Why Bivol will not fight Benavidez: a sparring session that ended badly for Dmitry
Published
4 hours agoon

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. “

Former world champion of many weight, Mikey Garcia, believes that Terenka Crawford must firm on his fight with the United Master of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Mikey wants to see the Crawford box (41-0, 31 KO), change their attitudes and angles to Outsmart Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO).
On the other hand, Mikey says Crawford will get “Money bags“In your fight with Canelo and that’s what it is. Even if the 38-year-old 38-year-old Crawford is concerned by Canelo, he will return home with lots of money. The fans will be bad, but only those who are not aware of what this fight really is – not sport. In sport, an athlete must get a chance to compete for gold. Crawford doesn’t. This is a celebrity match.
Garcia thinks that Crawford should not flood this fight because he will not be a stronger warrior against Canelo. In his last fight with the former WBA champion, the younger medium weight champion Israil Madrimov on August 3, Terenka showed that his power was not the same in 154 as in 147 and other weight classes.
No tuning
Crawford goes another two divisions after releasing from 1 -year fighting Canelo in 168, probably will cause his power to be even less significant in this weight class. Terenka showed that he is not fighting for acclimatization in a super medium weight or simply be acute. He would prefer to sit and wait, making some fans suspecting that his main goal of this fight is bankingTo exploit people who pay him a lot of money.
Dear thing for Crawford to do them, because the boxing audience and he would be to achieve until 168 and defeat the best pretender to experience before meeting Canelo in September. The fight is already guaranteed for Crawford. So what does he have to lose, first receiving the melody? Turks Alalshikh will not change their minds about the fight against Canelo-Crawford, if Terenka loses in the fight for a warm-up. Crawford’s resistance to Tune up explains that it is all about money for him, adding to his retirement socket egg, with Golden handshake Corporations give presidents when they go out the door.
“Crawford is very talented, one of the most talented fighters I’ve seen. I think the size is critical at the moment, because you have already seen a bit when he fought Madrimov – said Mikey Garcia Warrior About the fact that Crawford is a bit too diminutive to fight Canelo Alvarez in Super Middle weight. “It wasn’t Crawford we saw.”
The size is critical in this fight. We saw Israil Madrimov easily made the weaker shots of Crawford and lit it, thanks to which his head looks like an vintage -fashioned pinball machine. Crawford has no power at the age of 154 and will definitely not be in 168. That is why he will not tune up and stop talking about the willingness of the undisputed in the age of 154.
“Now the transfer of two additional classes will be a substantial challenge, but they both return home with bags full of money. That’s all that counts. They will face their biggest challenge, but you will leave with all this money, and then just experience there, the same win.
“I’m saying a box. Do not try to face strength and size when you fight Canelo. I really like to see him [Crawford]. Don’t try to be as forceful as Canelo. Box, box, box. Be elusive or quick and exploit your experience. Turn Southpaw and return to right and mistake Canelo. That’s what you have for you.
“Canelo has a size. Fighting combinations, pressure and exploit of advantage to be heavier all night. Apply your power. This is how Canelo must do, “Mikey said.
Lifeless fight?
We have already heard from coach Crawford, Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, about the game plan Canelo Fight. Bomac said that they would follow the plans of Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Dmitry Blivol by boxing, stabbing, moving and holding Canelo to stop him from landing. It will be an ugly fight, very lifeless to watch, and the fans will feel as if they were cheated.

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.
