David Benavidez claims superior speed post-Andrade victory

David Benavidez, coming off a dominating victory over Demetrius Andrade, is not content to rest on his laurels. His recent win, a testament to his prowess, was a blend of tactical mastery and raw power. Now, he shifts his focus, but not toward another traditional boxing match. In a surprising twist, Benavidez has turned his attention to Ryan Garcia, a boxer known for his extraordinary hand speed.

In an intriguing segment of an interview with ESNews, Benavidez made a statement that has stirred the boxing community. He said, “I am faster than Ryan Garcia, to be honest with you. If he wants to see who throws more than 100 punches in less than 10 seconds, we could go at it.” This bold claim, coming from a fighter fresh off a victory that solidified his position in the super middleweight hierarchy, adds an interesting dimension to his career. “But I feel like I am extremely fast and I’m just getting faster too,” he added confidently.

This is not about who can land the most powerful punch or outmaneuver the other in the ring; it’s about sheer speed, a fundamental yet often understated aspect of boxing skill. Benavidez’s call-out, phrased in the language of friendly competition, ignites a new kind of rivalry in the sport. Fans already had their say on Ryan Garcia’s hand speed recently.
