"Lewis and Tyson demonstrated similar power". Legendary commentator spoke out about Benavides

Famed American commentator Jim Lampley shared his opinion on interim WBC interim middleweight champion David Benavides (27-0, 23 KOs).

"Most boxing fans don't think Saul Alvarez is a risk with Jaime Munguia because they don't believe Munguia is experienced enough to be concerned about him. They believe Benavides has enough experience. If David could get in the ring with Canelo and get in, chin strength probably wouldn't matter at all.

He just ran over Demetrious Andrade. I believed that Andrade would be able to avoid a knockout due to his skill set. I walked out of the arena that night thinking, "Where have I seen power like that?" Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson showed similar power," Lampley said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.

Recall that on June 22 Benavides is scheduled to fight for the belt of the interim champion of the WBC in the light heavyweight division against the Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk.
