Followers are going to doubtlessly see Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) get put in his place by the Cuban expertise Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs), who possesses extra energy, hand pace, and general capacity than the ‘Mexican Monster’ or ought to I say, ‘The Ecuadoran Monster.’ If Benavidez loses to Morrell, he can completely neglect about combating Canelo Alvarez as a result of he’ll by no means be capable to redeem himself in time to get a whiff of a combat in opposition to the celebrity earlier than he retires.
Benavidez is a favourite for informal boxing followers who aren’t conversant in Morrell, however that’s as a result of they haven’t seen the Cuban star in motion.

The Benavidez-Morrell combat had beforehand been scheduled for January twenty fifth, nevertheless it’s being moved every week later, which isn’t a giant deal. Whoever emerges because the winner might problem for the WBC title sooner or later after undisputed gentle heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev faces Dmitry Bivol in a rematch.
