The ‘Mexican Monster’ Benavidez was spoiling for a battle and was fortunate that Morrell didn’t mind him together with his belt when he hurled it at him. Morrell threw it like a baseball pitcher.
Benavidez Loses Management
When the 2 champions got here head-to-head, phrases have been exchanged, and with out warning, Benavidez shoved the Cuban Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) throughout the room. Morrell reacted by tossing his WBA belt at Benavidez, narrowly lacking him with a headshot. The 2 groups instantly converged to forestall fists from being thrown.
It seemed like Benavidez was spoiling for a battle, maybe being angered by Morrell’s trash-talk, as he was letting the Mexican Monster have it throughout the face-off. It’s seemingly that Morrell reminded Benavidez that he’d averted him for 2 years and wished no half in preventing him.
Morrell is a giant risk to Benavidez’s future desires of preventing the winner of the Arur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 rematch on February twenty second. There’s some huge cash for Benavidez or Morrell to make preventing the winner of that contest.
So, it’s comprehensible why Benavidez is so wound up. He actually can not afford to lose this battle towards the Cuban Morrell. If Benavidez, 28, will get knocked out by the KO artist Morrell, he’ll have a good distance again to the highest. It received’t be straightforward subsequent time.
“I’m very excited. It’s the most important battle of my life, and I’m at the very best motion of my life bodily and emotionally,” mentioned David Benavidez to Struggle Hub TV, reacting to his altercation with David Morrell throughout their face-off throughout the media exercise.
“Every part is 100%, and I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory. It was my birthday as we speak, so I didn’t wish to get too aggressive. I attempted to shake his head, however he saved working his mouth. I’m not going to let anyone disrespect me like that,” Benavidez continued about Morrell.
“I don’t know who this man thinks he’s. He thinks he’s the toughest man on the planet. I’m going to beat the f*** out of him. There’s nothing else left to say. He’s a fantastic fighter, sure, however I’m going to make all these nice fighters look common.”
Morrell has a birthday current for Benavidez 😳
