Shakur Stevenson believes that the struggle between a non-classed champion champion Dmitry buffalo and VBA compulsory David Benavidez is now one of the “biggest struggles” that can be made in boxing.
When the buffalo (24-1, 12 Kos) went to Arthur Baberbiev at Riyadh last Saturday night, he inherited his VBC compulsory Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOS), which is a lot of problems due to its great departure, strength, beard, youth and fearlessness.
“Benavidez vs. The buffalo is up there with the best fights that can be made in the box sport,” Shakur Stevenson said to Zvona magazine About the fight she feels is one of the best right now.
Buffalo options
It’s not a surprise that buffalo promoters on Sartsour focus on other struggles for him and it is possible if the world council in the boxer tries to force his hand, the belt will be thrown. In this way, the buffalo can follow the easier fights that will pay well.
Turki Alalshik will decide who the buffalo faces used to do, but Promoter Eddie Hearn has a lot of influence on him for his friendship. If Hearn decides to skip a buffalo benavide forever, he can make it sacrificing a VBC band or ignore it.
VBC allowed popular stays holding years that they do not order them for years to defend the belt. The buffalo is popular enough to bypass his compulsory VBC and fighting whatever he is satisfied, whether Beterbiev, Canelo Alvarez or Callum Smith. These are the great three, which recently mentioned as fighters interested in fights in the buffalo.
What makes it even less likely that benavide will get a chance to fight buffalo is his previous success that spades him so far. He discovered in the interview that he set him on fire with a flat platform of 20 shootings and that he approached nearby to descend. Benavidez says it was then told after the circle that they would no longer be allowed to join Bivol again.
