David Benavidez vs Demetrius Andrade Nov. 24th

[ykdadamaja]

Gatta give props to Andrade for chasing a big fight.... even though he came up short, he still made a meaningful fight when others simply kept walking away. He had to move up in weight to get it, which makes him even more of a class act and a champion in my eyes.

i'd be more impressed if david b didn't duck david morrell & fought him instead

“Why does he have all the belts? He should just do celebrity boxing matches,” said David Benavidez to ProBox TV about undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.

“Why is he still holding the belts hostage and not giving the #1 contenders the opportunities they deserve? You owe it to the people; let’s give the people what they want to see.

I hope Benavidez keeps pushing those buttons. Canelo's wish for an Andrade upset victory failed... and now he's stuck with the continuing public opinion pressure for him to fight Benavidez. All the excuses in the world aren't going to sway the majority of the people that are clamoring for those two to meet. Canelo's only 33... so age isn't a viable excuse yet. Hell... if Canelo fought GGG when Golovkin was 40... he can certainly work up the "cojones" to fight Benavidez at 33 or 34 years of age. No excuses... no more waiting. People wanted Benavidez to fight Andrade first... he did. How many other names we gonna bring up for David to fight first? This is just a stalling tactic at this point. To say Benavidez has to fight "X" or "Y" first, before Canelo... is just another stalling tactic. I have to flat out admit it. Before Canelo retires, I'd like to see Benavidez knock him flat on his ginger ass.

He has options and Canelo is slowly seeing things flip. Didn't like the talk of 175...but I bet Canelo did. Only saving grace is he called on Bivol IF that's the route. I want Benavidez to stay a steady course at 168 facing the best. Either Canelo retires or he finally slides his knee brace on and sacs up, either way the ice is thinning.

I wouldn't really call that a duck. Just he said she said and fighters planting some seeds. It'll happen eventually. For all the glaring talent and promise of Morrell he simply needs to blaze his own trail right now. Do what Benavidez did and force the conversation and fan demand for Canelo. Earn your options. Because right now promotion and team are doing him no favors with his current low rent competition and whisper branding. He literally has a fight in 2 weeks and its crickets with little to no mention. Somewhat historical slot on Showtime, last card sadly, and they're rescheduling Morrell with an unknown who failed his medicals prior ffs. Man deserves a real push by now.
