By Frank Bay: Boxing’s face is Canelo Alvarez. I like it or not, this is a truth based on elementary economics. Alvarez brings the most money from every current boxer around the world, but most importantly in the United States (USA). Anthony Joshua can fight Canelo around the world, but he is certainly unable.
Not only the “face” economically, but also socially. Canelo attracts the greatest attention in recognized media (messages such as ESPN, boxing scene, Ring magazine, etc.) and with novel media, i.e. social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and X, which are dependent on clicks and views. So, if you want to cover boxing, you will talk about Canelo Alvarez in any way necessary.
Simply put, Canelo Alvarez undertook where Floyd Mayweather ended, and in front of him Oscar de la Hoya and to Ali. Like Canelo, they led out celebrities, actors, athletes and musicians. They attract the eyes and dollars of celebrated people and an ordinary man. This is how boxing works and as always worked. But from time to time there is someone who wants to disturb the system and the powerful role of the sauce train. Take us to Davis Benavidez around 2025.
Red monster
Who is David Benavidez, can you ask? In fact, Benavidez is on the other side of 28 years and he has been professionally boxed for 12 years at 168 pounds and 175 pounds. He achieved an impressive record of 30 wins and without losses from 24 KO. Technically, you can call him a 2x master, but this is based only on technical values, because he lost it first.
David, although he lost the title because of drug utilize and a second to the missing weight. He beat Porky Medina and Ronald Gavril for these titles. Not entirely the murderer’s government, but he was still the youngest 168-pound in boxing history. Benavidez is currently fighting for PBC and is advised by a notorious ghostly character Al Haymon. He is managed by the well -known boxing form Sampson Lewkowicz, who also discovered talents such as Serigo Martinez and Marcos Maidana.
Benavidez has always been a talent fighting in the shade, he says, being a fat child of his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. Jose Jr was a very advertised perspective, but because of the injury he was not able to move, so the family’s success depended on the green and teenage David.
There were already stories about David, because allegedly 13 -year -old sparring with such as Gennada Golovkin and other professionals. He was still the best guarded secret in boxing, but his star grew because the word was not. The best rank once tried to get the best beach Benevidez from the highest rank, but to no avail. David had ups and downs, but his falls could not come in a worse time.
Canelo Alvarez: King or dictator?
Bringing us back to the face of boxing. Canelo Alvarez was to move to 168 and become the undisputed champion in just 18 months. It was perhaps the worst fate of everyone for Benavidez, because since he lost the title, he was unable to maximize him, being one of the opponents that Canelo Alvarez had to go through.
No, instead, his stable Caleb plant gained a chance for Alvarez and a 10 million dollars changing life, which he apparently got after Canelo fell for the first time. Well played, caleb resl. David Benavidez looked outside again and remained outside, like one Demetrius Andrade was while attempting to hunt red -haired Mexico during his unfortunate race.
Andrade tried Canelo more and more, chasing him and criticizing him at press conferences, where we now get the celebrated quotes: “Get Phuck Outta Here Mane” and “You Horible Fighter”. Alvarez told Andrade the same thing that he did nothing and that he would never get a shot for being so disregarding.
It was the moment when Alvarez announced that he was in charge, and if you wanted “Peya Dey”, you had to kiss the king’s ring and play nice. He told the world of boxing, “he does what he wants.” Andrade held rounds with the media and social media platforms, howls to the moon that Alvarez threw him.
Everything was unsuccessful, it fell on the deaf ears, and Andrade’s career died of vine when he played safely, deciding to be inactive and fight the fighters of the low -coaliber, waiting for Canelo Alvarez. It never happened, and David Benavidez used this scenario, eliminating Andrade. The conquest of a man said that Canelo avoided.
Birth of a villain: Mexican monster
Now that Canelo was in his division, Benavidez saw the delicate at the end of the tunnel. But he was still fighting rather when Alvarez took 168 thrones, during which he was once human. He assumed that he would return to the top in a brief time. He just had to wait. So, to start the trial, Canelo Alvares begins to call. It sounds straightforward enough, but it soon turned. Canelo had other plans.
A monster was born at that time. He received a marking stamp by the legend herself, Iron Mike Tyson. In Mike Tyson’s podcast, the unknown David Benavidez was a guest. Some say Tyson did not really know who David was, so he mistakenly called him a Mexican monster. And the city legend was born.
It doesn’t matter that David is half an elecuadorian. David started and ran with it. There was no better fit than the Mexican monster for 6’1 220pd David Benavidez to contrast with 5’6 160-Isling Canelo Alvarez. The Mexican monster was now a popular topic.
The one who wears the crown is massive
The monster was now on the path of war to the king. But Alvarez, which became undisputed, was in an indestructible fortress. And the king had greater ambitions, passing to 175. David had a name, but the future looked gloomy. Apart from the recognition of Alvarez, David has not yet beat anyone.
Canelo was at this point isolated from criticism because he became undisputed. But after the defeat Bivol, the monster and society saw the king’s weakness. At this point, the murmurs began with fans and critics. What would Canelo do?
The answer to most was that Canelo would play her safely. Now, looking back, most would say that he tried to hold the crown by choosing protected opponents, while behaving as if Benavidez was an ordinary beggar.

