Does AJ have a chance at beating Fury? Both are past it, but AJ still has his power. I wonder if Fury can avoid stiff AJ for the whole fight
>>
May looks real good for boxing. For reference:


>April 25th DAZN
Lawrence Okolie vs. Tony Yoka
Bakary Samake vs. Ermal Hadribeaj

>May 2nd DAZN
Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani
Kazuto Ioka vs. Takuma Inoue

>May 2nd Prime PPV
David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez
Jaime Munguia vs. Jose Resendiz

>May 9th DAZN PPV
Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois

>May 9th DAZN
Ra'eese Aleem vs. Angelo Leo

Didn't Jake Paul try to Ice him in Jamaica?
>>
>>154213435
Fury or AJ? Paul fought AJ in an expensive sparring match and got his jaw broken
>>
I think AJ can beat Fury, simply because I think AJ can land on Fury, and unlike Wilder, AJ can generate power in all of his shots. That being said, I'm not sure if AJ WILL beat Fury. He's gone through more inside and outside the ring, so I'm not so sure
>>
>>154213459
I might be crazy, but I think AJ can beat Fury. Most likely by decision. I just wonder if that wreck has affected him at all

If Jaime loses to resendeez, can we get Jaime vs Plant?
>>
>>154213459
>>154212034
AJ's last win was on a stiff, open target ngannou. Fury always fights to the level of his opponent and he's looked average in warm up fighters before, and then shown great heart and skills in fights after against Wilder and Usyk.
AJ got schooled by Usyk twice, I never saw him beating Fury and I still don't. We just saw Fury having a fucking lump walk at him for 12 rounds, and he still managed to negate him and land tricky shots to a strong last few rounds. Aj gets hurt to easily and then has an adrenaline dump, he just simply isn't mobile enough and is too chinny.
I'd like to see him fight Wilder but he's avoided that his whole career too.
>unlike Wilder, Aj can generate power in all his shots
He can generate accumulative power, but he's not the one punch artist that was Wilder, who very much could generate crazy power from odd angles, as we saw against Ortiz.
>>
>>154213459
I don't think AJ beats Fury, and even less so now that he is training with Usyk.

Max still trying to do his best Stephen A impression.

Shady is worse, but he's a casual and I don't expect anything from him. Max has been commentating on boxing for more than a decade and he's still fucking clueless and still kissing ass.

We will never know...

I'm mostly pissed the Bible of Boxing invited a fucking CASUAL to discuss boxing on their BOXING PODCAST. The shit he says actually makes me violent. I luckily haven't seen any clips of Max polishing a knob, barring the clip where he had to hype up Bumlamega and Bitchins when they joined Zuffa. That shit made me laugh, because you can't hype up a fighter like Berlanga

Zuffa is a disgrace. Fighters that sign with Zuffa is publicly signaling to their fans that they are fighting for money and not glory or legacy. Benn is Zuffa in a nutshell.
>>
>>154228298
Zuffa is not “fighting for money”, it’s a joke because it’s attempting to be the UFC for boxing, when the entire appeal of boxing over the UFC for fighters is their ability to negotiate far larger, fight-specific contracts. Boxers that sign with Zuffa are actually signaling that they don’t have much hope of being draws and making boxing money and just want a consistent, lower income, like UFC fighters.
>>
>>154228298
To view Zuffa the same way many viewed Saudi boxing. The difference is, I turkey actually did give us good fights for a while
>Inb4 turki is actually involved with Zuffa
>>
>>154228446
Which would explain why guys like Otto are signing, but why are Berlanga and Hitchins signing? They've still got potential to make real money
>>
>>154228474
Turki is involved with Zuffa but he doesn't let his favorite fighters anywhere near it like Hamzah and his other Muslim prospects or ring ambassadors

>>154228446
True. The only notable big money signing is Benn. Berlanga definitely not seeing that kind of money

"Anthony Joshua" is an olympic babby who got told his entire career he was great, yet has zero charisma and has barely faced solid opposition. His biggest career win was against a youtuber.

>>
>>154285117
If AJ wasn't so stiff and robotic at times, I would disagree with you. His style is as generic and artificial as his persona. I still wonder if Fury is a little over the hill and can get caught by AJ
>>
>>154291203
The last time AJ really KOed somebody was more than 5 years ago, not counting Helenius or the MMA bum and Jake Paul. AJ is not some big puncher. He's definitely getting taken apart by Fury
>>
>>154292871
>AJ is not some big puncher.
Huh??? Why would you not count Helenius? It's not like it was a lucky punch that took him out; he set up the KO shot after rounds of admittedly sucking ass. I can understand not counting The YouTuber or mmanlet, but he worked for the Helenius KO, and most likely would have done the same to Otto if it kept going. What are you even saying? AJ's biggest challenge is putting the pieces together to land on Fury, but if he does, it's going to be horrible for him
>>
Makhmudov is expressing interest in being AJ's comeback fight. Clearly he's finally received his Fury check lol
>>
The Streets™ are calling for Najee Lopez vs Ben Whitaker
>>
>>154294632
AJ is not a puncher. Wilder is a puncher, Wardley, Dubois, Itauma. It took 7 rounds for AJ to knock out a guy who almost died from a tap from Wilder on the backfoot in round 1. People think AJ is a puncher because of his meme fight with Ngannou and Jake Paul, but when he landed on Dubois, Dubois didn't even flinch. When he traded with Dubois, he got knocked the fuck out.

