Today, the father/coach Jose Benavidez Sr. of current WBC super-middleweight transition boxer David Benavidez (26-0, 23KO) told the media that he now hates Sur Avarez (57-2-2, 39KO). Avarez recently told the media that he would not come down to play against his fellow Mexicans for fear of hurting national feelings, which blocked gilberto Ramirez (44-0, 30KO), David Benavidez and others. Although David Benavidez is now a U.S. citizen, he is of Mexican descent.
The elder Benavidez said: "I have never heard of a boxer saying such a thing. The greatest of the Mexican boxers, in my opinion, is Chavez Sr. (107-6-2, 86KO), who has beaten masters all over the world, including blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and other nationalities. Now Avarez has gone so far as to say that he doesn't want to fight the Mexicans. Avarez said that even if Ramirez beat Biver (20-0, 11KO), he would not choose Ramirez. Now I don't have the slightest respect for Avarez, as a boxer you should be playing against people all over the world, nationality doesn't matter. If Avarez feels like he can't beat David Benavidez, why not just talk to me. If my son had been a simple adversary to Avarez, he would never have said that. Avarez knew david was stronger, taller, and hungrier than he was. ”
The elder Benavidez continued: "I used to respect Avarez, but after he lost to Biwall, I don't think I should be in the P4P list, but I recognize him as a dangerous opponent. We are not afraid of Avarez and are willing to bet on an unbeaten record, but Avarez is afraid to accept the David Benavidez challenge. Because Avarez knew that losing to Beavour wouldn't have much of an impact, but losing to David would make David a superstar, and he was waiting to be forgotten. I think so. ”
Author's note: Avarez played with many Mexican compatriots early in his career, and in May 2017, he also beat Chavez Jr., and theoretically did not exclude playing with his mexican compatriots. For David Benavidez, Gilberto Ramirez may be Avarez is indeed a little jealous, these two people are young and strong, tall and strong, have a beautiful stab punch, heavy punch is very powerful, at 168-175 pounds are hard weight waiting for Avarez to give them a chance, Avarez's height of 1 meter 73 is not easy to deal with these two people. Therefore, it is not excluded that Avarez did use the Mexican national plot as a shield to avoid the two compatriots.
