David Benavidez’s fight against former WBA ‘regular’ light heavyweight champion David Morrell Prime video At the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
@Danrafael1 reports the PPV numbers for the benavidez-morrell battle, which was surprisingly good for an event priced at $ 79.95. This is a sharp price compared to how low the Riyadh season meetings are sold. Banavidez characterized by the heavy push of Morrell, and was fortunate that he had no significant cuts during the action.
It is unclear whether the success of the event was due to the ‘Mexican Monster’ benavidez (30-0, 24 COs) alone or a combination of the Cuban Morrell and some of the undercades.
Benavidez defeated Morrell (11-1, 9 cost) with a unanimous decision of 12 round with the scores 118-108, 115-111 and 115-111. It was a close struggle in reality, but Banavidez’s body struck and his pressure was the differences.
If Benavidez can defeat the winner of the 22nd February match between undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Betterur Betterbiev and Dmitri Biscvol, his roof popularity will go through the roof. He doesn’t have to keep pushing Canelo Alvarez and sounding an obsession with him.
There is a good chance that Betterbiev will be the one Benavidez faces for the four belts, and it will be interesting to see how he deals with his power. He will not be able to enjoy the same success on the inside against Betterbiev as against Morrell, because he is fighting well.
We still do not know how soon Benavidez will have the opportunity to fight for the belts. It may require him to take a stem if betterbiev-bivolol prefers to fight a trilogy.
