Andrade: Canelo, keep away from Benavidez! – Boxing Information 24

Demetrius Andrade warns Canelo Alvarez to keep away from his former conqueror, David Benavidez, after dropping to him by sixth-round stoppage in 2023. Andrade thinks Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) is simply too massive and throws too many combos for Canelo can defeat him.

It is comprehensible why Demetrius tries to make Benavidez invincible, because it lessens the affect of his defeat in opposition to him. He took a blow to his ego on this struggle, struggling his first profession defeat. So he tries to guard his ego by making Benavidez appear to be he is an distinctive expertise when in actuality, that is not the case.

Benavidez’s subsequent opponent

We noticed it in his struggle in opposition to the 37-year-old Alexander Gvozdyk on June 15. Gvozdyk had simply come out of a four-year retirement and had overwhelmed Benavidez, placing all types of bumps on his face.

Canelo hasn’t talked about eager to struggle “The Mexican Monster” Benavidez, and the 2 fighters now face one another in numerous weight lessons. Benavidez, 28, fights at mild heavyweight and can problem common WBA 175-pound champion David Morrell in 33 Days on February 1 on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas.

If Benavidez loses this struggle by knockout, he may return to the 168-pound division if he could make weight once more. There could be no level in him staying at 175 if Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) destroys him. Morrell is as massive as Benavidez however sooner, hits tougher, youthful and has higher technical expertise.

There is a good likelihood Morrell wins this struggle and takes care of Canelo’s drawback for good, however he would not need assistance. Andrade, 36, could also be impressed with Benavidez’s offensive expertise, however he is not a knockout hitter. He could not even cease Caleb Plant.

The one motive he stopped Andrade is due to his dimension and youth benefit. He was 26 years previous when he defeated Demetrius final 12 months, on November 25.

Do not do it !

“I do not suppose Canelo beats David [Benavidez]. I do not blame him for not combating David. Canelo, steer clear of David. Don’t do it,” Demetrius Andrade instructed Fight Hub TV. “I’m taller and longer than Canelo. I do not know if Canelo [can beat Benavidez]. He is a giant boy.

“You must have the fitting expertise, motion, IQ and sharpness to beat David, until David fights the following greatest man at 175 will probably be a special story. However at 168, that is how you need to be to beat him.

“Canelo is smaller than me, and I used to be capable of push David for a couple of rounds and do what I needed to do. However that weight and his size, and he is aware of how one can throw punches in bunches, it should be a tough job for Canelo.

“David just isn’t somebody who’s going to desert you both. Canelo doesn’t beat him,” Andrade mentioned of his perception that Benavidez can’t be overwhelmed by Alvarez.

Canelo reportedly fought Benavidez earlier than, however he talked a lot crap and got here throughout as needy. The best way Benavidez appeared obsessive about Alvarez is creepy, virtually stalker-like. For a preferred fighter to appear so obsessive about the way in which Benavidez offered himself, he would ignore that as nicely.
