Anthony Jarrod’s Benavidez title shot: Why the face is against Truki Aralsik’s pick
Anthony Yalde says that Torki Aralsuk personally reached out to him and asked if he wanted to be David Benavidez’s opponent to defend the WBC Light Heavyweight title at the ANB Arena in Riyadh on November 22nd. Yarde (27-3, 24 Kos) said he quickly agreed to the fight against Benavides (30-0, 24 Kos).
Yard has lost twice in his world title attempts and there was a backlash on this pick as he has never beaten world-class level opposition. It is unfair to other candidates to be given a repeating world title shot with yards despite a lack of notable victory for top-level fighters.
Yard’s “Can Tomato” Record
It’s understandable that if Yardo beats the murderer he’ll get another title shot quickly, but he’s not doing that. He fought Four canned tomatoes After being knocked into oblivion by Artur Beterbiev. These are the yard beats of the victims to film this title:
– Lyndon Arthur
– Ralph Bilkan
-Marko Nikolic
– Jorge Silva: 23-15 Records
Who are these people? Yardo, 33, should have risen to world class levels after being destroyed by Beterbiev. Why did he fight these scrubs? I know the answer. Create fake records to repeat rinsing and empty victory, and are given a title shot for nothing.
Yard: Can he confuse Benavidez?
“It’s an opportunity. I can do this. There’s always a chance,” Anthony Yalde said. SECONDOUT About his battle with David Benavides. “On paper, Benavides is smoking me. But those who saw me fighting think that this could be a banana skin for Benavides, and I think so too.
“I think it’s a very interesting battle for the fans. Do you feel like you have the tools to win this battle? Absolutely.”
This fight won’t be “funny” for fans unless they enjoy watching the opposition given to executioner Benavidez. The yards were at the British level and failed miserably in the second innings. He faced world-class fighters with knockout losses to Artur Beterviev and Sergei Kovalev.
Turki Alalshikh’s Yarde Selection
“Turki Aralsiv said he wanted me,” Yalde said. “I said, ‘Oh, that’s an honor.’ He asked me if I wanted a fight, and I said, ‘Absolutely’. He said, “Okay.” I asked him to look into the small details on my team.
“He said there were four or five other fighters, including me. He told me his name, but he said he wanted me,” Yarde said.
Great option Benavidez
– Ben Whitaker
– Imam Khatayev
– David Morell – Rematch
– Jossas
It would be better for Turki to use as Benavidez’s opponent, rather than recycle Yardo for another unfair world title shot by one of the fighters listed above. If none of the above fighters were available, Tulki had to contact super-middleweight candidates Osley Iglesias, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbili to see if they were willing to fight the Mexican monster.
The Turki Picking Yard shows just how barren the light heavyweight talent is. Why does Yarde get the opportunity for another world title when he was knocked out two years ago by former light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev in 2023?
