Having watched the All Access program for this fight, I've come away with some thoughts.
First, I couldn't suppress a smile during the segment when both Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez were all so supportive of Benavidez as the new face of Mexican boxing. Everyone here knows how much of a Canelo hater I am. This just underscored what not just me... but many boxing fans feel. That Benavidez is a throwback to the warrior style of Mexican champions of old. No diva bullshit or clauses. No fukking cherry-picking or marinating. Just a guy who wants to get in there and go to war.
Obviously I'm rooting for Benavidez in this one. To force Ginger's hand and have Benavidez kick his ginger ass. If Andrade were to pull off the upset I wouldn't be so confident, as I don't think his style matches up well with Ginger. Don't get me wrong. Demetrius could certainly outbox Ginger. But I don't want him outboxed. I want someone to splatter his diva ass all over the ring. Unfortunately, Team Canelo would pull some excuse out of their ass to avoid Benavidez should he win. He (Canelo) hasn't used the "I don't fight fellow Mexicans" excuse for some time now. Maybe he'll dust it off.
I'm looking forward to this fight. I like them both, as people, and as fighters. I think it'll be hugely entertaining fight. This is how boxing SHOULD be.
David looks embarrassed by Jose Jr and his juvenile antics.
Charlo questioned why Jose had to walk all the way over there just to do nothing.
Damn. I'm gonna be outta town that night and am gonna miss quite a night of boxing.
I'm rooting for David to beat Demetrius... but I think I'm gonna be rooting for Charlo to shut up Jose Jr.
Of course, ain't the first time Jose Jr. talks crap. I remember Crawford put him in his place.![]()
Yeh it's basically the wbc baby-step program to see if Charlo is actually interested in being an active fighter. Oddly enough it's not the first time Jermall will be fighting a one-legged fighter. But Charlo looks off, like his speech and his face looks bloated. Warming to this card nicely. I do believe the money's worth is there on undercard and main. Sadly they waited till the last Showtime PPV to bring it
. Went in last week and just cancelled all appointment for Fri and Saturday, making a full four day holiday weekend out of this one
. Shit I haven't done that in years. Priorities man.
Dunno if I’ve got this right, but is this the Charlo with mental health issues?
If that’s the case, I don’t think he should be anywhere near a boxing ring . He’s clearly doped up on meds (not PEDS I have to say) . It’s a fucking time bomb IMO. Loads of different serious scenarios. Disgusting to be honest.
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
Priorities is right, bro.
I'm glad you're gonna be able to enjoy what should be a memorable fight card.
Me... I'm gonna have to take one for the team. Happens to be a special family event/weekend, which is gonna have to take precedence over the fight card.
But damn... why couldn't it have been another "Fury vs Ngannou" instead??![]()
I'll miss being in on the RBR...
i'm looking forward to the subriel matias v shohjahon ergashev fight. pity there's rumors shohjahon wants to retire win or lose. hopefully a win will change his mind. i'm not sure if the pablo vicente v muhammadkhuja yaqubov fight will be streamed. sergey lipinets v michel rivera & hector luis garcia v lamont roach should both be competitive bouts. the more i think about it i can see the main event being a stinker. i hope i'm wrong. i think demetrius starts fast as usual but turns the fight into a run & clinch fest from the midway point, with david b taking a points win with a knockdown or two along the way
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
