David ‘The Monster’ Benavidez returns to action this weekend in Saudi Arabia but this time up at 175 pounds.
He will fight in a title fight in light-heavyweight looking to defend his newly attained world title against Anthony Yarde of the UK.
He might get a surprise this weekend or shortly after that however.
Sure, he’s sparred light-heavyweights before but fighting at the highest level at light-heavyweight is a lot different to sparring.
He gets tagged a lot and sure, he’s shown to be relentless at super-middleweight, but at light-heavyweight he might be surprised how hard they hit with the little gloves.
David Benavidez Might Get A Surprise Shortly
He has shown good durability up to this point in the ring but he can’t keep taking the amount of punches he does at light-heavyweight.
The accumulation of such shots is going to surprise him we think from Anthony Yarde this weekend.
Sure, Anthony Yarde is a big underdog this weekend.
But we think he might surprise David Benavidez in some ways.
People are underestimating Anthony Yarde a lot and he has nothing to lose. The pressure is off.
All the pressure is on David Benavidez this weekend. Piles of piles of pressure on you now David Benavidez, in absolutely all ways as well.
Everyone thinks Benavidez should win this easy, that will suit Anthony Yarde down to the ground.
Here’s the trap Benavidez doesn’t want to fall into this weekend.
