Talented former Cuban amateur star David Morrell did an excellent job last Saturday night, which drove David Benavidez to the edge of defeat, but lacked in their light heavyweight fight in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Although Morrell (11-1, 9 COs) was landed by benavidez (30-0, 24 food) 224 to 165, his strokes had much more power and the Mexican monster’s face did a lot of damage. He exposed benavidez In this battle, which shows that he was not what people thought.
Benavidez re -evaluated
At the end of the fight, Banavidez’s face hit and made him look like an older person in his forties. Although 27-year-old Morrell and Banavidez were only one year apart, they looked ten years apart. Benavidez’s career took a lot out of him.
Banavidez said in interviews repeatedly that he would not give Morrell a rematch and would wait for his title shot against the winner of the Artur Betterbiev against Dmitri Bivolol 2 struggle. This is a smart step because Morrell would have an excellent chance of beating benavidez in a second fight.
After this performance, Cuban talent can be avoided as a result of what he did to benavidez. Few fighters at 175 will want to mix it with Morrell now that he has shown that benavidez is nothing special.
What’s the next for Morrell?
- Caleb plant
- Anthony Yarde
- Willy Hutchinson
- Oleksandr gvozdyk
‘Sweethands’ plant would be an excellent option for Morrell, but it would probably require him to move to 168 to make the fight happen. Plant probably would not increase to 175 to adopt Morrell and be taken apart by its powerful shots.
The bumps that Morrell ends up on Benavidez to age his face are likely to knock out in one or two rounds. Plant is a good boxer, but he was finally marked by Morrell and is ready for the night. The former IBF -Super -Middleweight Champion plant was injured several times in his last fight by contender Trevor McCumby and was lucky not to strike out in the match.
