David Benavidez: The new boxing face after Canelo autumn

Sergio Mora says he considers David Benavidez as the new “boxing face” now, after Canelo Alvarez was beaten by Terence Crawford last weekend. Mora points out that Benavidez (30-0, 24 kos) is young at the age of 28, without showing signs of rings clothing and has the size, speed and power to be the next face of the sport.

In the last two fights in Benavidez, he has passed a first champion of David Morrell and the old WBC heavy weight champion, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, winning a couple of unanimous 12 -round decisions. He did not run around the ring as Crawford did against Canelo and made it seem ugly.

“The Mexican monster,” Benavidez struck the two fighters and this was not easy. He was still ready to stay in the trenches and trade with Morrell and Gvozdyk.

Mora unites the new King of Boxing

“David Benavidez. He is 28 years old and does not show signs of wear. He is an exciting fighter,” the Mexican monster, “Sergio Mora told Chris Mannix’s canal When asked who is the next “boxing face” after Terence Crawford. “I think he can be the next boy at the top for a long time.”

Mora shook his head when Mannix said that Crawford is currently the “boxing face” after his victory over Canelo Alvarez. He made it clear that he does not consider Terence as the new “face” after this victory. Could be right.

The criteria for the upper boxing star

Become the “boxing face” that sport takes more than defeating the previous one. Requires these things:

1. Keeping –S active: Benavidez has won Crawford in this department. “The Mexican monster” fights twice a year, while Crawford has constantly fought since 2020.
2. Fighting the best: Not the oldest fighters who are re -collected when they are vulnerable and separated by car accidents.
3. Possessing a style of all action: We saw Crawford using a lot of movement in his fight against Canelo and Israil Madrimov, which made the two contests dark. Benavidez, on the other hand, comes to the war against David Morrell on February 1, 2025. Before that, he had a battle equally entertaining against Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15 last year.

“It has the perfect mix of speed and power. It is so rare, especially from this height of 6’2”, and has long arms. She really is a monster. I see no one who beats him. So, Benavidez is the future, “said Mora.

A collision course with Beterbiev

If there is any doubt that Benavidez has taken over as “boxing face”, he will erase that if Artur Beeterbiev Io Dmitry Bivol defeats. Benavidez defends his heavy weight title of WBC against Anthony Yarde on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

If you win this struggle, a confrontation against Beterbiev is a possibility. The former 175-pound champion, beterbiev, fights against the burial of Benavidez-Yarde against Nicholson. Beterbiev and Benavidez are already struggling with each other, if they win their fights on November 22.
