Benavedez saying he will go to cruiserweight next and face Ramirez.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
these will probably be out on turki's & the ring's channels in a few days but incase anyone wants them before then:
david benavidez v anthony yarde
http://ok.ru/video/9709956368997
brian norman jr v devin haney
http://ok.ru/video/9710077348453
jesse rodriguez v fernando martinez
http://ok.ru/video/9710141442661
abdullah mason v sam noakes
http://ok.ru/video/9710318389861
david b v anthony went pretty much as i thought. surprised devin got a knockdown. i reaaly hope we get bam v kenshiro for 115 undisputed. sammy is a tough guy, abdullah needs to work on his defense

zurdo doing everything possible not to face jai. i get david b wanting to grab some belts to increase his bargaining power in a potential jai match up (if both bodies sanction the bout for their titles). david b gonna miss artur & dmitry at 175?

Bivol v Beterbiv are holding the division until their 3rd fight. Benavedez wants to face either of them and especially the winner.
In the meantime, Benavedez v Zurdo Ramirez is a good contest and challenge for him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I heard that post fight and it was definitely all planned out it sounds. I'm not big on jumping up as the same scenario is playing out for Benavidez, not getting the 'big' fight in respected division. When Benavidez came in at 175 there was talk right off about him facing the Bivol-Beterbiev winner. And then they lined up the rematch. Talk and tease again Benavidez would get the winner, and then the trilogy was made. One thing that is pure factual is Turki himself came out directly against Benavidez facing either of them before the trilogy. Almost word for word he just shut it down. Then Bivol has the injury situation and Beterbiev sits in limbo. So, what is Benavidez to do...wait some more? I just get the feeling that for whatever reason, Turki isn't his biggest fan and they don't get along. David just isn't a ring kisser I suppose. The man just wants to fight and beat people up. Turki may "make big fights" but he sure as shit isn't making them for Benavidez. Benavidez v Zurdo on its face is decent. But it feels like a matter of convenience for Oscar to make on Cinco de mayo rather than division defining fight. And that is all on Zurdo doing his utmost to not face Jai. The talk of David going heavyweight is silly talk to me. As a fan I don't want a heavyweight David, I want they man given the opportunity and respect of clearing out a division and unify.

My predictions were more hope than reality. It was a great card and really enjoyed the night of boxing.
Mason v Noakes was the fight of the year and both were brilliant world class boxers.
Norman let me down and was schooled by Haney.
Benavidez is a lot better than I thought. His boxing skills and volume of punches thrown may him a real danger for Bivol/Beterbiev. His fight with Zurdo will be a brutal contest and I think he is crazy enough to take on Jai.
Bam Rodriguez is a real superstar. P4P elite who should really be appreciated.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
puma martinez struggled a bit with an old kazuto ioka so there wouldn't have been many that would have given him a legit shot at victory over bam but he was an undefeated belt holder at or near his prime. outside of the israel gonzalez fight & the knockdown against juan francisco estrada, bam has dominated his opposition. i think because bam was such a heavy favourite against puma, people aren't giving him the credit he deserves & you're right, he needs to be appreciated

I'm not big on the Usyk talk just don't see the timelines matching up. And frankly respect to Benavidez, but as of today he is a Lt heavyweight. Not a proven cruiser of heavy. But should he do a number of Zurdo, feel confident in saying he'll have no qualms about getting into a ring with Jai. First things first though.
