If Benavidez loses this battle, he can say goodbye ceaselessly to the large mega-million payday in opposition to the winner of the February twenty second rematch between undisputed gentle heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Benavidez targets the winner of that battle as a result of he can earn untold riches by combating whoever emerges. Nevertheless, if Morrell destroys Benavidez, that’s the top of his goals.
Monster’s Urge for food
Benavidez, 27, did look chunky across the midsection, and you could possibly see his stomach throughout the promo shoot face-off with Morrell, wherein each guys had their shirts off. ‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez didn’t resemble an expert athlete with the intestine he was sporting.
He’s now working feverishly, making an attempt to take the burden off in coaching, and speaking boldly, virtually angrily, this week about what he’ll do to Morrell. If he had self-discipline, he wouldn’t put the burden on within the first place.
In a video this week, Benavidez mentioned, “I’m going to knock this mom **** out.” Benavidez has gotten used to being the bully in opposition to older, smaller, and weaker opposition whereas combating at tremendous middleweight.
Now that Benavidez has moved as much as 175, it nonetheless hasn’t set in that he can not do what he did earlier than. He can’t use his dimension to dominate the opposition, and he’s lastly dealing with high quality guys as a substitute of the delicate opposition his administration had been feeding him all through his total 11-year profession.

– Anthony Dirrell: 38
– David Lemieux
– Demetrius Andrade: 35
– Caleb Plant: After his knockout loss to Canelo. Want I say extra?
The WBC interim 175-lb champion Benavidez has clearly been consuming good. Nonetheless, he’s going to have to manage himself as a result of he might be pressured to maneuver as much as cruiserweight or heavyweight quickly.
It had solely been 5 months since his final battle on June 15h, however Benavidez appeared fully out of practice. That implies he’s not dwelling the life between fights and letting himself go like heavyweight Tyson Fury does.
“F*** you, fats boy. I’m the terminator,” mentioned David Morrell to Fighthype, reacting to the knockout predictions and trash speak from WBC interim gentle heavyweight champion David Benavidez forward of their February 1st showdown in 49 days.
