Via Sean Jones: David Benavidez is cheering for Gennadiy Golovkin to beat Canelo Alvarez in September in the third and presumably final match of their trio.
Canelo (57-1-2, 39 KOs) still needs to beat WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol on May 7 for a trio with Golovkin to materialize in September.
Unfortunately for fans, Bivol was able to destroy the Canelo-Golovkin III trio by defeating Canelo. Bivol has all the tools to beat Canelo, worse than Floyd Mayweather did.
Contrary to the opinion of many boxing fans that 40-year-old Golovkin has no chance against Canelo in the third match, Benavidez believes Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) will solve the problem for him. Mexican star just like he did in the match. their first two fights.
Fans who witnessed Golovkin make it 2-0 after two games against Canelo, believe he was robbed by the Las Vegas umpires both times.
In a move that some have suggested that 31-year-old Canelo is trying to increase his chances of winning a third match against GGG, he waited four years until Golovkin turned 40 before agreeing to a rematch. with him.
During Golovkin’s match last weekend against Japanese star Ryota Murata in Saitama, Japan, he had problems with his body pressure and the pressure was on him during the first four innings.
In recognition of his credit, Golovkin turned the game around in the sixth round when he lowered his right arm with a sledgehammer into Murata’s jaw, sending his mouth flying.
That hit took away all of Murata’s fighting, causing him to retreat for the rest of the competition until he was finished off by Golovkin in ninth.
“He looks really good. Golovkin will always be Golovkin,” David Benavidez told Fight Hub TV when asked for his thoughts on Golovkin’s ninth knockout win last Saturday over Ryota Murata in Japan.
“He took a little photo [from Murata]but I don’t know if the sublimation in Japan has confused him, especially at his age,” Benavidez continued on Golovkin, commenting on his slow performance before WBA middleweight champion Murata in Saitama, Japan.
“He looks great, man. I think he took some good pictures, but he took some great ones. He got in there and got the job done.
“I think he will always be one of those types of warriors will have Canelo’s card,Benavidez said when asked if Canelo would destroy 40-year-old Golovkin following the way GGG struggled early against Murata last weekend.
“I don’t think he’s going to be as bad as people say, but that’s for those men to find out,” said Benavidez in the Canelo vs. Golovkin in September.
“It will be a great fight. I will definitely side with Golovkin, no matter what. I’m rooting for Golovkin. Golovkin is one of my favorite boxers.
“He’s one of my favorites, he’s a nice guy, so I’ll always support him,” Benavidez said.
