth round Davis probably landed with the most violent blow in his career. 30 seconds left in the round, Davis had Santa Cruz back at an angle. Santa Cruz fired a trio of right hands, the last of which Davis perfectly signed up, immersing herself under and releasing the cruel left upper mountain results. The lights were turned off for Santa Cruz before his body crashed into canvas in a terrifying scene. Nokaut catapulted Davis to fame and strengthened him as one of the most talented juvenile talents in all boxing.

June 15, 2024 – KO8 vs. Frank Martin

Martin was the fourth in a row of the invincible warrior Davis. Although Martin did not have the same value as other potential opponents of Davis and was seen as a high risk option and a low reward that Garcia Nokaut won.

Once again Davis was leisurely and lost each of the first three rounds on the cards of the results of judges. Martin consistently won the exchange with Davis, while directing the power of the Baltimore warrior. However, in the fourth round Davis began to close the distance and land with his fertile power beats. It was an impressive demonstration of Davis’ patience, who gave Martin a false sense of security, standing in front of him during the exchange and establishing another powerful sequence that led to his 28th victory.

“I knew he was going to get tired,” said Davis later. “That’s what I did. Stand there, or the goal, so that he can get tired, and when he got tired, I started to separate him. “

In the eighth round, Davis imprisoned Martin in the corner and stunned the “spirit” with the upper left. Martin went out on his feet, but the wicked straight left on the left side of Davis was an exclamation mark of another unforgettable combat sequence.

December 5, 2021 – UD12 vs. Isaac Cruz

The only fight on this list that did not end at a distance is for a reason.

Davis originally faced Rolando Romero. But when Romero was pulled out of the fight because of the allegations of sexual assault (later closed without accusations) two weeks before the fight, Davis decided to keep the date against the replacement opponent. Cruz wore a very miniature value of the name as a substitute, but he was invincible in 18 consecutive fights, including victory over Diego Magdaleno and Francisco Vargas. Davis was a significant favorite to win the fight, but he never materialized because of the hand injury during the fight, and Cruz was definitely more tough than expected.

Davis was forced to issue boxing skills and reject Cruz’s body attack, who pressed Davis from the opening bell in an affair, which he won in the next unanimous decision. For the first time, fans had the opportunity to see how Davis fights mainly with the back foot and set the meters, not a knockout. Cruz was tenacious, but Davis boxed beautifully, at least with one hand in the second half of the fight, before he did enough to get the winning results 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112.

Since then, Davis has not gone at a distance.

January 14, 2017 – WHO7 vs. Jose Pedraz

Davis went through an unclear opposition until that point in his career with a 16-0 record, and all of them came through a knockout. Although impressive, there were questions about how good Davis would be against the opponent of the high caliber. Davis had the opportunity to prove that the junior champion of the younger champion IBF Pedraza and passed the test with flying colors.

Pedraza floated in his career and wanted to do the third defense of the free title, which he won against Andrey Klimov 18 months earlier. Davis entered the fight as Underdog, but turned these plants upside down with a huge opening round, in which Puerto Rican took over the hooks and mountains, which Pedraza swayed many times. Against the higher Pedraz, Davis managed to routinely land on the upper result and present a brilliant arrangement of time and internship. Pedraza began to claw back to the fight, but Davis settled in the zone and patiently waited for opening to free himself with destructive power.

This moment occurred in the seventh round, when Davis uncovered the cruel right hook, which Pedraza almost sent from the ring. Pedraza defeated the count, but he was unable to continue, because Davis won his first critical world title and established himself as a future star in sport.

Gary Antuanne Russell says he is going to “”dismantle” and “Outclass” by Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela to pick up his title WBA Lithe Welter from him this Saturday, March 1 in their main support at the Barclay Center, Brooklyn in Up-to-date York. Both will fight the 79.95 USD card on PBC on the PPV Prime Video.

Russell (17-1, 17 Kos) admits that he has “Chip on the shoulder“After the first career defeat from Alberto Puello last year, June 15 in a 12-round decision. He says that the judges gave Puello just because he went against him twelve rounds. Russell entered the fight with a series of knockouts of 17-charges.

Loss and denial

Boxing fans believe that Russell simply invents and cannot admit that he was not good enough. He still refuses to confront the truth of the PO since then to touch his loss, which is not a good sign. Gary denies what happened to him, and he probably won’t learn from failure. This is a classic mentality of losers, which we see here from Russell.

It can be said that Russell is still trying to understand what happened to him in his loss with Puello. He will not accept that he lost to a better person. At the moment Russell is his worst enemy, which appears in Saturday’s fight and will probably make the same mistakes as last time.

Rayo (14-2, 9 KO) explained that he was going to box Russell and spend him all night. He will make it hard for him to utilize his internal Power game to land in this fight.

“I am not one of those who walk and dilute myself after my first loss. I enter this fight with the chip on my shoulder, “said Gary Antuanne Russell Fight Hub tvThat he wants to reflect from the last defeat from Alberto Puello on June 15 last year. “I enter the bag with this fight and show you a little more.

“Nothing,” said Russell asked what Rayo brings to the table to this fight. “If someone makes something look competitive to me, it’s because I’m not going to do what to do. These guys bring nothing special. They are not at my level.

“The trainer is not fighting for you. It’s me and you, “said Russell, asked if the fresh coach of Valenzuela, Robert Garcia, will make a difference for him in this fight. “I want to dismantle it in every respect. I’m not going to look there [knockout]But I know it’s there. “
