Andy Cruz is predicting a knockout victory for David Morrell in his fight next Saturday night against David Banavidez on February 1 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The 2020 Olympic gold medalist Cruz sees Morrell (11-0, 9 COs) as “similar” to himself in how he is relaxed and has fun.
Benavidez (29-0, 24 COs) Looks like he’s everything worked up, angryand nervous before his fight with Morrell. If you look at “The Mexican Monster”, you can see that he is worried about this fight, knowing he may lose and that the hard work he has thrown in his long career will be wasted. He knows the end is coming and tries his best to intimidate Morrell with threatening behavior.
This is a battle that Banavidez never wanted, and ignores Morrell’s repeated calls since 2022, and it’s easy to see why. Banavidez has made good money over the past five years by fighting against older fighters, smaller than he and on their last legs. To take Morrell, that gravy train would end cash he enjoyed.
Cruz’s prediction
“What I can say about Morrell is that he is a typical Cuban fighter. He always smiles, and he always dances. I see him very similar to me, always jokes and always dance. Maybe he’s even worse than me, ”Andy Cruz told the mediaWhat the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell battle for next Saturday, February 1, analyzed.
“As for his focus for this battle, I really see him focused. It’s going to be a tough fight, but I think he’s going to deliver a good performance, ”Cruz continued over David Morrell. “I see him win. I don’t just see him win. I see he wins with knockout. ”
Fans in the US root after Benavidez, see him as wonderful, and they will not be happy if Morrell exposes him as a “false”. It is never nice when fans see how their heroes are uncovered as pretend, because they feel stupid and cheated when it happens.
They will jump off Benavidez’s sinking ship after losing, and he will be abandoned as he sinks under the waves.
Fans will mourn Benavidez’s loss in this battle. They have always considered him the #1 fighter in the 168-LB section, and believe he can beat Canelo Alvarez. However, they have never stopped investigating his fighting style and the poor opposition he encountered through his 12-year career. This lack of critical thinking is alarming.
If you look at Benavidez’s last fight against Oleksandr Gvozydk, it is clear that he is only pure foolish gold and never the fighter who thought the gullible supporters.
If you compare the performance with benavidez’s weak resume, it is clear that he is another example of a manufactured fighter made to look good by fighting outside his natural weight class against older, smaller fighters.