Assuming AJ somehow lands on Fury, remember Fury survived three fights with a real puncher. AJ doesn't have power and he doesn't have a puncher's chance against Fury.
>>
>>154296045
Historically, Latinos have been known to expose the British so... Let's make it happen
>>
>>154296120
You do understand Helenius walked into Wilder's right, right? That why he was put to sleep. I'm not denying AJ's skill is is questionable, considering he shouldn't have suffered a bloodied nose or took that long to beat Helenius, but to say he doesn't have power or he isnt a puncher is ridiculous. Don't forget, he got stopped against Dubois BECAUSE he rocked him and got over zealous. And AJ has been considered a puncher way before the mmanlet and Paul, so I don't know what you're talking about
>>
>>154296389
The only case for AJ being a puncher was before Ruiz when he was fighting bums minus old Klitschko. That was 7 years ago. That's like saying Canelo is still a combination puncher. AJ hasn't shown any power except against Helenius, Ngannou, and Jake Paul in this decade.
>>
>>154296702
>AJ hasn't shown any power except against Helenius, Ngannou, and Jake Paul in this decade.
That's about a 1/3 of his opponents. We're excluding Usyk (extremely difficult to stop), Pulev (stopped), Franklin (not the best, but historically durable and was fought during AJ's identity crisis), Helenius (stopped), Otto (corner stoppage, but would have totally stopped him if the fight had continued, judging from what we saw), and Dubois (was on the verge of scoring at least a KD before he got caught). Of the six guys he beat this decade, 4 were KOs and 1 was a corner stoppage. I just think your expectation for "puncher" is too high

This is good news. Jokolie is genuinely my least favorite active fighter, and yet he continues to fall upwards. I imagine he’ll get a slap on the wrist and be back in no time, but I will NEVER forget just how awful that “fight” was with Chris Billam Smiff. It’s not that I dislike defensive boxing or the Sweet Science or any of that. Jokolie isnt that. He’s slow, uncoordinated, inaccurate, and weak to boot, turning every match into a hugging contest, only to wind up gassed. I dont know how people support this guy, Dwyer always gassing him up. He’s trash, every time I watch him fight I regret it. Thank God he failed that drug test, if only that were the end.

Thanks for the /cbt/ by the way. I had to filter the entire UK due to their retarded spam. /box/ is in such a sorry state to the point where it feels like some kind of coordinated attack to make it impossible for anyone to actually have a discussion.

Okolie is such an offensive, "entertainment" eyesore, I often forget just how suicidal he makes me when I watch his hug festivals-- I mean lullabies-- I mean make a wish boxing matches-- I mean fights, until it's fight week and the boxing community collectively shits on the very exciting Okolie by posting the most exciting moment of the fight where he pulls off an insane jab-to-clinch combo that puts his opponent on queer street. It's a mystery how he was even the main event for this fight. They could've had a debutant fight the Uber driver that drove him to the arena as the main event and that would have been a million times more exciting


/box/ is mega fucked right now. I wish it was a raid of 10-15 people, but it's no more than 5 basement dwellers giving us a first hand glimpse of their mental illness. I know at least one of them wants a place to discuss boxing (which is strange, because he's shitting where he wants to eat), so I hope they lose interest and fuck off back to heem

Now they’re way more self absorbed, all of them think they’re hot shit and feel entitled to huge paydays and dont care about entertaining or winning over the fans if they get the money. It’s all about self preservation, but they forgot what business theyre in and would rather spend time with zesty feminine beefs on xitter. Most of them are also way more pussy and lazy than the previous eras. Hearns was a beast and trained and fought like one. These modern day zesties are weak and unfocused in comparison

I don't know how long it'll take for us to get a bizarro Floyd to revolutionize the attitude of boxers, but I hope it's soon. Or perhaps it's simply the attitude of Americans today? It's not a coincidence the fans today are totally ok with supporting fighters whose primary and secondary motivation is making money and making bigger money, despite the fact they aren't getting a dime for "investing" in them by buying tickets to watch them crush cans. But I digress

Miller coming in light at a slim 305lbs against Pero. Hasn't been that rail thin since he fought Andy Ruiz
>>
I really really wanna see Shock vs Shakur if he beats Ford. What a streak of wins that would be. Shock's confidence doesn't come off as arrogance like Keyshawn. I really dig his vibe
>>
>>154368016
I think Shock beats Ford. I like Ford, but the fight that put him on the radar, he was losing. After that, he fought a bad game plan imo against Ball, then he looked quite lackluster in the following match. Shock has been on a good run beating up Nova, Robson, and dominating Fulton (which seems to be mostly because of Fulton's retardation). I think he'll show up prepared and take that decision win. I really wanna see Shakur fight more southpaws. Like Zepeda, he's confident in his ability, but he knows what it feels like to lose and is more well rounded. Shock said he's willing to even move up to 140 to fight him lol, which isn't a foreign class for him. Only way Shakur can avoid him is by moving to 147

