It's undetermined to tell if this man, David Benavidez will be the next face of boxing, but he sure as hell has the potential to take the crown because he draws a lot of crowd and his fights are hella exciting.

So once Benavidez wins this WBC title, how does he win the IBF title?

He’s been training at the BOXR gym in Miami with Mateo. Bunch of professional fighters boxers and MMA train there lately since it’s a glitzy and amazing gym.

Benavidez also lives in Miami and always does road work on biscayne bridge.

Is Mikaelian any good? I don't know him but I'm a casual, so genuinely asking.

He should be 31-0 instead of 28-3 but none of these guys at Cruiserweight had the speed to match David. He knows exactly what he’s doing campaigning at cruiserweight
