De la hoya: bivol vs. Benavides is the fight, not the Betherbiev trilogy

Oscar de la Hoya says she will be physically difficult for Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev if they meet for a three -studio match between them afterwards. He says he would like to see him, but he feels that it will be difficult for both light heavy weights.

De la Hoya favors the undisputed champion Bivol (24-1, 12 CO) to defeat 40-year-old Betherbiev (21-1, 20 CO) because the buffalo has an advantage of youth, speed and movement.

Oscar says he was concerned when he saw Beserbiev wearing two knees within the ring, moving so slowly as as if he were in Quicksand, and lacking the ability to cut the ring. However, Betherbiev was in the match and looked on the knockout path when chasing was around the ring from three rounds to seven.

Benavides: a tough match

De la Hoya says he would like to see an ex fight his compulsory WBC David Benavides, because it would show courage on his part. However, he believes that Benavides (30-0, 24 CO) will beat the buffalo because of his high impact outcome, an intelligence factor and the ability to cut the ring.

The whole movement that buffalo used to win Betherbiev would not work against Benavides. He would chase him and cut him. Buffalo Promoter, Eddie Hearn, doesn't seem to be interested in Benavides for him. Unless he changes his mind, we will probably see a buffalo fight again with Betherbiev or Kalum Smith.

“I think Benavides is quite interesting. I think it's a hell of a fight. If he is ready to be brave, if he is ready to fight Benavides, it would confirm the career of the Bivol's Fame Hall of Fame with sure. He proved to the world that he was the best of 175. It's a hell of a fight. That would be a hell of a route. I would go with Benavides, ” Oscar de la Hoya said to Fight Hub TV Asked who wins between Dmitry Bivol and David Benavides.

“He's more inherent there, he knows how to think and knows how to adapt. I would prefer Benavides (over buffalo). He throws more strokes, he is more active and has better work with legs than Beterbiev, “”

Benavides would be a bad style for the 34-year-old buffalo because he doesn't like to hit and he doesn't stay in his pocket long enough to damage. We saw what a tired Betherbiev did a buffalo in the 12th round of his rematch last Saturday night on February 22, when he suddenly raised the full gas for the first time in the match. He had a buffalo bloody and battered in this circle. He was falling apart from the pressure from Betterbiev. If the buffalo struggles with Benavides, each round would be just like that.

The chances of a rematch of Canelo

“There is no way he can beat a buffalo. There is simply no way. The styles are fighting and as much as I want to see a Mexican victory inside this ring, a national hero, there is no way for him to beat a buffalo, “de la Hoya told Kanello Alvarez that he was unable to avenge his loss to Dithry Bivol.

Buffalo dominated Canello in its battle on May 7, 2022. The size of the buffalo, the combined drilling and the durability were too much for cinnamon. It would now be worse for the Mexican star, because it was going away even faster in its battles and would not make the fuel tank compete for more than two or three rounds.

“I had a buffalo from the beginning. I thought the buffalo knew how to adjust and use his boxing skills and her feet, movement sideways, “de la Hoya told Bivol's rematch with Arthur Beterbiev on February 22nd. “His combinations were ruthless. I just feel that he did a better job.

Trilogy: Physical fee

“His common ring was better. She knew how to cut the ring better and knew how to box better. He deserved to win (against Betherbiev). From back to the back, it's very difficult for the body, “said De la Hoya as he was asked if the buffalo should take the trilogy match with Arthur the next one. “It's very difficult in the mind.

“I do not care about what era you are fighting, whether it is the 50s, 60s of the last century, where they are fighting 30 times a year or fighting today. Three matches back to the back are difficult for the body. They depend on them (Bivol and Beterbiev). They make their decisions. Yes, I would be glad to see a third. Why not?

“I was very concerned about Betherbiev. I was concerned from the beginning because he wore two knee brackets. So, looking at his work, he was very firm. He was very mechanical. He was very slow, something like Quicksand. Like cinnamon inside this ring, very slow, very heavy. It was my concern.

“Bivol began to move from the side and Betherbiev could not close the distance. He followed it too slowly. That's why the buffalo had the upper hand, “said de la Hoya.
