He feels that Benavidez (29-0, 24 COs) is always angry about something, and that is him. He shows an ugly face, like a person with a permanent slide on his shoulder. If Benavidez grew up in the Cuban national team like Morrell, he would be another person or provoked. It would probably be the latter.
Some people are temperamental from birth, and they are permanently so, like a rabid dog. You know when you see one. Benavidez is perhaps one of them, and it’s going to work against him against Morrell on Saturday. You can’t fight like a mad against a Cuban school fighter without pulling apart.
Too emotional
It can be a product of benavidez who grew up as a fat child and teased and dismissed by people. He is always upset, who can work against him on Saturday if he fights like a mad.
During the last press conference of Thursday, Banavidez seemed to need a 72-hour psychic. He hit Morrell’s manager and got up as if he wanted to throw down the entire team. He is too emotional. It will get him in trouble against Morrell and possibly beat him.
You can see that he looks at Benavidez that he has no amateur experience because he could not fight like that and overcome against the world-level talents. He left with this style as a pro, but never fought anyone young and talented. Jose Benavidez Sr. his father chose his opponents well and focused on 35-year-olds.
Issues regarding anger handling?
“That’s me. I don’t have time to be angry. This is my personality, ”David Morrell told the Ppv YouTube channel when asked if he was trying to intimidate David Banavidez. ‘David says,’ You are not focused on this battle. “I’m focused.
“You’re angry, always angry with an ugly face. I have a smile on my face. This is my personality. His personality is angry. This is not my fault. This is your problem. I’m ready for everything, ”Morrell said when asked if he benefited more from a war or a boxing match.
“All three,” Morrell said when asked if he would throw a left hook, right hand or a top cut. “Everything is important.”
Morrell makes some good points. Benavidez behaves like a Hothead during interviews and fights in the same way. He constantly pushes, uploads each shot, throws combinations and removes himself in the process.
He can fight as he did in his last fight against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, against Morrell, or the other light heavyweights in the division without burning himself out. He did not look good in the last four rounds against Gvozdyk, and he took shots that would get most fighters in the weight class.
Morrell will throw more power shots than Gvozdyk did, and with greater power. If benavidez Superhuman looked with his ability to take a punch, every fighter finally got injured.
If they do not show it, the damage is still done internally and something out of it. Benavidez will not change his style for Morrell or any fighter in 175. He will try to walk through his shots, and it will be interesting to see if he can take the blows without falling apart in the later rounds as against Gvozdyk. .
Even Canelo Alvarez noted that benavidez was not the same fighter in his debut in 175. The power is different in that weight class, and the fighters are not old and small. They will not fold at 175 like the old time ready for restorative homes, such as those who four for 11 years at 168.
Can Benavidez handle Morrell’s power?
“Morrell is likely to throw a lot of blows, and it’s going to get into the game in the second half of this fight,” says Chris Mannix on his Youtube channel. ‘Experience. Morrell had a long amateur career, and we loved what we saw from him, but he is only 11-0.
“Benavidez is 29-0. When you look at the CVs, Benavidez was in the ring like Caleb plant, Demetrius Andrade, and a whole bunch of B, B+level guys. The best opponent in Morrell’s career is Yamaguchi Falcão. I wouldn’t know who would be the best man to this point. ‘
Benavidez’s experience is too superficial for him to get credit because he beat guys who were over the hill, old and smaller than him. All you have to do is look at the size difference and the age of the guys who are Banavidez fighting to know that his experience was not at the forefront of the opposition.
If we just look at the names of the fighters that Banavidez fought without looking at their age, size, disadvantage and how many years they were in the sport, you can say that his experience will definitely be an asset. If he looks like that, Morrell has little chance of winning because he didn’t fight the same quality of the competition. The truth, however, is that Benavidez has risen for 11 years before moving up to 175 and looked very on average against Gvodzyk.
“It’s a fight I could see really competitive early on, and maybe a little cagey, because benavidez should be worried about the knockout of Morrell. But when it comes to the second half of the fight, I can see a scenario where benavidez just take over, ‘says Mannix.
I see it the contrary. Benavidez will bulge Morrell from the beginning, just as he did Gvozdyk and Andrade. He will try to catch Morrell in a war. If he has the chin to take Morrell’s shots, he will win. It can be difficult if Morrell moves around in the ring as Andy Cruz did in his victory over Omar Salcido.
If Morrell Boxes are benavidez, he could make him look like a scrub and possibly knock him out. Banavidez is nowhere near the boxer who is Morrell, and he is helpless on the outside because of his lack of reach. He is merely an inside fighter that is hit a lot.
“I think Morrell is tough and can do the distance, but with benavidez the work rate for an experienced fighter at the pro level will be really difficult to handle Morrell,” Mannix said.