Indian Olympian coming out now. Sounds like he's fighting an aggressive Mexican. We're gonna see how his defense is
>>
Oh shit, this is a guy who beat Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad "The Greatest" Ali. Nico wasn't the best prospect, but he had some skills. Interesting fight, this might be
>>
It's rare seeing an actual Indian fighting. They're usually British by nationality
>>
Not a bad little starter. Both guys are bad in their own way, but Dev is good at countering and the other guy is there to be hit
>>
Dev redeemed
>>
>nico lost to this
Wack stoppage imo. Dev is cool, I guess. Southpaw, knows how to step back and counter. Not the worst I've seen

This guy actually beat Nico's ass lmao did I forget how ass Walsh was?

Pretty fun fight

Yikes. A loaded up rear hook right on the chin. Horrible
>>
>>154381956
Saw the replay again and he was too focused on those jabs to the body. Didn't even register that was loading up his rear hand
>>
>>154382010
Is there any valid reason to lead with an uppercut when midrange. Not close enough on the inside to throw short uppercuts, not far enough to do one of those leaping uppercuts, midrange just asking to get hit by any shorter, faster punch
>>
>>154382097
There is none. All I can think of is he realized he bit on the feint (again (again (again etc.))), and muscle memory/cluelessness told him to throw a lead uppercut? At this point he didn't know what to do. He fell asleep and the other guy was actively looking for a shot
>>
Can't believe that was the co main. Finally time for big babby sloppa

Lmao that toupee shit really blew up huh? Didn't know he got a segment on so many news networks

Notice his patchy his head is? Does Nair really do that, or is that the real reason why he wore a wig?

Miller fights for us fatties
>>
Miller's flat feet could be a problem here. Pero, if he wanted, could circle around Miller's lead foot and Miller would only have his own jab to stop it. I also don't think he likes those body jabs
>>
Pero's lead hook is pretty good so far
>>
Miller is so obese. He's not quick or fit enough to avoid or block Pero's shots. I don't see much of a way for Miller to avoid a KD at this point
>>
>>154382627
Well he can rough it up and up the pace. Good start so far for miller
>>
>>154382548
Well Pero is content staying with his back on the ropes lol, what a game plan
>>
I totally underestimated Miller. He's been adjusting since round 2, and he's way better on the inside than I expected. That's his win con. Let's see if he can consistently get there
>>
Phenomenal case of cock and ball torture
>>
Pero could just walk a bit and gas Miller out but instead he wants to stand and trade, giving Miller an advantage and now he's getting his ass kicked
>>
>>154382749
I don't even know if they prepared for miller. I saw some early body jabs, but you'd think they'd try to make the land whale chase them, right?
>>
Pero needs to escape
>>
>>154382781
the land whale is leaning on him and bully him now, Pero is still on the ropes, zero foot work this match
>>
Pero looks more tired than miller lol wth
>>
This fight is something else, it looks like Miller is using Pero as a heavy bag doing drills
>>
>>154382905
He's having fun. I wanna say he should be careful, but Pero won't land anything crazy at that range. They really didn't prepare properly for Miller
>>
Pero can escape the ropes and spin miller, but he isn't making distance
>>
Pero is getting hit with a lot of shots man he doesn't look very good. Very short, non telegraphed shots from Miller
>>
>>154382993
Waiting for Miller to put a little juice on one of them. Pero is there to take them, I believe. Right now he's just touching him
>>
>>154383008
Miller still playing with food, not seeing him trying for a KO
>>
>>154383169
He kinda does in bursts, but those Aren't pero by surprise
>>
>>154383218
*Aren't taking pero by surprise
>>
I like watching miller fight on the inside, but I wish he knew how to change tempo mid combination. Either tapping or wide or fast shots
>>
Missed the first 2 minutes, but I liked his pace in the final round. This was like a sparring match
>>
That fight was lost by Pero rather than won by Miller. Pero's gameplan started failing in round 3 and he didn't bother changing it for the next 9
>>
>>154383457
Yeah the moment Miller decided to close the gap, it was over. I'm sure he had the skills to escape and make distance, but he never did that. Didn't help he gassed out super early

The build up of Miller and Wilder would be entertaining, Miller is right about that. I think either Miller would be stopped (look luck betting on that with current Wilder) or Wilder is going to get battered. Fun fight, both guys deserve each other.

You know, this would be nice to go on while Fury-AJ is going on. The winners can fight each other. Hopefully we get the long awaited Miller vs AJ

AJ is coming back to fight some kickboxer. I blame Usyk. And Fury. And Floyd...