Josh Padley will face Serbian Marko Cvetanovic in the 10-round Undercard competition for the international featherlight title WBA on April 19, live on Dazn at Park Community Arena in Sheffield, England.
Padley-Cvetanovic will fight for Dalton Smith vs. Mathieu Germain at this event. Given the lower place, it is not expected to be a competitive fight. Of course, with the lack of Padley’s power, you cannot rule out a strictly fighting fight from beginning to end. You can expect Cvetanovic to aim at Padley’s body because it turned out to be exposed in his last fight.
Match debut
This is the first of the many fighting Padley (15-1, 4 KO), recently signed with Eddie Hearna’s boxing after his effort, losing to the WBC Lightweight Shakur Stevenson champion through the ninth round of February 22 in Riyadyh, Saudi Arabia.
Padley was recruited by Hearn as a replacement opponent Shakur after the withdrawal of the initially planned guy, Floyd Schofield. Hearn criticized fans for choosing a featherlight boxer part -time Padley at the invincible WBC ranking No. 10 Herrera Core (17-0, 15 KO), which would create a much more fascinating fight for Shakur.
Some fans thought Hearn protects Stevenson to stop him from knocking out and save him a potential fight with a huge amount of money with the star of a featherlight division, Gervont Davis.
Four-year-old pro Marko Cvetanovic (13-0, 6 KO) has one significant name in her CV, the journeyman Viorel Samion, who fought many eminent fighters during his career. Cvetanovic detained a 43-year simulation in the third round due to injury last year on June 28. Apart from him, Cvetanovic largely fought veterans and perspectives during his miniature career. He started as a kick-boxer in 2018, but he abandoned one successful fight for focusing on boxing.
Featherlight limits
Padley’s lack of power makes it arduous for him to match any of the huge punchers or skillful fighters in a featherlight division. You can’t match him with such as Abdullah Mason, Raymond Muratalla or Edwin de Los Santos and expect it to reach the fourth round. Hearn can choose target fighters such as Denys Berinchyk, Maxi Hughes or Joe Cordina as Padley’s options. Introducing him with 22-year-old Jadier Herrera would be a bad idea.

Promoter Eddie Hearn predicts that on April 12, the struggle of unification between Jaron Masters Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will be “the biggest fight in the USA this year”, when the headline at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.
Hearn says that this fight will show whether Ennis (33-0, 29 KO) is “real great” or not. Unfortunately, Ennis looked great in his last defense of the title against Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Some believe that the shoes showed his real colors and that he was never as good as noise.
Stanionis: Test
After Jaron worked for a 12-round decision, boxing fans began to jump over, abandoning the Ennis ship and perceiving him as a lost case.
It was not the first time Ennis looked marginal, because in his first fight he turned in bad performances against David Avanesian, Roiman Villa and Chukhadzhian.
Although Ennis talked about a good game, he did not look like the same warrior who had been organized with a higher class of fighters since he was. His boxing IQ is gone. We saw Karen so loudly and clearly when Karen taught him in November last year. The promoter of Matchroom, Hearn, may have remorse the buyer, regretting pouring the signing of Ennis.
If the shoes look bad against Stanionis on April 12, it will be engaging to check whether Hearn will keep him on board or give it up like a bad habit.
“This is the biggest fight in the USA this year. It is supremacja. #1 against No. 2. WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine,” said Eddie Hearn to Stamping At around April 9, the fight between the IBF Errol Spence welterweight master and WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City, Up-to-date Jersey.
“This is the best struggle in the welterweight and stylistically division, it is such a brilliant fight. Stanionis is a beast- the whole action, a bunch of action and a really good technique.” Shoes “are really against it. Despite all the noise and everything, this is a fight in which “shoes” show that it is a real great, and I can’t wait. “
Hearn is wearing his promoter’s hat when he claims that Ennis vs. Stanionis is “the biggest fight in the USA this year” because apparently not. There is an excellent card on May 2 at the Times Square, which has several fights that will attract greater interest in fans than this.
“Hall Boardwalk, I think we will have 10,000 there. It will be absolutely amazing,” said Hearn. “This is the biggest fight in the USA this year and the best fight in the USA this year. Yes, April 12 at Hall Boardwalk.”
In Boardwalk Hall there will be a nice crowd for the ennis-Stanionis party. Shoes and Stanonis will have to keep a fun program to make fans elated. Hearn hopes that the shoes are making a number on Eimantas so that he can start setting another unification fight with the WBO WBO BRIAN Norman Jr. Or more likely that WBC Master Mario Barrios.
It seems to me that Hearn will save Norman Jr. Finally, because he is the most tough of the other two masters he would have to defeat. The longer Ennis is waiting, the better for him, because Norman Jr. He can be picked up by someone, which would save him a problem with fighting him.
“It’s a unique collection of two lanes. WBA and a ring magazine,” said Boots to Matchroom boxing about his fight with Stanionis.
“It’s a good fight. Stanionis is one of the best. I think he is one of the best in this weight,” said Derek “Bozi” ENNIS. “This is where you will see shoes at a different level. They have not seen a high level yet. I think that the shoes have fallen into the habit of exclusion.
