Each week right here at FightHype, we make some area for an excellent, old style written phrase cash shot from the depths of my bulbous, bulging (mail) sack. So, prepare for a few of that notorious Magno-rific gooey, salty, typically NSFW reality. This week, we’ve feedback/questions relating to David Benavidez, PBC, and that Garcia/Haney/Teofimo promotion.
David Benavidez, Frozen Out Once more?
Hey Paul,
Over time I’ve grow to be a fan of David Benavidez. Whereas he is not good, I’m impressed with the way in which he has performed himself over the previous couple of years. Most of all as a result of he did not proceed to attend round on Canelo. As an alternative, he’s attempting to carve his personal path to superstardom. I do consider he earned the chance although. It simply irks me {that a} man like Edgar Berlanga was handed a combat with Canelo with out doing completely nothing. Now he (Berlanga) has the audacity to suppose that he is on a degree the place he can choose and select who he fights. This man thinks that as a result of he survived not being knocked out by Canelo, he has earned the precise to name pictures!!! GTFOH!
My apologies, this e mail was suppose to be about DB.
Simply need to know your ideas on in case you suppose the sunshine heavies are going to attempt to freeze Benavidez out? I hope not as a result of he’s doing all the pieces that we search for in a fighter to show he’s one of the best. It might be a disgrace if he does not get to combat at the least Bivol or Beterbiev. If he cannot get a type of guys, the place does he go from right here?

Hey Reggie.
I’m beginning to get the sensation that Benavidez will likely be saved out of attain at mild heavyweight, simply as he was at tremendous middleweight. Except he indicators on with Riyadh season to some extent, why would the Saudis and their promotional enablers need a combat that would see their strangle maintain on 175 finish immediately? It makes no enterprise sense for them as they formally start their very own promotion/league/boxing firm. The blame will likely be dumped at Benavidez’s ft, after all, as a result of he’s a PBC man. However, as you stated, the man is doing all the pieces proper. It gained’t be his fault if he will get frozen out of his second straight division.
PBC?
Hey Paul.
I’ve been enthusiastic about this Turki transfer on boxing and the way all the pieces appears to be shifting in that route. The one holdout appears to be the PBC, I do know a few of their fighters have fought on Turki playing cards, however I don’t see them working so carefully with them like the opposite promoters do. That bought me enthusiastic about what their plan could also be. Might they’ve one thing up their sleeves or are they only holding on to see how all this performs out? What’s your feeling on PBC and their future?
— Clyde
Hey Clyde.
Truthfully? I don’t suppose there’s any type of grasp plan. PBC is simply attempting to carry on and keep afloat. At the very least that’s the way it seems to be proper now. At this second, they’ve Tank Davis, David Benavidez, and a small handful of different names. However, more and more, PBC might want to take care of Saudi-aligned fighters to make a number of the larger, higher potential bouts for his or her roster. That’s after we’ll see if the mutual loyalty between PBC and its fighters holds collectively or if the fighters, who’ve a better diploma of independence than most athletes working with boxing firms, will merely drift off to the place they suppose the grass will likely be greener.
Scum Fest, Introduced To You By Ring Journal
Hello Paul.
I don’t have a query, I simply need to categorical my unmitigated disgust with the way in which this Ryan Garcia/Devin Haney/Teofimo Lopez card has been promoted and what’s gone down in boxing’s title with the total assist of Turki’s Ring Journal.
Ryan Garcia is a PEDs cheat who has stated probably the most vile and racist issues with out ever getting any actual blowback. Teofimo Lopez has gleefully made racist comment after racist comment and he continues to smugly embrace race baiting. Then, these guys all hobnob with rapist/intercourse trafficker/racist/scumbag Andrew Tate whereas passing alongside the photographs prefer it’s a promotional promoting level.
What’s been occurring within the title of promotion for this card is nauseating and what makes it worse is that Ring Journal, our oldest and beforehand most prestigious journalistic outlet, is getting used to legitimize all this rubbish.
I used to be on the fence about Turki and the Saudi Arabian affect in boxing earlier than, however this has pushed me far into the opposition class. Evidently, I gained’t be shopping for this present.
— John from NY
Hey John.
I’ve nothing so as to add. You stated it completely. Simply usually, boxing has been manner too permissive of racist speak and habits. This card particularly options two of the worst latest culprits on the subject of that– Garcia and Teofimo. There simply appears to be zero fucks given concerning the promotion of this card. Ring Journal and the Saudis are simply attempting to push this one on the market and get these guys again to Riyadh for the winner bracket fights. I don’t make a behavior of clutching pearls, however there could possibly be at the least SOME decorum and sophistication.