The Ring also confirmed AJ vs Fury is set for the 4th quarter of 2026. I won't be watching AJ kill another non boxer. I don't know what he's thinking using this guy and Jake Paul as tune up fights for Tyson Fury. What a joke

Looking at AJ's resume after Usyk, it really is no wonder why he's fighting the guy he's fighting. Franklin was a good comeback fight, but then he went on to fight Helenius (who recently got folded by Wilder) and Otto (who would go on to get embarrassed by Chisora). Then he fights a circus fight to "defend boxing's honor" after Fury almost gets humiliated against an 0-0 boxer, only to fight a Dubois who just stopped Miller and Hrgovic. He had zero time to properly stress test his new "well rounded" style, and instead opted to fight weak opposition after weak opposition until running into a guy who can actually punch. He's going to get embarrassed by Fury
>>
I wouldn't be surprised if Inoue got dropped. And because of that, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost. Despite his defensive flaws at times, I think Inoue's experience will be his key to victory, especially his experience with being hurt

Hasn't lost in forever, but he's pillow fisted. I don't know his actual skill level, but he hasn't fought an undefeated guy in 5 years. Best guy of the three. Vargas by highlight reel KO.

The only undefeated can on this card. Has a fine KO rate against ok opposition, but he also hasn't fought in over a year. Tucker should be able to beat him.

>how are you lads dealing with the schizos?
One, by filtering UK and Finland, seeing as how it’s just those three weirdos having a roundabout conversation with themselves.
Two, by letting those retards have /box/ and setting up camp in a different thread. Comfy boxing threads are always the fallout shelter when the main thread becomes too radioactive, but never in /box/‘s history has it been in such a sorry state. Most people have abandoned it as those three retards have made it impossible to have any kind of discussion. Plus I would argue the state of the sport is in somewhat of a transitory state as the old draws are fading into retirement with not enough new stars, weird Saudi fuckery with fights no one asked for, the removal of cable boxing and transition into streaming services.

Im sure when a fight is on it will come back to life, but comfy boxing thread will remain for the knowers. That aside, Inoue vs Nakatani is a huge fight and Im surprised there’s not more buzz around it, but one more for the boxing core. I think a lot of people are underestimating Nakatani
>>
>>154451134
>Plus I would argue the state of the sport is in somewhat of a transitory state
It is quite strange to witness as a "new" boxing viewer with my own eyes. There's going to be a large exodus of heavyweight boxers soon. At least hopefully, for their health
>That aside, Inoue vs Nakatani is a huge fight and Im surprised there’s not more buzz around it
For some reason, this knockout artist who likes fighting and showboating isn't a household name among American casuals unlike Tank or Canelo. Inoue has been in way more interesting situations lately and has been more active than them, yet you won't see celebrities going to his fights

AJ is on a streak fighting non boxers. His last 3 of 4 fights will be non boxers after this, with the lone boxer knocking him out. He clearly doesn't want to box anymore. He only saved his career by the eyes of the casuals by knocking out Ngannou else he'd be forgotten by now

lets not forget that the very same ngubu beat the shit out of queen, he was robbed, im not saying hes a real talent or anything like that but he definitely made look queen who at the time was being shilled as the best hw by many really bad, well putting that aside it seems that queen supposedly wants one more fight before the aj one, which I dont think it's a smart thing to do unless hes fighting an absolute can, even if aj vs queen were to happen in dec that leave us with very little time for one more fight, I think hes just bullshiting everyone

>Gongora, UD

Mbilli’s supposedly got an 80% KO ratio, but most of those are from his can crushing days. Against his most notable opponents, I wasnt impressed with his power nor his volume. Canelo may be older but he’s got a chin on him. It will take someone meaner than Mbilli to actually hurt him.
>>
>>154452011
Yeah AJ seems to be willing to take the Tommy Fury route, where he wants to do meme fights as a career despite being an actual boxer. It's sad, but since his identity crisis, he's been struggling to be that guy again
>>
>>154456514
Mbussy is one dimensional. He's like the black Issac Cruz, which means it's not too impossible to not get knocked out by him

Bro broner is FAT. What happened to Don King's boxing? I know AB lost, but King was supposed to "revive" Broner's career. Geez this is pitiful to watch
>>
>>154459887
Not impossible, but being one dimensional wont help against Canelo and he couldnt get the job done against the aforementioned guys. Everytime I watch him Im a bit disappointed. Canelo has never been down and it’s hard to say he’s ever been visibly hurt or rocked. Now that can change “overnight” with an aging fighter but Canelo is defensively responsible. I just dont see Msilli causing too much issues for him

>>154462870
>Canelo has never been down and it’s hard to say he’s ever been visibly hurt or rocked
He got rocked bad before earlier in his career, which is why I don't believe the "Canelo had a great chin" rhetoric. What's true is that he's great at avoiding clean shots, but he doesn't get hit flush on the chin enough to persuade me he has a great chin. Thinking back on the Lester fight, Mbussy can't do anything but come forward and throw at the same pace, so I wonder how Oldnelo will get around that. Don't think he'll stop him, which means either Canelo will win or Canelo will "win"

