David Benavidez and WBA ‘Ordinary’ light heavyweight champion David Morrell both weighed on Friday night at 174.2 pounds for their 12-round war this Saturday night, directly on PBC on Amazon on Prime video PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The weight drop off game
Benavidez (29-0, 24 food) has Looks like a vampire This week, with its worn -out, lifeless appearance. He cut weight to get down to 175, and of course it was a nightmare for him.
He will probably rehydrate up to 200 pounds For the fight against Morrell (11-0, 9 COs) and has a weight advantage in the ring. It is not intentional of benavidez. He was a cross weight in size for years, but because of his youth he was able to drain to compete at 168 and now 175. As the proverb says, “Once a weight bully, always a weight bully.”
The sanction bodies should all implement 10 pound rehydration clauses to prevent fighters from rehidrating enormous amounts of weight. It must be a standard rule in each section with all governing bodies for security purposes.
His weight manipulation will eventually catch up with him, as with every fighter competing in sections under where they should be. In Benavidez’s last battle against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, it returned to him when he threw out after six rounds and took a horrible knock that he would not soon forget.
We could see the same thing happen on Saturday night, but Morrell hit Benavidez too hard to make it the full 12 as against 37-year-old Gvozdykon on June 15 last year.

“With this man there is no respect,” David Banavidez told the mediaTalk about David Morrell. ” Peace & Love, ” said Benavidez and mocked what Morrell said at their final press conference on Thursday. “I’m not surprised because he’s scared.
“They didn’t think I would take it. They thought I bent them. It wasn’t that I cut them. I got bigger battles because he had to build his name, ”Bansavidez said of Morrell.
It sounds like typical pig wash Of Benavidez, saying that he chose not to fight against Morrell because he fed “bigger battles”. Do you call these guys ‘bigger battles’ for benavidez than Morrell?

It is no bigger battles than those of Morrell, but if benavidez wanted to avoid the talented Cuban, it made sense to him to tackle the lesser guys. Plant is the best of those fighters, but he has been knocked out by Canelo and shown that it has no power. He is a fighter at a finesse level, and he is much smaller than benavidez.
“When I said I wanted to fight this battle, they were in a position where they couldn’t say no,” Benavidez said of Team Morrell. “Now that the time is here, he says nothing. He is afraid. I can see in his eyes. I can feel someone’s fear, and I feel 100% with David Morrell, he’s afraid of me. ‘
