Jose Benavidez sr. says David “Mexican monster” by Benavidez “would destroy” Terenka Crawford

Coach Jose Benavidez sr. He says that his son, David Benavidez, would be too “sturdy” and “too large” for Terenka Crawford, if they were to fight. He states that the “Mexican monster” will “destroy” Crawford in a super medium weight.

Canelo

Benavidez sr. He suggests that Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) is fighting some of the best pretenders in the 168-pound division to prove himself, because he does not believe that he has received full recognition for the victory over Canelo Alvarez on Saturday evening due to the deterioration of the Mexican Superstar state.

Jose Sr. He states that Canelo is not a warrior he once was, and he said it well before he fought Crawford. He believes that Alvarez lost a lot of the game of many wars he had, all exhausting sparring sessions he prepared for fighting.

Benavidez’s size and advantage

“David is too large for Terenka Crawford. I think Crawford will be 38 years aged. It will not be the same as Canelo. David is youthful, sturdy and super huge for Teune Crawford. With David is a different story,” said coach Jose Benavodez Sr. Millcity boxing When asked about the fight between David Benavidez and Terenka Crawford.

Benavidez has too many abilities of youth, power, size and combinations for Crawford. Age is not a factor. Crawford could be at the age of 20, and Benavidez would still be too much for him. The entrance to the massacre would be if Crawford fought with Benavidez.

As Chris Algeri noted today, on September 16, in an interview with Inside Boxing on YouTube: “Crawford does not fight that he cannot win,” which means that he would never agree to face Benavidez. He knows his limitations. Defeating a disappearing, flat Canelo is one thing, but it’s another story that tries to do it with Benavidez.

The approach that Crawford used against Canelo last Saturday, landing and then disappeared, was not practical against Benavidez. It would not stop him from tracking in the ring and sacked like a rabbit by a “Mexican monster”.

No validation of Crawford

“He must beat others in the Super Middle Wweight to get a full loan. I don’t know if he can do it. He is too miniature for this weight,” said Benavidez Sr. That Crawford must defeat the best pretenders in 168 to receive full recognition for the victory over Canelo

Jose Sr. He did not mention who Crawford would have to defeat in Super Middle Wweight to be approved by hardcore fans who follow strictly. They would be one of the best fighters that Crawford would have to overcome to prove himself:

  • Christian Milli
  • Oslyys Iglesias
  • Diego Pacheco

Note: I left Lester Martinez because he is Crawford’s sparring partner, a member of his team and his friend. He would be on the list if not. Hamzah Sheerz is up-to-date in the Super Middle Wweight division, so I didn’t include it.

This would show a lot of courage on the part of Crawford if he fought with Mbilla and Iglesias, because they are two of the three best fighters in the super medium weight division. These are not fights that Crawford would probably agree for two reasons:

  1. The high probability that he will survive: Mbilli is a machine of a volume attack, and he would be at the top of Crawford all night, raging through 12 rounds. Running would not be effective. Cuban Southpaw Iglesias is a huge blow with any hand, with a stab that is a sturdy blow. Its range is almost identical to Crawford.
  2. Unable to fight

Again, Lester Martinez would be among them were it not for his friendship with Crawford. It would be a great choice except their friendship.

Buda’s non -balance fans

“Crawford does not have huge supporters. I don’t think he stole Canelo’s fans. Crawford is a great warrior, but unfortunately there are no huge supporters,” said Benavidez Sr.

Crawford fans will not augment to Canelo level only because of his victory last Saturday. There is no country that supports him, like Canelo with Mexico. What’s more, the way Crawford won, moving around the ring all night, was not stimulating to watch.

Crawford used a mixture of Mayweather and Shakura Stevenson’s styles to make Canelo’s decision. When he won, the performance was in the monotonous side of the spectrum.

“Bivol defeated Canelo. Does Bivol have large supporters?” Jose Sr. said, arguing that Crawford’s fans would not augment to the level of Canelo after his win. States that Crawford “There is simply the same charisma as Canelo.”

Canelo Alvarez says players have to earn their chance

Published

Image: Canelo Alvarez Under Fire For “Earn It” Comments At 168

Canelo Alvarez still talks like a central figure in the super middleweight division, even though he no longer holds all the belts after his loss to Terence Crawford.

“They have to fight each other and then I will choose the winner.” Canelo said to Mr. Verzace. “At some point we all have to earn what we deserve, right? And they have to earn it.”

The comments were notable because Canelo is no longer a world champion at 168, and yet he still speaks from a position that allows him to avoid the same path he believes others should follow.


