Jose Benavidez Jr: My Leg Is Never Gonna Be A Hundred Percent; Has Rods, Screws In It

Jose Benavidez Jr. knew his unreliable right leg would impact his performance at some point the longer his welterweight title fight against Terence Crawford lasted.
Benavidez noticeably favored that leg, which was damaged during an unsolved shooting in August 2016, in the later rounds of his 12th-round, technical-knockout defeat to the undefeated Crawford in October 2018. The former 147-pound contender hasn’t fought in the nearly three years since Crawford stopped him in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford’s hometown.
The 29-year-old Benavidez’s leg feels “better” now than it did when he encountered Crawford, but the Phoenix native admits it still isn’t quite right as he prepares for his return to the ring November 13.
“I’ll be lying to you if I tell you it’s a hundred percent, because it’s never gonna be a hundred percent,” Benavidez told BoxingScene.com. “I have rods and screws in my leg, but what has been helping me out a lot during my time off is I found a way how I can help myself. I actually came up with my own hemp cream for my leg. It’s a recovery cream. So, I’ve been using that a lot. It’s helping me. Like I said, I’m not gonna sell a lie to anyone and say it made my leg a hundred percent. But I feel like it’s helping me.
“I try not to think about my leg when I fight because if I have a doubt in my head, if I say, ‘Well, what if my leg doesn’t hold up,’ I already beat myself. So, I try to have no doubts. I have no doubts when I go in the ring. All I think about is how I’m gonna win, how I’m gonna tear this guy apart. That’s all I think about.”
Argentina’s Francisco Torres (17-3, 5 KOs) will play the role of “this guy” when Benavidez (27-1, 18 KOs) ends a three-year layoff in a 10-rounder November 13 at Footprint Center, the home arena of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. Showtime will broadcast Benavidez-Torres as the co-feature the same night former WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez (24-0, 21 KOs), Jose’s younger brother, will face Venezuelan veteran Jose Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KOs) in the 12-round main event.
The Benavidez brothers were supposed to be showcased in this event August 28 at the same venue, but it was postponed because David Benavidez tested positive for COVID-19 early in August. His older brother is looking forward to making his debut as a full-fledged junior middleweight on his undercard.
“You know, it feels good to be back on the scene, where I’m fighting,” Jose Benavidez Jr. said. “I never left the scene. I mean, I haven’t fought in three years, but I still went to gyms, still kept working out. But I just feel good, you know, that I’m gonna fight in Phoenix, Arizona, in front of my hometown, and fight alongside my brother. It’s motivating. You know, I can’t wait. There’s gonna be fireworks. There’s gonna be a big bang that night.”

Uzcategui Tests Positive For Banned Substance, Out Of 11/13 Fight With David Benavidez

The David Benavidez-Jose Uzcategui fight apparently was just not meant to be.
BoxingScene.com has learned that Uzcategui has tested positive for a banned substance and has been removed from their November 13 bout. The prohibited substance was not revealed to BoxingScene.com by the time this story was posted Thursday.
Benavidez (24-0, 21 KOs) and Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KOs) were rescheduled to headline a “Showtime Championship Boxing” tripleheader November 13 from Footprint Center in Phoenix, Benavidez’s hometown.
Matchmakers for Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions were in the process Thursday of trying to find a replacement for Uzcategui for a main event that is scheduled to take place two weeks from Saturday night.
The unbeaten Benavidez, a former WBC super middleweight champ, and Venezuela’s Uzcategui, an ex-IBF 168-pound champ, initially were scheduled to box August 28 at Footprint Center. Their 12-round IBF/WBC elimination match was postponed 2½ months early in August because Benavidez contracted COVID-19 and took a few weeks off from training to recover.
Uzcategui, 30, and Benavidez, 24, both are enrolled in the WBC’s “Clean Boxing Program.” The protocols for the WBC’s program are overseen by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, which tested Benavidez and Uzcategui numerous times during their training camps for this ill-fated fight.
Showtime’s telecast November 13 also is set to feature the return of Benavidez’s older brother, Jose Benavidez Jr.
The onetime welterweight contender is scheduled to square off against Argentina’s Francisco Torres (17-3, 5 KOs) in a 10-round junior middleweight match that’ll immediately precede David Benavidez’s bout with an opponent to be determined. Jose Benavidez Jr. (27-1, 18 KOs) will end a three-year layoff versus Torres, as he hasn’t boxed since WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs) stopped him in the 12th round of their title fight in October 2018 at CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawford’s hometown.

kyrone davis about to give david problems, but david should get him by accumulation later in the fight. as skilled as benavidez is offensively, he's pretty slow and easy to hit. at some point you gotta incorporate some defensive strategies but i still would love to see him vs canelo that would be a great offensive fight.

Mayweather Promotions stablemates square off as undefeated “Prince” Rock Myrthil and contender Ladarius “Memphis” Miller meet in an eight-round super lightweight battle topping the non-televised undercard lineup on Saturday, November 13 at Footprint Center in Phoenix in a Premier Boxing Champions event.
The card is headlined by unbeaten, two-time Super Middleweight World Champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavídez against top contender Kyrone “Shut It Down” Davis, live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Tickets for the live event are on sale now and are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.
Fighting out of Los Angeles, California, the 29-year-old Myrthil (17-0, 13 KOs) discovered boxing at age 18, after his family relocated from Haiti to the United States. Following a stellar amateur career, Myrthil made his pro debut in January 2017 with a second-round TKO over Allan Varela in Tijuana, Mexico. In September 2019, he won an eight-round unanimous decision over Jonathan Steele in Las Vegas. The performance caught the eye of Floyd Mayweather, who sat ringside for that bout and ultimately signed Myrthil to his Mayweather Promotions outfit. Most recently, Myrthil outpointed Johnny Rodriguez over eight rounds in February 2020.
Originally from Memphis, Miller (21-2, 6 KOs) now resides in Las Vegas and also fights out of the Mayweather Promotions stable. The 28-year-old veteran’s list of accomplishments includes wins over former champions Jamel Herring and Jezreel Corrales. Miller will look to get back on track after his 12-fight win streak was snapped in his most recent bout, a points loss to unbeaten contender Michel Rivera in October 2020.
Non-televised undercard action will also feature undefeated, 18-year-old prospect Elijah Garcia (8-0, 7 KOs) taking on Todd Manuel (20-18-1, 6 KOs) in six-rounds of super welterweight action, Guadalajara, Mexico’s Jonathan Fierro (11-0, 10 KOs) in an eight-round super featherweight bout, Arizona native Jesus Ibarra (11-0, 5 KOs) facing Hector Suarez (12-13-2, 6 KOs) in a six-round super lightweight clash, former amateur standout Micky Scala (2-0, 1 KO) versus Martez Jackson (5-5-3, 2 KOs) in a four-round super welterweight match, Congo’s Farid Ngoga (4-0, 4 KOs) taking on Isaac Freeman (3-9-2, 3 KOs) in a four-round super welterweight duel, and Phoenix resident Keenan Carbajal (22-2-1, 14 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight fight.
