Benavidez targets Smith or Yarde, winner Eyes Bivol-Beterbieva

David Benavidez says he will fight Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde next. He leans towards Smith because he holds a temporary WBO temporary difficult title. Benavidez (30, 24 ko) thinks he needs that belt to help the winner of the Dmitry Bivol trilogy Vs. Arthur Beterbiev 3 to face him.

David Benavidez is already holding WBC and WBA ‘Regular’ Title 175 Pounds, but wants the second belt to help press the one who appears winning in the Bivol-Beterbiev conflict.

Benavides’s next opponent’s plans

“We are thinking about Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde right now. Obviously these are two top guys in that division,” David Benavidez said in Pound 4 pounds with Kamaru and Henry YouTube channel.

Smith and Yardde are two upper fighters, but not two top guys under Dmitry Bivol and Arthur Beterbiev. There is still David Morrell. I doubt any of these guys would beat Morrela. Benavidez is focused on trying to force the winner of the Dmitry buffalo vs. Arthur Beterbie’s trilogy struggle for the next confrontation with him. However, this will require the participation of Turki Alalshikh.

Bivol has already shown that he was willing to sacrifice the title to harvest Benavidez and if he did it once, he could repeat it. It is a bad stylish match for the buffalo to face the “Mexican monster” and it is not a spring chicken in 34.

We saw the buffalo crashed in the 12th round in his rematch with Beterbie’s last February, when Arthur suddenly came in with his pressure for the first time in the fight. The way Beterbiev waited until the age of 12 to finally pull the buffalo under the gun, he looked suspicious of some fans on X. They felt that Arrtur had been staying because he did not want to win the fight.

If he had, there would be no lucrative trilogy and he would have shot his leg. The way the buffalo crashed into these three minutes of pressure made it clear that there would be an easy prey for the younger, high -pressure style of Benavidez.

It would not have mattered how much he was doing Bivol, Benavidez would find him, overcome him with a volume and rejected his victory. Because of this, it is very possible that the buffalo will leave or withdraw again, not to fight the ‘Mexican monster’ and end for the first time in his career.

Why can a buffalo avoid benavidez

“We are thinking that this fight happens in the US that will bring me closer to the fight against these guys because I have a temporary WBA, I am a world champion at the WBC. Then, after winning Callum Smith, I will have WBO (temporary),” said Benavidez.

Benavidez seems to be worried about things that there is no control. It should be assumed that the buffalo will avoid him again, as he has already shown that he does not want part of the fight against him. Why should Benavidez expect something different? He should hope that Beterbiev wins, because he is brave enough to fight him. However, if the Turks decide to want to see the fourth buffalo vs. Beterbiev, you can’t do much Benavidez about that. Maybe he would like to consider moving on to the cruise and heading for champion Jai Predaia, because he would fight him.

“So, if they (Arthur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol) don’t fight me after that, there is not much to say. I don’t want to say that people fall me down, but if you get the most you have ever done in your career. And allegedly, I struggled lightly, why do you do it?” said Benavidez.

Bivol and Beterbiev are quite old and will be rich enough to withdraw without the need for additional money that would bring the conflict against Benavidez. They are likely to leave if the Turks do not want to finance the fight between Benavidez and the winner of Bivol Vs. Beterbieva. They will not want to deal with a considerable reduction of Benavidez’s salary, which would be a more difficult fight for them. They allegedly received $ 10 million for their rematch in February.

Without Turki’s participation, they would become far less. Again, these are older fighters. If he opposed the young lion like Benavides, he would not be ideal. The 40-year-old Beterbiev looked like he had lost a few steps from his first fight with a buffalo. Dmitry is now just a clean runner, and the tank is not enough to fight a young fighter to pressure like Benavides.