Since his loss to Crawford last September and absence following elbow surgery, the 168-pound belts have spread to a up-to-date group of champions that includes Christian Mbilli, Hamzah Sheeraz, Osleys Iglesias and Jaime Munguia.

Despite the loss, Canelo will still have an immediate shot at winning the world title against Mbilli on September 12 in Riyad.

This has sparked criticism from some fans who believe the former undisputed champion should now prove himself against threatening rivals before being given another shot at the title.

Fighters such as Lester Martinez, Diego Pacheco and Bektemir Melikuziev were mentioned by fans as opponents that Canelo would normally have to face if he was treated as a standard fighter rather than boxing’s biggest commercial star.

Canelo also rejected the idea of ​​closely studying up-to-date names entering the division.

“I never check it,” he said when asked about the current situation in the super middleweight division.

For many fans, this reaction only reinforced the feeling that Canelo still sees himself as a cut above the rest of the division, even though he no longer holds all the belts.

But the Mexican star remains the sport’s biggest financial draw, which allows him to move on differently than most fighters after defeat. While younger fighters continue to try to establish themselves, Canelo returns to another championship fight.

Junto Nakatani’s forthright verdict on Naoya Inoue’s powers

Junto Nakatani’s honest verdict on Naoya Inoue’s power

Head coach Rudy Hernandez clearly remembers the moment Junto Nakatani revealed the level of power he experienced from Naoya Inoue’s punches.

The two Japanese stars faced each other in the highly anticipated matchup earlier this month, which took place at the sold-out Tokyo Dome stadium in front of approximately 55,000 fans.

Many expected Inoue to retain his undisputed super bantamweight crown as the ponderous favorite, but his dominance in the early rounds came as a surprise to most.

At last, “The Monster” scored a clear unanimous decision victorybut was forced to overcome Nakatani’s attack between rounds seven and ten.

At this point, “Large Bang” suddenly came to life after his much more measured approach in the previous rounds, and he seemed to no longer respect his opponent’s power.

According to his coach, Hernandez, it was a key moment that, if it had come earlier, could have been enough to secure a points victory.

Anyway, the experienced trainer said Boxing Scene what Nakatani thought about Inoue’s strength, while believing that a potential rematch with Inoue would surely go their way, being so confident in Nakatani’s abilities that he promised to retire if he was proven wrong.

“If we don’t beat it [Inoue] in a rematch, I will never coach players again. I will retire. I’m leaving because I truly believe we’ll kick Inoue’s ass in the rematch.

“The moment Junto told me [Inoue] doesn’t hit as difficult, it was a game changer. I wish he had told me that in the second or third round.

Hernandez adds that regardless of their earlier head clash, Inoue’s uppercut in round 11 ultimately broke Nakatani’s orbital bone.

From there, the three-weight world champion put up an uphill battle to complete the full 12 rounds, let alone pull off a major upset.

Tyson vs. Mayweather exhibition postponed to fall 2026 due to hand injury

Published

on

According to a statement issued Wednesday by BZA PR on behalf of the promotion, the planned exhibition of Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather has been postponed to the fall of 2026 after Tyson suffered a broken arm during training.

The release stated that Tyson, who was photographed in a cast, is recovering and intends to continue fighting once he heals. He described the delay as a brief postponement and said the date, location and broadcast plans for FIGHT SPORTS would be announced soon. According to information, the exhibition was last scheduled for May 30 under agreements with CSI Sports and FIGHT SPORTS.

The fight between the two former champions was first announced in September 2024, and was originally planned for spring 2026. In the following months, the fight took place on several proposed dates and locations without a confirmed broadcaster. The planned date for April 25 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not materialize. Veteran reporter Dan Rafael wrote in March that the fight “definitely won’t happen on that date,” citing a source familiar with the plans.

Tyson’s advisor, Amer Abdallah, said Boxing news in April that the contract remained valid and that he believed the fight would continue. Tyson himself admitted that he injured his hand earlier this year.

Tyson (59) last competed in November 2024, when he returned to the professional ring and lost by decision to Jake Paul. Mayweather, who retired with a professional record of 50-0, has not fought professionally since stopping Conor McGregor in 2017, although he still competes in exhibition fights. Mayweather has separately confirmed a June 27 fight against Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in Athens and is linked to a September rematch with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

CSI Sports, founded by Richard and Craig Miele in 1997, owns the rights to a catalog of championship boxing events and operates the FIGHT SPORTS network. The company said it would debut the up-to-date technology in 2026, without providing further details.