Can't say I believe in Torres to win
>>
>>154463304
same, I like the guy but I always said that hes way too small for the div and hes not particularly super skilled so eh, still pretty nice if that fight were to happen, young guys like them shouldnt be afraid of earning a L, that way of thinking should be gone for good
>>
>>154463304
I do lean towards Itauma too, but I would like to see him face a competent, fellow fast-combination puncher and see how he does
>>
>>154463210
>He got rocked bad before earlier in his career
And yet has taken punches from guys like GGG, flush, and barely flinched. He’s got a chin on him, it’s not up for debate. Even Beterbiev has been knocked down more than he has. Canelo got staggered EARLY but it’s not like he was in survival mode doing the stanky leg. I also dont think that paints the full picture of his career. The point being that Canelo is not an easy nut to crack. Even if you want to say “well he maybe got hurt 20 years ago so he’s chinny”, he’s got very strong defense as well as knows how to roll with punches to take the steam off them.
Crawford, Bivol made it LOOK easy, and Canelo is slowing down, but they also never hurt him and wouldnt commit rather choosing to overwhelm Canelo with volume and movement. Mbilli is not that kind of fighter, nor does he have the raw power to make a worthwhile “trade” with Canelo without getting knocked out himself.

>>154463304
Torres may be an underdog BUT he’s hungry and he does have explosive power, speed, and good aggression. Itauma has yet to truly be tested against a fighter that’s like that. Itauma’s main wins are Demsey McKean (lol), Dillian Whyte far past his prime, and punching bag Jermaine Franklin who only gets wheeled out to make other heavies look good as he’s not a threat.

Torrez’s best win is Vianello, which honestly I think on paper is a better win than any of Itauma’s opponents, but he also is wet behind the ears. It’s a good fight. Torrez is smaller, it does matter BUT he is a LIVE underdog and it would be fireworks to watch those young guys go at it. I could totally see Torrez pulling it off or getting knocked out, or both guys having a pretty even fight

David Benavidez - 196.8 lbs
Zurdo’ Ramirez - 200 lbs
>>
>>154464004
Fierra also missed weight for the umpteenth time, but this time the fight wasn't canceled. Probably because they couldn't cancel two of Duarte's fights because his opponent came in over lol
>>
>>154463656
I do think Mbilli and Canelo is going to be a very interesting fight. We'll see Canelo in a mode we haven't seen him in a while, either going back and using his brain or standing in the center/ropes the entire round. It's gonna be fun
>>
>>154463656
>Torrez’s best win is Vianello, which honestly I think on paper is a better win than any of Itauma’s opponents
That's why I either want Itauma vs Torrez or Itauma vs Vianello next. Set up the fight or make it happen right now. Half of the participants WANT IT, and the other half is beating known guys with relative ease

Davids always been a little soft in the middle, but idk if it's because he's shorter and next to Zurdo, but man does he look fat
>>
>>154468485
Random thoughts: Benavidez hasn't carried his power to 168. Watching his fight with Yarde, he was landing overhand bombs but still took seven rounds. I'm not sure he bothers Zurdo at cruiser. From this pic alone I'm leaning towards Zurdo. Benavidez was also rocked multiple times against Morrell. He's got underrated defense with his high guard but he still gets hit really cleanly and he doesn't look very solid when getting hit like Canelo or GGG. This might be too big a step up for him
>>
>>154468974
People seem to forget he was dropped while he was throwing a combo earlier in his career. That's the best way to land on David since he can't pull while throwing

A lot of fans on other social media sites don't like to acknowledge David's lack of KOs above 168 (barring Canelo fans). It's something serious to consider; I genuinely believe he's a "pillowfisted" fighter at the classes he belongs in, and he was chronic weight bully at 168. Still, how Zurdo responds to relentless pressure will decide if he gets UD'd to death or pulls off the upset
>>
>>154468485
the mutt has never been body beautiful so no one really should expect him to look like adonis lol, hes just goot that chubby CHI look
>>154469969
>I genuinely believe he's a "pillowfisted" fighter at the classes he belongs in, and he was chronic weight bully at 168
thats pretty much obvious but hes still got a good engine, which is key for his fighting style, thats how he stops his opponents, not by actual power but by accumulation, dunno why that bothered some fags in the past lol, they were claiming he was this big puncher when thats never been the case like I said its not like he needed to be like that because his style didnt rely on big punches for his KOs

as for zurdo, he has faces big punchers at cw but none of them were pressure fighters like the mutt so that should be a good match up, we gotta remember that cw zurdo is more of a boxer, meaning that he moves around the ring and what not, so if he doesnt do anything retarded he should be ablle to do something against the pressure of the mutt
>>
Zurdo is a bum.
>>154470520 sums it up well. David Benavidez has always been a fatass in both appearance and spirit, but he has fast and more importantly ACCURATE hands.

It’s not that each shot holds immense power, but that they are fast and find their mark. You can look up Benavidez’s connect percentage if you think Im exaggerating. Zurdo has never impressed me although I hope he can make this fight interesting. For the Benavidez haters out there, keep your expectations low on this one.
>>
>>154470941
>Zurdo has never impressed me although I hope he can make this fight interesting.
I personally liked the cbs fight, he looked good in that one and althought the doritos fight wasnt particularly good, that fight showed that he wasnt afraid of exchanging punches with a guy that was known for having power

I dont think either guy winning should be considered a surprise, it will be up to the mutt to make the fight interesting
>>
>>154470941
To elaborate on this, you can check Compubox for their averages across all fighters and Benavidez is at #2 for total connect percentage at 38.5% with only Shakur slightly higher at 39.8%. He’s also 8thbon Average total punches landed/round, with most of the people ranking higher than him being much smaller fighters like Chocolatito, William Zepeda, Bam rodriguez etc.

