“cleared to punch” by October 7th? So what? Fight by February-march probably? Against an interim defense?
Kinda slows any momentum he had going there waiting on a fucking tune up
Well to me it would seem he'd have to take a fight in the mean time anyway as Bivol vs Beterbiev has a rematch clause and if they split then a third fight would happen so it's not that big a deal.

If this is a PPV, better have one hell of a co-main and undercard. Can't think of many 175 dance partners PBC has signed for David that warrant a ppv main event.
Fearless ‘Hot Rod’ Kalajdzic targets David Benavidez for December
There were plenty who, after he fought David Morrell, felt they would be condemning Radivoje Kalajdzic to the scrapheap. Although the 29-3 (21 KOs) “Hot Rod” had been stopped just once before, by Artur Beterbiev, and had won his last five, Cuban hotshot Morrell was one of the high-risk...

Since an Alvarez fight is unlikely to happen Morrell is pretty much the only opponent I do care about for Benavidez at the moment, no matter if they fight at 168 or 175. I don't see him cause much trouble to either Beterbiev or Bivol with this kind of physicality at 175.

honestly, i'd much prefer they fight at 168 and stay there. neither is small, but i imagine beterbiev snaps benavidez like a twig, and i don't think morrell has the durability to last with artur. and bivol just boxes their ears off.
at 168 either one of them could be king, and look good.
