It will be crucial for Benavidez to avoid becoming too aggressive in his approach towards former two-division world champion Andrade (32-0, 19 KOs), as Andrade possesses enough power to knock him out if he fights recklessly. Benavidez, also known as the “Mexican Monster,” has a reputation for neglecting his defense and being careless in his matches.
Benavidez is dissatisfied with his recent match against Caleb ‘Sweet Hands’ Plant, which lasted the full 12 rounds and resulted in a loss for him. Canelo Alvarez had knocked out Plant in 2021, leading to a disappointing outcome for Benavidez.
Benavidez aims for KO victory
David Benavidez: “I expect to stop Andrade. We lost badly last time, so I was upset about that. We’re going to correct the flow and stop Demetrius Andrade.”
“This is a tough fight, one of the toughest fights of our career. The opponent we are fighting is a two-time Olympian and two-time world champion in two weight classes. , an undefeated fighter, a very skilled fighter, a very clumsy fighter, a fighter who uses his feet very well and is a good defender.”Jose Benavidez Sr. fight hub tvSo, we talked about Demetrius Andrade, who will challenge David Benavidez for the interim WBC super middleweight title on November 25th, in just over two weeks.
“That’s why he’s undefeated. To this day, nobody beats him. Canelo didn’t want to fight him. Nobody wanted to fight him, but we made history and took it to the next level. to go on and show people We are the best at 168, we have to fight them. ”
If Jose Benavidez Sr. wanted David to have the best fight, he should have accepted a fight with David Morrell Jr. when he recently approached him. It’s great to hear Jose Sr.’s bold talk, but it’s a joke if his son doesn’t put his words into action.
“That’s why we’re taking on this challenge. We didn’t have to take this challenge, but we believe this is a great opportunity for us to learn more and get better. . We want to make history,” Jose Sr. said.
Jose Sr. expects Benavidez to be suspended
“To make history, it doesn’t matter how much you lose. To be honest, I don’t intend to lose, but it’s a tough battle. Anything can happen. But I have faith in my heart that David will stop this guy. ”
Even if Benavidez can’t stop Andrade, it probably won’t be a big deal as he has never been knocked out before and has better wheels and a better gas tank than Plant. It may be impossible for Benavidez to knock out Andrade. Because he has never fought an opponent this good and had a hard enough time defeating Plant.
“I’m very confident he’ll do a good job,” Jose Sr. said. “We’re not underestimating Boubou Andrade. He’s a great fighter, but we’re preparing and working hard. They’re very focused on what they want to do. , I think I have determination. That makes my job a lot easier.
“We’ll never get the credit. If we beat this guy, people will start talking. They’ll say he’s old, ‘He’s not what he used to be, David is too big,’ all that stuff. He’ll say things,” Benavidez Sr. said.
Jose Sr. could be in for a big disappointment as Andrade wins the fight and Benavidez is revealed to be another Liam Williams type fighter.
“I believe he is [Andrade] He’s a good fighter, that’s why no one wanted to fight him. We just do our job,” Benavidez Sr. said.
“Some people were talking about David having really bad sparring partners and stuff like that. We brought in a guy named Juan Carlos. He’s under contract with DiBella. He’s an Olympian, He was 175 years old and had 400 amateur fights. Check him out. Juan Carlos from Colombia.
“The guy’s big and he’s an Olympian, so that’s why we brought him in. David was working really well with him, so that gave me confidence that he was going to do well. Then we… brought in Jonathan Garcia, who is 10-0,” Benavidez Sr. said.
