Benavidez’s Gameplan Revealed: Walk Morrell Down And Test His Heart

David Benavidez says he will try to beat “regular” WBA light heavyweight champion David Morrell and “hurt him every round” in his 40 Days headliner on February 1 on PBC on Prime Video PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las. Vegas.

Muriel walk down

Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) believes he can “hurt” Cuban Morel (11-0, 9 KOs), and wants to see if he has any “heart” by putting pressure on him. This could be a mistake for “The Mexican Monster” Benavidez to try and beat Morel in this fight because this is arguably the biggest boxer in the 175 pound division. He might get into something and get kicked out.

For most of Benavidez’s 28-year-old career, he has been competing in a class below his size, sapping energy competing at 168 instead of being where he should be at 175. As such, fans have described him as a “weight bully”, and it’s hard to argue against that when you see him being dehydrated during his fights. He’s like a cruiserweight.

Morrell is roughly the same size as Benavidez but with more power. He doesn’t have a grumpy belly like him, keeping his weight down between fights and not indulging in good things.

Morel’s chin test

“I definitely think I can hurt him. I’m going to execute my game plan to the best of my abilities to try to hurt him as much as I can,” David Benavidez said. Shawn Zetteltalks about what he’s focusing on for his showdown against “regular” WBA light heavyweight champion David Morrell on February 1.

“If the knockout comes, it comes. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t happen. My game plan is going to be on him all night and literally try to hurt him every round. For him to give up, I don’t know. That’s the question. I want to see if David Morrell He really has that heart or if he has that dog inside of him.

“I’m going to try to hurt him every round, so we’ll see what happens. In this fight, I feel really strong. Everything feels good now. I’m injury-free. I’ve been training really well. I’ve been training for a long time and I’m ready,” Benavidez said. “So.”

In Benavidez’s debut at 175 against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, the punches didn’t affect him in their June 15 clash. He looked like an average boxer, and he ate a lot of hard shots from Gvozdyk in that fight. Recently, Benavidez has blamed his poor performances on a whole host of different injuries, making himself look like a wounded man walking into that fight.

David’s punches seemed to be thrown with the same force as they were when he fought at 168 years old. The only difference was that he was fighting a man of the same size, and it had no effect. Benavidez’s injuries could be a sign that he is breaking down physically from a long career in the sport. He has been fighting for over 10 years and is approaching 30 years old.

Fighters usually end at that point in their careers unless they are genetically special. For Benavidez to suffer, the multiple injuries suggest he came to the end like an ordinary fighter and not one of the elite fighters.

Benavidez’s excuses

“I’m ready to excel in my career and take on the biggest challenges out there. I don’t want to be a hypocrite,” Benavidez said of visualizing him crying over Canelo Alvarez not fighting him, yet he’s been dodging a fight against Morel for two years.

Benavidez was a hypocrite because he didn’t want to fight Morel and was doing the same thing Canelo was to him. His excuse that he has bigger money fights is the same excuse Canelo used for not fighting him. The truth was that Morell was very dangerous, and Benavidez did not want to lose.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t give it [Morrell] Opportunity. That was Caleb [Plant] It was a bigger battle than him. “Boo boo” [Demetrius Andrade] Fight from him. Then, when I got to 175, when I got there, he came right behind me. So, it was perfect. He got his belt [WBA ‘regular’]And I got my belt [WBC interim light heavyweight]. “That’s why I say now is the perfect time to fight this fight,” Benavidez said.

Benavidez doesn’t say he would have taken other, less serious fights instead of facing Morell. Benavidez has been called upon by Cuban talent for over two years, and has been taking easier fights, fighting these guys:

-David Lemieux
– Kieron Davis
– Ronald Ellis