According to Compubox Benavidez has the third most accurate jab putting him alongside Shakur, Inoue, and Bam Rodriguez. Joshua and Bivol are in the top.

David’s power connect percentage in the top 10. Also in the top 5 for opponents landing the least amount of power punches, showing David’s underrated defense and good spacing.


All these stats are just to drive home a point for a big guy, he’s accurate and connects a lot. They never really tell the full story and when even Conor Benn is showing up in some of these top 5s you have to question the usefulness of such statkeeping as they are ultimately arbitrary measures.

Question is how likely is the move up to cruiserweight going to slow him down considerably or is it more of a necessity due to not being able to make weight? Perhaps seeking more glory in another division. But to put Zurdo down as completely useless isnt fair to him as a boxer. This is a dangerous fight to be having in a new weight class 25 pounds up. Still, I expect Benavidez’s shots to find the mark like they tend to.
>>
>>154471021
I have a skewed bias towards Zurdo, particularly due to guys here hyping him up for years, Mr Baldi Boys and all that. He just always comes off as a guy that misses the mark. I think Benavidez is simply better, but if Zurdo brings his A game and Benavidez is extra sloppy, maybe it can turn into a real battle of wills. I feel in order to win Zurdo will need to tap in to something he’s yet to show in previous fights rather than going about to me what seems like never leaving second gear. Lukewarm is how I feel about Zurdo, but Im just some fag who doesnt know shit about boxing so naturally you can discard these as the ramblings of a retard

Inoues willingness to step inside a southpaw's foot to land his jab is very interesting
>>
I shouldn't be, but I'm impressed how cautious and responsible inoue is being. He's gotten dropped a lot lately because he's been reckless, but I think he knows who he's fighting today
>>
>>154475626
It's turning up now. This is when an opening is either gonna be forced by Inoue or found by Naka
>>
>>154475501
Pac does that too from a southpaw, good idea if you are fast with your feet and good with angles
>>
Feel like it's beginning to snowball in Inoues favor
>>
>>154475739
It looks like those jabs are starting to become a problem for Naka
>>
Really wish the ref spoke Japanese. Don't know how well Inoue knows English
>>
Horrible luck for naka. It was just going his way
>>
Inoue needs to do something now. He can't let Naka have these last few rounds and he's landing more and more
>>
Good combo from inoue at the end. Man that cut fucked Junto up
>>
Yeah Inoue by decision. Luckily there wasn't enough drama for a rematch, so we can get some of the dream fights we want with inoue
>>
Great learning experience from Junto
>>
116-112 x2
115-113
Fair, probably would have have the same
>>
Ideally, David Zurdo is the complete opposite where both guys are throwing caution to the wind and exchanging in the middle of the ring, but I'm a realist
>>
When Nakatani pressed starting round 8 it took a round and a half for Inoue for figure him out. If Nakatani started firing earlier he might've been gassed by mid fight and possibly stopped. Not on the same level really
>>
>>154478022
Yeah, experience was big this fight
>>
They're saying Junto suffered an orbital fracture, and I think I know the round. It was probably when he was going on the backfoot throwing nothing. I think I saw him cover one of his eyes like Inoue did once
>>
I was way more impressed with Inoue this morning than I really should have been. Fought a good puncher who wasn't afraid of him in the slightest and took care of business as always. I was convinced Inoue wouldn't fix his defensive problem, but he knew to lock in against a puncher. Are we gonna rotate Usyk and Inoue between 1 and 2 on the p4p like we did with them and Bud lol?
>>
Anyone saying this fight was boring is probably a casual or an mma fan
>>
>>154479876
I thought it might have been one of the vicious uppercuts late rounds, similar one to Canelo breaking Saunders
>>
>>154481288
It might've happened that round. I just remember Junto going defensive and putting his hand over his left eye. I thought the cut was bothering him, but he may have been seeing double
>>
Spence vs Tim is going to happen at a 158lb catch weight. Wow
>>
so whats next for inoue?
what do you want him to do?
>>
>>154482400
If he can move up to 126, there's a lot of western stars he can fight. Inoue has been humanized a bit recently, which I believe could encourage future opponents to not be afraid of him. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see Shoe Shoe vs Inoue
>>
>>154482400
Inoue comes to the US for Shu Shu or longer shot with Bam since he said he wants it
>>
>>154476928
Probably not middle of the ring if Benavidez can help it, he wants all his opponents on the ropes. Yarde found most of his success although little in the center
>>
>>154483786
I really like bam but I feel like the guy is being reckless, with that said I wouldnt mind the bam fight as long as is the next one for inoue
>>
Prelims are live now
>>
This kid is not as good as they're making him out to be
>>
>>154483952
I got to favor Inoue heavily if that fight happens. Bam is insanely talented but Inoue is a big step up at this point in Bam's career, nevermind the weight. Bam would have to pull off a legendary passing the baton type of fight
>>
Not the best 2nd fight for Capetillo, but also, this was a very good 2nd fight for the kid. He didn't look good, but it's good to suffer early against lesser opposition

