Jose Benavidez Sr spent some time talking to Fight Hub TV following his son’s thrashing of Zurdo Ramirez over the weekend. During the conversation Benavidez would explain how impressed he is by his son’s performance and why he thinks there’s very few who could challenge David Benavidez at his current form. Here’s some of what he had to say below.

Benavidez Sr on his son targeting Dmitry Bivol

“It’s a tough fight. Bivol is a great fighter. He beat Zurdo Ramirez, he beat Canelo Alvarez, he beat a lot of good fighters. He’s a dangerous fighter, but David’s crazy. David’s not a human. He don’t want no tune-up, he don’t want easy fights. He wants the big boys, he wants the guys that are going to challenge him and it’ll bring danger. He wants to prove to people he’s the best and he will prove it and look badass with these guys.
