Benavides’s shift to Canelo: a psychological retreat from a tough challenge?

David Benavidez may be sobering about the WBC, the winner of this month’s rematch between bright light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

On social media today, Benavidez (30-0, 24 Kos) made an urgent plea to superstar Canelo Alvarez, saying, “I told him.Give your fans what they deserve. ” Benavidez already aims to fight the winner of Beterbiev-Bivol 2 on Mega Millions, why does he need Canelo? This sudden target change in Benavidez can only be interpreted in one way. He is afraid.

There is no other way to see this other than telling Benavides to Artur Betterbiev or Dmitry Bibolu that he is rethinking about the dangerous work he has before him.

Minimum resistance path

Fear will help people walk the easy path. He expects painn fighting for the 175 pound championship. Perhaps you fail and get knocked out like many of Artur’s past enemies. His call to Canelo today clearly shows that he wants to be saved from the wolf, Beterbiev, and the Mexican star hopes to help him.

Benavides’ recent fight with David Morell (11-1, 9 KOs) on Saturday night, February 1st, may have taken away the confidence he had in his confidence. yeah. Morel did a lot to Benavidez’s face and turned it into a monster-like mask with his hard punch.

Cuba showed that he had far more power, dropping Benavidez in the 11th round and dropped it with heavy guns on the 12th against tired fighters. That fight showed that Benavides was not ready for knockout artist Altul Betterbiev, perhaps even Bibolu.

“Mexican Monster” is doing a big job in front of him, trying to defeat anyone who appeared from the Light Heavyweight Championship on February 22nd. Fans believe Benavides doesn’t want to fight Betterviev or Bibol now, and knows he could lose and his career would sink later.

“Imagine Canelo just agree and fights me already. It’s not about money. It’s about what sports need right now, and we owe it to fans. The best in boxing history. It’s going down as a Mexican shootout. Let’s give the fans what’s right. We’re 300% confident on this side, but we can’t say the same thing about the other side,” Benavidez said. I said that. Instagram.

Benavides comes across here as if he begged Canelo to help him. He has not asked Canelo. He begs him, and for only one reason. He does not feel the mission to fight for the 175 pound championship against the Beterbiev Bibol winner.

All that Benavidez should do is let the WBC know that they don’t want to become essential for that fight and hand it over to Morrell. He will be happy to work on the job.
