DAVID BENAVIDEZ vs OLEKSANDR GVOZDYK: WBC "interim" light-heavyweight title PREVIEW and PREDICTION.

[@michaelthompson6885]

This will be fun! good take as always Joe many thanks.

[@nixob1]

Joe is a great commentator, I don't understand why he doesn't get more veiws. It seems like he really knows boxing. He reminds me of a good friend of mine Johnny Boz who was a walking boxing encyclopedia.

This is a great fight completely forgot this was on this weekend thank you for the reminder

[@modernguitarist1992]

I am cheering for Gvodzyk (the g in his name is silent) but i think Benavidez decisions him. I hope Gvozdyk can last the distance, i would hate to see such a talented guy lose twice by TKO. He showed a lot of guts fighting Beterbiev when many would have ducked Beterbiev.

[@barrylilley6392]

Great vid Joe 🙌 Think David is in for a surprise

[@alexb292]

Prime gvodzyk schools benavidez. I honestly think he’d have battered him. Still think he will give benavidez trouble now, but won’t have the legs any more and will probably get stopped late or lose on points

[@nixob1]

Has anybody seen Benavides mid section? Looks like he doesn't have any abbs. Like he has a thin mid section with muscle. Key to beating Benavides is concentrating stricktly in the mid-section.

[@nixob1]

Thin mid-section withpout muscle, I meant.

[@nixob1]

Good assesment

[@edarowan7388]

He buckled him joe its an interesting fight i like David B he's not the most technical but his energy and punches in bunches is excellent really want to se how he gets on up there

[@Boxer8998]

Upsets always happen in boxing: Haney vs. Garcia Lubin vs. Ramos Berenchyk vs. Navarrete Usyk vs. Fury Fundora vs. Tszyu I always bet on good boxers, but they are underdogs. I make decent money with them. I hate boxing pundits who don't give credit to those very skilled underdog boxers.

The Nail.

[@nixob1]

Hey Joe, (there again, (song by Jimmie Hendrix pops in my mind again) Did you ever meet Johnny Boz? He was the Madison Square Garden's matchmaker for the longest time. He made most of Mike Tyson's fights in Mike's early career. Johnny was a Boxing historian like you, a walking encyclopedia. I miss the man. I'll start listening to you more often

[@joestunnerboxing]

No, I never met him, but he knew a lot more about boxing than most, including me.

[@RESISTANCERECOVERY]

Benavidez will be even better at 175. Some close rounds but it’ll be more of the same. Benavidez gets stronger as the fight progresses - 10th round stoppage

[@nixob1]

Benavides does not hold back on the volume of punches.

[@Boxer8998]

Finally, this poor, overhyped Ecuadorian got his match. Gvozdyk is a very good technical boxer, a former bronze Olympic medalist, and a former world champion. His only loss was to the monster Beterbiev. He went on to win 10-round fights. Trust me, Benavidez will be in trouble in this fight. He doesn't have the power to stop this Ukrainian

[@nixob1]

You really don't know what you are talking about when you say this Ecuadorian don't have the power to hurt the Ukraneian. Number one Benavides is a Mexican born in the USA. NUmber two, if he has anything going for him, it is power.

[@Boxer8998]

@@nixob1 his mother is Ecuadorian dude he went on life and death with gavril. struggling against bum opposition got knockdown in round 12 😂😂 gvozdyk will filinish his career in boxing

[@Boxer8998]

@@nixob1 Trust me THIS IS A MATCH MISTAKE BY PBC-, Benavidez will get destroyed in this fight. Gvozdyk is a natural 175-pounder with power and is a very technical fighter. His only loss was to Beterbiev. Benavidez is not a one-punch knockout boxer. It's the accumulation of punches that makes him look good and allows him to knock out his opponents. He is a weight bully, and his power will not be enough at 175 pounds

[@T3akkeydhd]

@@nixob1in fairness though, how does the power translate at this weight class? Because I wouldn’t class him a a devastating puncher at 168 if we’re being honest.

[@REALMEXREV]

Are we talking about the same Gvodyk that Benavidez destroyed in sparring. Pull up the youtube video of him admitting it at Robert Garcia gym.

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

Only Beterbiev's suspicious strength/power levels got him past Gvodzyk.

[@MrMoralTurpitude]

The truth is out there

[@Boxer8998]

This is boxing; it's part of the game. You suffered a defeat. Even Pacquiao, brutally knocked out by Marquez, came back and dominated his opponents. l'm not impressed with Benavidez. He's a weight bully fighting bum, small opponents. I've watched his previous fights. He doesn't have real one-punch knockout power. It's just the activity, the accumulation of punches that make him finish his opponents. Nothing special, flat-footed with no head movement. Trust me; this is the end of Benavidez.

[@remonimodexd7116]

I agree a prime gvodzyk schools benavidez however…he took a 3 yr retirement! His comeback fights he has looked very slow also

If godvykz that fought beterbiev he beats David benavidez

[@letitiamcculley9311]

I think Gvozdyk is a better boxer than Benavidez. I think Benavidez is going to have his hands full for at least 3/4 of this fight, I think Gvozdyk out boxes him. lol Cocaine use is what went on with Benavidez.

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

3 year layoff though.

[@letitiamcculley9311]

@@RossKempOnYourMum01 True true however I feel Benavidez is a hype job and this might just be the fight to show it. Just my opinion

[@barrylilley6392]

The best version of Gvozdyk is better than the best Benavidez, depends whether Gvozdyks heart is still in it , he got out of boxing for a reason, if he turns up ( he looks terrific) he should win , skill and power to Gvozdyk, youth and speed to Benavidez
