David Benavidez believes famous person Canelo Alvarez was “mocking” him when he invited him contained in the ring after his victory final month towards Jaime Munguia on Could 4th on the T-Cellular Area in Las Vegas.
Ringside Safety: A Preemptive Measure
Moments after his win, undisputed tremendous middleweight champion Canelo regarded over at Benavidez within the crowd, smiled, and invited him contained in the ring. Nonetheless, a safety individual was standing immediately in entrance of the ring, wanting straight at Benavidez, and it was apparent why he was there.
It was to forestall Benavidez from trying to enter the ring to make the most of the cameras and the followers to name out Canelo to place extra stress on him.
Had Benavidez tried to hurry the ring, it’s affordable to imagine the safety employees would have converged on him, and it will have been an unsightly scene.
Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) nonetheless believes Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) will finally combat him, and he says that after he beats him, there might be a rematch. In his thoughts, that’s the place the massive cash would are available in for Benavidez.
He believes somebody will provide you with the $200 million asking worth for Canelo to make the combat doable.
A Calculated Transfer by Canelo?
“It wasn’t aggressive. It might have been greater than that, however I believe he was simply mocking me to return in,” mentioned David Benavidez to ESNEWS about Canelo Alvarez inviting him into the ring after his victory towards Jaime Munguia on Could 4th in Las Vegas.
Given how obsessed Benavidez has appeared about eager to combat Canelo, you’ll be able to’t blame the famous person for being a bit cautious of combating him. Even when Canelo believes he’ll win, having somebody obsessed is disturbing.
We’ve seen how Benavidez has finished the identical factor with David Morrell Jr, who has known as him out repeatedly, and he gained’t give the man the time of day.
“I nonetheless wish to be respectful. I wouldn’t need him coming into the ring after one among my fights. I’d most likely slap the s*** out of him. Hell, no, he wouldn’t have finished s*** to me, however they wouldn’t have let me in in any case,” mentioned Benavidez when requested if Canelo would have slapped him if he got here into the ring after his combat with Munguia.
Until Canelo had spoken to Benavidez earlier than the combat about him entertaining the ring, it will have been a mistake for him to try to enter the ring after the combat nonchalantly.
I might see a situation through which Benavidez would have been tackled by three or 4 burly safety employees, handcuffed, and brought out of the sector kicking and screaming, wanting like a madman. That will have performed into the idea many boxing followers have about Benavidez being an obsessed stalker.
The $200 Million Roadblock
“This combat is large. He ought to be thanking me as a result of I don’t see him asking for $200 million for anyone else, and the trustworthy fact is he would possibly get the $200 million,” mentioned Benavidez about Canelo’s asking worth of $200M for a combat towards him.”
I don’t see anybody, not even the Saudis, developing with Canelo’s $200 million asking worth for a combat towards Benavidez. That’s too costly as a result of Benavidez shouldn’t be a worldwide star to the place the Saudis could be keen to pay Canelo $200M.
“I simply need the chance to beat him after which the rematch as a result of he’ll rematch me after I beat his a**,” mentioned Benavidez. “Then that’s the place I earn money. However I really feel like this combat is getting nearer and nearer. It’s too large to go away on the desk. All people needs to see this combat. I’m getting higher.”
It’s a mistake for Benavidez to be wanting previous his subsequent opponent, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, on June fifteenth as a result of it’s not a on condition that he’ll win that combat. Gvozdyk is well the very best fighter Benavidez may have confronted, and he’s greater and stronger than him.
“That is going to be the one combat that folks wish to see,” mentioned Benavidez a few match between him and Canelo.
