Benavidez appeared agitated about Morrell not eager to shake his hand after which trash-talking him throughout their face-off. He then put down his WBC belt and pushed Morrell arduous. From there, Morrell hurled his WBA ‘common’ belt at Benavidez, coming near hitting him.
The feminine announcer appeared uncomfortable with the trash-talking between the 2 fighters and seemed to be attempting to settle them down somewhat than simply letting them promote their contest.
Morrell regarded indignant at being shoved and needed to get at Benavidez to land some blows on him. It’s a very good factor that they had been separated as a result of somebody might have gotten harm. It’s too near the struggle for both of them to get injured. Benavidez has already been coping with hand accidents. The very last thing he wants is one other harm earlier than the largest struggle of his profession.
“He didn’t respect me within the press convention in California, and that’s why I didn’t need to respect him at the moment,” mentioned David Morrell when requested why he didn’t need to shake David Benavidez’s hand throughout at the moment’s media exercise to advertise their struggle in 46 days on February 1st.
“February 1st, we’re moving into there. I’m going to interrupt your mouth,” mentioned David Benavidez to Morrell. “This man is saying I’m a straightforward struggle. I’m going to go in there and knock you out, and also you’re not going to say s***. It’s good that each one the Cubans are with you, as a result of after you get knocked out, they’re all going to go away you.”
Benavidez’s glasses had been the sort you’d see from somebody working heavy equipment in a manufacturing facility. The place did he get them, and why did he carry them to the media exercise? Was he planning an altercation with Munguia?
Morrell has a birthday current for Benavidez 😳
