David Morrell, the ‘Mexican Monster’ personality, says that David Benavidez is just a false identity and that he really “A fat chicken.” The WBA’s ‘regular’ light heavyweight champion Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) vows to “knock out” Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) to expose him as a fraud.
Morrell vs. Benavidez will headline a 12-round fight over 15 days on Feb. 1 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be shown live on PBC on Prime Video PPV. Benavidez will have his WBC interim 175-lb belt on the line, which he recently captured against Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15 of last year.
Monster fake?
This fight will show if Benavidez is as good as he and his followers think he is and if he is fools gold, who have been fooling naive fans all along. They want Benavidez to replace Canelo Alvarez so badly that they don’t look at him with open eyes to see that he’s been fighting ham and eggs his entire career. Fans want Benavidez to be their new hero so badly that they are unwilling to recognize the blemishes that are there and that he is not the genuine article.
“Are you the King? I’m coming for you. Get out of here,” said David Morrell PPV.comand talk about David Benavidez, who has been on air like he’s the top dog in the 175-lb division but has yet to score any credible wins and looked atrocious in his light heavyweight debut.
“I got everything. Fast, power, defense, attack, legs that move. I have everything. I don’t know why people say he is ‘The Monster’. Boom. He goes down 100%. I promise you, I’ll knock him out,” says Morrell.
“The ‘Mexican Monster’ everything is fake. He is what we call in Cuba, “a little chicken.” Benavidez is not the same as me,” Morrell said. “In Cuba we took his lunch money. Such a fat kid. I don’t want to say I’m a little poor kid, but I mean, man, it’s different. That hunger Cubans have. I dare say that few have. I have waited a long time for this fight. At the moment it is more serious.”
Mentally alert fans saw after Benavidez’s last fight against 37-year-old Oleksandr Gvozdyk that he was not the fighter they thought he was. He worked in that fight and got bumped in the second half.
Benavidez got hurt in the 12th, and luckily it didn’t happen earlier in the round because Gvozdyk lit him like a candle. It was hard to see.
Benavidez’s excuses, as he blamed his terrible performance on hand injuries, fail the laugh test. He wasn’t the same guy now that he was fighting where he should have been from the start of his career at 175, and he couldn’t handle going up against someone his size.

“I’m going out there, and I’m fighting for my life, and he’s trying to take everything from me,” David Benavidez said of Morrell. “When I look at David Morrell, I think: ‘His team, his dog, his cat and everyone there.’ My main job is to knock him out, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
What is Benavidez talking about? Why does he mention Morrell’s dog and cat? It sounds like pure paranoia on his part to include his pets as part of his reason for hitting him. I mean, ‘The Mexican Monster’ has the toughest opponent of his career, his first real test with his size, younger than him, and with more power.
Benavidez must show that he is sincere and not just a fake who got over all these years by draining to fight in a weight class smaller than his massive frame and mainly picking on old guys. If he loses this fight against Morrell, it just means that he was fake, and his whole career was just a fraud.
