Benavidez clan predicts knockouts

Former two-time super middleweight world champion David “El Monstruo” Benavidez and order brother Jose Benavidez Jr. previewed their upcoming clashes during a media workout Thursday as the brothers near their respective Showtime PPV matchups on November 25 from Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Here is what the Phoenix-born brothers, along with their father and trainer Jose Benavidez Sr., had to say Thursday from the Benavidez Sports Boxing Gym in the Seattle area:

David Benavidez: “I do expect to stop Andrade. I’ve been working extremely hard. My last fight went the distance and I was upset about that. We’re gonna correct the current and stop Demetrius Andrade…there are a lot of things Andrade does well, but I see weaknesses as well. We’re gonna put a great game plan together and expose him on November 25.”

Jose Benavidez Jr: “There are a lot of doubters. There’s always gonna be doubters. Come November 25, I shut them all up and prove to the world that I belong here…I said what I had to say to Charlo. I’m gonna always speak my mind. If he can’t take the heat, choose another sport.”

Jose Benavidez Sr: “David is gonna stop Andrade around the eighth or ninth round and I think Jose will get a stoppage around the sixth or seventh…Charlo made a big mistake choosing Jose Jr.”

IBF strips Crawford, Ennis new welter champ

The IBF now lists Jaron “Boots” Ennis as the sole welterweight champion in their new ratings. Ennis was previously the interim champion behind Terence “Bud” Crawford, who claimed the WBC, WBA and IBF belts three months ago against Errol Spence Jr. With that win, Crawford became the undisputed champion in two weight divisions. That distinction, however, was short-lived. With Crawford committed to a rematch with Spence, possibly out of the division, the IBF elevated Ennis.

Great closing of the year for boxing

By Mauricio Sulaimán
President of the WBC – Son of José Sulaimán

This past November 1st we celebrated, in New York City , the centennial anniversary of the Jack Dempsey vs. Luis Ángel Firpo which took place at the famous Polo Grounds, a stadium where the Yankees won 15 World Series, the Giants three American football championships, and more than 50 hall of fame boxers fought and had a nights of glory.

I had the great honor of meeting and spending time with Joseph Halperin, who is the grandson of one of the most important promoters in the history of our sport: Tex Rickard.

Rickard promoted all the big fights in the United States in the first quarter of the 1900’s often building stadiums just for the fight, such as Jack Johnson vs. Jeffries, or with Jack Dempsey in many occasions and many more until his untimely death, at age 56. He was the one who paved the way for subsequent generations of promoters to this day. Continue reading “Great closing of the year for boxing”
