“Liston-like power”

Decubas feels that benavidez ‘is not difficult to hit’, and with Morrell’s Liston-like heavyweight power, he will damage him. He thinks that if benavidez (29-0, 24 kos) can take Morrell’s hard bumps for 12 rounds, it would say a lot about him, and he would choose him to beat someone in the light heavyweight division.

Benavidez talked about his plans to beat Morrell with a combination punch, which means he will be in the bag and waiting to be hit. It will be interesting to see which of the two fighters can record a knockout.

“I am very confident in this struggle. The man (benavidez) is ordered for Morrell. He comes forward. He is not definitely bad, but he is not difficult to hit, ”said the driver Luis de Cubas Sr. Sean Zittel About David Banavidez is the ideal man for his fighter David Morrell.

“He’s going to find out when he’s hit with a full -fledged light -weight (Morrell) how it is, because Morrell knocked (two -time Olympic gold medal Julio Cesar) La Cruz In Cuba when he was 17 years old and 178 pounds.

“I am the one who brought him to 168 because we had the opportunity for Lennox Allen (in 2020), and we took advantage of the opportunity and won the title. We tried to get him (benavidez) first at 168. We couldn’t.

“Thanks to the Lord, we have moved up to 175, and after the last show (against Radivoje Kalajdzic) that people saw, this is perhaps the reason why they (Team benavidez) fought us, which is wonderful. I know the man we fought with was not 28-2. He was 29-1 because he (Marcus) earned Browne (on April 16, 2016).

If it wasn’t for Morrell’s last performance against Kalajdzic, he probably wouldn’t have had the fight against Benavidez. The show seems to have given the team of Banavidez the confidence that they can win. For that, they did not show interest, perhaps because Morrell destroyed everyone he faced.

Kalajdzic survived Morrell by using movement and showing a strong chin. If he was standing in front of him, he would probably have been blown out like the others.

‘The man who fought Benavidez (Oleksandr Gvozdyk) on light heavyweight was 37 years old. He fought three times in seven years. The man we fought with was active. The man was a good car. He moved around, and we had to look for him, ”Decubas said of Kalajdzic with movement in his fight against Morrell on August 3.

‘Benavidez is not going to move around. He is going to be there in front of us, and I am very confident. I’ll say one thing to the fans. If benavidez can take this child’s push for 12 rounds, I will respect Benavidez a lot, and I would prefer him over any light heavyweight in the world. “

If Morrell Banavidez strikes, it will shock many fans, who feel that he is now invincible. Many of them failed to go to the quality of the opposition that benavidez fought through his career of 12 years to say ‘A-ha, that’s why benavidez looked so good. He is fighting against scab. ‘

“Gate through walls”

‘This man (Morrell) hits holes through walls. He has Sonny Liston HandsAnd he’s an inch. He can beat you everywhere with one punch. So I am very confident in battle. This is a wonderful opportunity for us, and the child is very exciting, ”says Decubas Sr.

Morrell seems to be the largest puncher in the light heavyweight section. You can see that he watches Morrell’s bumps in his victory over Kalajdzic that he has more power than Artur Betterbiev, who sees many fans as the biggest puncher. Morrell strikes harder, but does not try to overwhelm his opponents like Betterbiev. He focuses more on beating them with a few shots.
