Former world champion Paul Malignaggi spoke about the defeat of the Ukrainian boxer in a fight with an American.
Alexander Gvozdyk has no chance against David Benavidez. Opinion of former world champion Paul Malignaggi.
In his opinion, apart from the big age difference between the boxers, the boxing done by an American is not suitable in style for the Ukrainian.
“It’s a tough fight for Benavidez. Gvozdyk is a tough opponent, he’s a very good fighter. He’s a former Olympic bronze medalist, a former WBC champion, a fighter who gave Artur a tough fight Beterbiev.
Gvozdyk finished his career, then came back and had a few fights with not very strong opposition. Even then, at his peak, Alexander had a lot of problems under pressure, despite the fact that he was a very strong boxer and took the title from Adonis Stevenson.
Benavidez created this pressure. Benavidez is a bit quicker on his feet than Beterbiev, but doesn’t hit as hard as Beterbiev at light heavyweight.
Despite the fact that he is 37 years old, Gvozdyk will cause problems for many men. Stylistically, this is a tough fight for him in terms of pressure from Benavidez. It’s like kryptonite for Gvozdyk,” Paulie TV quotes Malignaggi as saying.
We remind you that Alexander Gvozdyk lost to David Benavidez by unanimous decision.
Earlier, Gvozdyk made a prediction for the rematch between Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury.
