Jose Benavidez sr. He predicts a knockout of the ending of his son, heavyweight master David Benavidez, in the title defense against Anthony Yarde on November 22 in Riyadh.

Benavidez’s weight

Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) is currently in something that seems to be a mini fat farmTrying to cut off all the weight he had put from the last fight in February. It seems that he has gained a little weight since his comprehensive fight with David Morrell. In a exquisite condition, in which Benavidez is now, he can lose his WBC title for Yarde. It seems that he was a bit too much live, celebrating his victory over Cuban Morrell.

“He is only 28 years venerable. He is not in great shape. I think he is still three or four years venerable,
said Jose Benavidez Sr. Fighting with sport on fanaticsSpeaking of David Benavidez.

Jose Sr. He shouldn’t be fooled. Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” is now in his first list and he has been there for the last few years. He could soon start going down, starting with the defense of the title against Yarde.

Benaviez is in the face of a great impact and an exhaustive fight against Cuban David Morrell. Although Benavidez won, he obtained the worst of this in terms of punishment. You could see injuries on his face from Morrella’s bulky blows. The last three rounds, from 10 to 12, were a pure nightmare for Benavidez.

Yarde threatens the annoying of the title

“I think he is one of the most arduous fights in our career. David wants to fight anyone. He doesn’t really care,” said Jose Senior about the fight against Anthony Yarde on November 22.

Yarde is one of Benavidez’s biggest hits, and the time of this fight is harmful to the “Mexican monster”. After the war in which he was against Morrell, it will be arduous for him to fight the guy with the power of Yarde.

“It was said that he was fighting the winner of Bivol vs. Beterbiev. I thought we would fight him. They decided to do a trilogy. Now we have Anthony Yarde. This is a arduous fight. These are two trains that come to each other. I guarantee that it will be a knockout” – said Jose Sr.

It would not be a great shock if Yarde removes nervousness. Benavidez appeared in Haggard and worn a battle after his last fight with Morrell. Even two weeks after the competition, his face resembled fear. It was still bruised and uneven.

You add to this the weight that Benavidez put in within five months of this fight. He allowed himself physically, becoming massive around his center. Removing this weight will be arduous for David.

Riyadh card: Crook the night

“We have a card that has been set to 22nd place. We want to steal the program,” said Jose Sr. That he wants his son, Benavidez, to implement the best performance in his title defense against Yarde on the November 22 card in Riyadh.

There are many great fighters on the November 22 card, and some with one -story power, such as Brian Norman Jr. And Abdullah Mason. It is doubtful that Benavidez can surpass these younger fighters, and he should not even try. He is a volume. There is no pop in his blows to get a knockout from Ferlment to steal the series as these younger warriors do.

“We can’t let nobody steal the program. So we will give fans a great program. This is a arduous fight with Anthony Yarde. He will be close to the front and is ready to fight David,” said Benavidez Ser.

If Benavidez exaggerates, trying to look impressive with the theft performance, he will leave himself open to one of the left hooks at the Yarde check. Can be knocked out. Yarde came to Artur Betebiewala with this hit in the fight in 2023.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
