After his last victory, David Benavidez was linked to many huge names, and his father and trainer rejected the risk of his son losing to one of the sought-after challengers, believing that the fight would not go to the third round.

“The Mexican Monster” became the unified WBO and WBA cruiserweight champion dominating and stopping Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez on Saturday, in one of the shows of the year so far.

Since then, Benavidez has been offered multiple options for the future, including a mammoth fight with Dmitry Bivol, a move to heavyweight and a potential split with Jai Opetaia – considered Benavidez’s biggest threat at cruiserweight.

Although talking to Boxing in Mill CityJose Benavidez senior has revealed he is unimpressed with the skills of the Australian, who was stripped of his IBF cruiserweight world title earlier this year when he signed with Zuffa Boxing.

“Don’t get me wrong, Jai Opetaia is a good fighter, but he doesn’t have a chin. In all his fights, he gets hurt. I don’t think he has a good jab, I don’t think he has good defense, I don’t think he has a good body shot, I don’t think he has a good upper body shot; he’s just a good fighter.

“He’s a disciplined player, I see the discipline, I just don’t see the talent.”

Benavidez Sr. then offered his predictions for the eventual competition, believing his son would defeat Opetaia “in one or two rounds.”

“Everyone thought Zurdo’s weight and power would be a huge difference. Opetaia… I think David will stop him in one or two rounds.”

Time will tell if the move to Zuffa will prevent Opetaia from fighting challengers who are not affiliated with Dana White’s promotional team, as fan pressure and demand for this fight continues to grow.