He ruled it a slip initially, then changed his mind. He probably had the rest of the rounds in his mind and didn't want to have a death on his hands. Wrong call totally, but he's gotta sleep at night

Fierro finding success with his uppercuts. Duarte's is leaning too low into his high guard making him easy target for uppercut and overhands

Temple shots are so crazy. He could take his shots on the chin, but that temple... I wonder if he'll recover in time
>>
Damn Fierro is landing a lot of shots now
>>
>>154490126
Duarte is so fucking flatfoot, holy shit. He's literally there to be hit
>>
Is everyone in David's room?
>>
>>154490169
After watching films of Benavidez which I think is one of the best pressure fighters, Duarte's front footed style by comparison is not nearly as efficient. Duarte doesn't incorporate any defense or feints, just pushes forward, giving his opponents opportunities to land. If you watch Benavidez versus Yarde a lot of times Benavidez forces Yarde into the ropes without even landing. Safer offense through responsible defense
>>
>>154490328
Hes only gotten this far because of his power. Not even aggressive like Issac Cruz. Hitch fucked up not getting him on his resume. Very easy win for him
>>
Duarte has nothing but combos, and even then he stops throwing for a full second to... Catch his breath? What a joke

Very likely, when Resendiz was on his bike ready to go, Munguia didn't go for the kill, maybe because he was already so tired he couldn't chase him. Then Resendiz cracked him during one of those sloppy combos

Well, Zurdo was almost doing well that round
>>
Zurdo doing much better but Benavidez is still blitzing him with short punches and combos. Man Benavidez hates going backwards
>>
>>154491651
He’s willing to be the bigger man. He’s letting his hands go, but Benavidez makes another strong statement at the end of the round. Better from Zurdo, he has a chance…to get kayo’d if he keeps taking hits like that
>>
I wonder if the judges are giving round 2 and 3 to Zurdo. David looks... Off when Zurdo gets close
>>
I've never seen Benavidez at this level

>>154491703
Zurdo's success so far is trading and exchanging with Benavidez but like you said he might go lights out if he keeps doing it

Zurdo is willing to eat these shots if he gets a chance to hit Benavidez. He’s not respecting Benavidez’s power as much, and I wonder if he can outmuscle him.

Orbital fracture, most likely. Fucking turdo. FUCK

This is one of the most impressive offensive displays ever. Please move Benavidez up high on the p4p list now.
>>
Fuck it: wilder vs Benavides. Make it happen.
>>
>>154491843
No kidding. Great counter punching too. He just fucked up Zurdo’s eye, he didnt want anymore. Fractured orbital maybe? Immediately grabbed his eye and the swelling was already looking bad. Pretty stellar job from Benavidez, surgical destruction of the bigger man. Timing, accuracy, speed.
>>
>>154491858
The fat fuck can be at like 5 or 6. No higher than that
>>
>>154491891
Who is better: bumabidez or shitkur?

>>154491858
Agreed. P4p lists tend to really favor fighters who can win belts in multiple divisions. This is a good accomplishment for him and he did it in great fashion. Bivol beat him 12-0, Benavidez knocks him out after moving up 25 pounds. Technically it was some high level boxing, props to Benavidez, I never really get the hate beyond him being cocky
>>
>>154491880
Every shot was hard. Benavidez doesn't play. He either feints or sets up by pulling gloves or positioning his opponent and just rips clean, short, fast shots. He doesn't paint, doesn't waste lazy jabs. Every flurry froze Zurdo on the spot. I can't think of a more impressive offensive win for now, maybe Pac vs Hatton, Pac vs Cotto
>>
MONNNNZZZQUAAAAADDD
>>
Canelo is NOT fighting Benavides EVER. I still favor my boy Bivol at 175
>>
>>154491935
>bumabidez or shitkur
...alright, he's higher than shakur on the p4p list.

Shakur is way better technically, but David has demonstrated multiple offensive layers in theoretically challenging circumstances. All Shakur has is retarded tayohfeemo
>>
>>154491949
Id favor Bivol there too. He’s just the perfect boxer and if David has a flaw, it’s his flatfootedness and tendency to lean back which Bivol would capitalize on.

