David Benavidez continues to make use of speak of steroids as a promoting level for his struggle towards WBA ‘common’ mild heavyweight champion David Morrell on February 1st.
It’s a bizarre approach to promote the struggle and get followers , however Benavidez doesn’t appear to have a lot to say throughout his interviews. Additionally, he’s nonetheless making excuses for his abysmal efficiency in his debut at 175 towards Oleksandr Gvozdyk final June. It sounds so weak.
PPV Title Battle
Subsequent month, Benavidez can have his WBC interim 175-lb title on the road towards Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) of their headliner on PBC on Prime Video PPV on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
“You’ve by no means heard my title related to steroids. You’ve heard David Morrell’s title related to steroids,” mentioned David Benavidez to Xicana Boxing about David Morrell, speaking about his unfounded suspicions of him being soiled forward of their struggle on February 1st.
“The man he fought mentioned they examined him, however they didn’t take a look at David Morrell, even after the struggle there’s no drug take a look at. That’s bizarre as a result of there’s all the time drug exams proper after the struggle. I need to inform the individuals if I had one thing to cover, why would I ask for extra drug exams?
“We had nothing to cover and that’s why we’re making an attempt to name for clear boxing. We’re testing as a lot as attainable to verify there’s no humorous enterprise occurring.
“I’m undoubtedly going to punish him,” mentioned Benavidez about Morrell. “As for when it’s going to finish, I don’t take into consideration that. I’m considering I’m going to go in and do my recreation plan. The distinction between my final struggle [Oleksandr Gvozdyk] and his struggle [Radivoje Kalajdzic]. I went in there with two injured palms.
Excuses Or Actuality?
“I had a torn tendon right here, I had a fractured knuckle, and I had a minimize once I bought 10 stitches three weeks earlier than the struggle. So, I used to be already going by a whole lot of adversity. The fighter I went up towards was method higher than the fighter he went up towards,” mentioned Benavidez.
“I feel due to that, it reveals I’m a distinct caliber fighter. Lots of people if they’d one hand injured, they’d have canceled the struggle. I had two injured palms. I didn’t cancel the struggle as a result of it was an enormous deal.
“Me and Tank had been preventing on the identical card on PPV. So, think about if I had pulled out of the struggle, I’d have let my followers down. I care about my followers greater than something,” mentioned Benavidez.
What ‘The Mexican Monster’ isn’t saying is he regarded worse towards Gvozdyk than Morrell did in his one-sided win over Kalajdzic. Morrell harm his opponent repeatedly in that struggle to the top, and his physique bought stronger because the struggle wore on. In distinction, Benavidez by no means harm Gvozdyk and bought drained after six rounds. He took a beating down the stretch.
There was no signal of Benavidez being injured in his final struggle towards Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June fifteenth. He was throwing punches with full energy with each palms and didn’t look injured. the place Benavidez regarded unhealthy was how he bought drained within the second half, took a whole lot of onerous photographs from the 37-year-old Gvozdyk, and was harm to the physique.
Fatigue has nothing to do with injured palms and the whole lot to do with Benavidez not carrying to further weight properly.
Benavidez has made excuses for his poor efficiency in his debut at 175 towards Oleksandr Gvozdyk, blaming injured palms and a latest minimize. It will have been higher if he had simply let his efficiency converse for itself relatively than give excuses afterward.