Cue Benavidez motioning “c’mon man quit running!” He will struggle against a mobile sliccster at the top of his game like Bivol. If Beterbiev couldnt do it, I dont see Benavidez doing it. Zurdo is slow and there to be hit. Benavidez at least has long arms, but Bivol is just the better athlete, mind, and mover. Probably faster too.
>>
>>154491949
Very tough night for Bivol, but he could do it with extreme discipline. Bivol can't win on defense alone, like he learned against Beterbiev 1. So Bivol has to punch, and Benavidez will exchange with Bivol, he will be one of the fastest fighters Bivol has faced.
>>
>>154491998
>“c’mon man quit running!”
I can see that shit too lmao. I wanna look at clips of David dealing with (good) out boxers. I know you can find some success pushing him back, but you're walking through glass shards engulfed in flames shot out through a canon when you do that. Wonder how he'd deal with a guy who has great footwork
>>
>>154491989
I think potentially Shakur is a much better boxer but I just dont like his approach. He’s too reserved in the ring and just comes off as scared. I just wish he’d apply more presence rather than this cocky yet extremely low volume stinkers he’s been putting on lately. Teofimo is a good win and yet that retard is extremely inconsistent

Bivol loves his straight punches, which theoretically should beat David's looping punches. David slips sometimes, but he mostly likes the counter hooks from the high guard. I might be blinded by my bias, but I don't know how he'd counter Bivol's straights if he isn't first

>Shakur is way better technically
It's just as impressive to be front foot fighter with Benavidez's tight defense always within punching range and his punch selection picking opponents apart. Plus for all of Shakur's skills, he fights like a bitch to showcase them. He's no Crawford. Don't give me the boxing purist crap either.

Benavidez doesnt like to constantly have to reset because he likes to plant his feet and let off those flurries. I also dont think he’d be able to cut off the ring well against Bivol either. To be fair, fighting Bivol is a nightmare for anyone, but Benavidez’s accuracy would plummet while Bivol resorts to pot shots forcing Benavidez to constantly “reset”, which would get him frustrated.

Benavidez can throw very short effective punches midrange to inside if Bivol lets him close. I favor Benavidez during those exchanges. Bivol has to win from the outside, which he has been doing forever. Plus for my money Morrell still gave Benavidez one his hardest fights, moving and boxing will keep Benavidez at bay but not forever. Bivol had to back up Beterbiev to win the 2nd war which was extremely dangerous, he'll have to do the same with Benavidez

>potentially Shakur is a much better boxer but I just dont like his approach
Even if you ignore his super defense-focused approach, how can we prove he's a great boxer? He's calling out Benn and Ryan at catch weights and avoiding his buddies. David and Bud have shown us that skills > weight. When you're good enough, jumping 7lbs from 140 is nothing, yet he doesn't want to do that. I wonder if he lacks confidence in his ability to handle massive punchers at their best. It would explain his performance against Santos. That fear would suggest you aren't as great as you seem

Triple G? More like triple B (Bivol, Beterbiev, Benavidez). Please clap.

I'm mainly looking at David's poor backfoot fighting and feet in general. Plus his stance is amateurish and his defense is basic, though very effective. He gets very far because of his confidence, natural speed, and offensive skills. That being said, Shakur is still better fundamentally (might be the better word) imo

I'm pretty sure David can cut off the ring. He's kinda wide lol. I might be thinking of vs Plant, but Plant isn't like Bivol
>>
>>154492140
Yeah on that I can agree. Benavidez does not like fighting on the back foot. Motherfucker would rather lean back like the matrix to avoid taking a step back. I hope he doesn't any ideas to try to learn how to get better feet, just maul people and that's enough.

I think David is taller, so Bivol would have to get closer to land his straights anyway. I'm interested to see what Team Bivol comes up with

Good points, this would definitely prove to be one of the tougher fights in his career, but honestly I still consider Beterbiev the stronger more experienced boxer compared to Benavidez. Styles make fights and they have different proportions but when Bivol “trades” it never really seems like a fair exchange fir the other guy. He has a way of negating the opponents damage. I dont see Benavidez landing flurries against Bivol, but maybe part of one. Bivol will reposition if it’s not favorable for him. He will look for opportunities when Benavidez would be too slow or in a weird position to fire back, such as Benavidez leaning backwards rather than using his footwork. Bivol will make you pay for movement like that. Betebiev never leaned. Had underrated footwork and a tight guard while being just as destructive of a force, and in my opinion Bivol dismantled him, albeit with some major risk involved. “He has to be perfect all night” and he usually is. Bivol is one of the fighters who is built like a well oiled machine. Yes Benavidez is fast, but I still favor Bivol’s boxing ability here. He’s not gonna get into these reckless exchanges. He will constantly change angles and never allow David to get comfortable to where he can load up or land multiple shots. A battle of jabs and pot shots, with Bivol letting 2 or 3 go when he knows Benavidez cant fire back. Benavidez will throw flurries with 90% being blocked or evaded. Bivol is the master of patience, he will drag the fight out.

And this type of leaning crap will allow Bivol to push forward and knock him down, not with power but just causing Benavidez to lose balance. It’s a really bad habit and Bivol WILL punish him for that, it stood out to me as the major red flag for this fight in an otherwise great performance. Zurdo was too slow to capitalize on those moments, but Bivol and his team will be waiting for that moment to strike

Bivol is a far better mover than Plant come on now. Just look at how Canelo dealt with each guy. He eventually caught Plant whereas Bivol bullied him. Only Beterbiev in my opinion was capable of cutting off the ring with his great generalship and positioning, but even he couldnt corral him properly. Blame it on the old legs but Bivol is nearly impossible to pin down, I dont care how good you are. Genuinely some of the best footwork in the sport and that is NOT david’s strength
