Veteran Gabe Rosado says David Morrell might want to “set traps” for him to harm the amount puncher David Benavidez of their combat in 48 days on February 1st on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas. Rosado doesn’t suppose Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) can match the excessive output of Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and will get knocked out by him by getting buried with quantity.
Many followers see Benavidez as too skilled for Morrell, and his quantity makes him a nightmare. Nonetheless, the Cuban Morrell’s energy, mobility, and boxing abilities give him an enormous edge. After one combat at 175, Morrell appears extra suited to the division than Benavidez.
Morrell will likely be placing his WBA ‘common’ mild heavyweight title on the road in opposition to WBC interim champion Benavidez of their headliner on PBC on Prime Video PPV. The winner of this combat will have the ability to problem for the undisputed championship at 175.
Rosado’s Prediction
“David Morrell vs. David Benavidez. I favor Benavidez, however you possibly can’t sleep on Morrell,” stated Gabe Rosado to Struggle Hub TV concerning the February 1st match between these two fighters. “Benavidez didn’t should take this combat. Morrell was the one which wanted this combat.
“Morrell type of hit the jackpot. So, if he can win this combat, he’s there, as a result of no person was actually calling Morrell out. So, that type of reveals what sort of canine Benavidez is. He’s like, ‘Okay, no matter. Let’s run it.’
“No one acts like that with Benavidez,” stated Rosado about Morrell trash-talking Benavidez throughout their face-off. “It’s going to be a firefight. They’re each going to conflict. It’s going to be a matter of who can take it as a result of they’re each going to land photographs.
It is a nice combat for Morrell to show himself in opposition to a man that many followers really feel is a future star. Benavidez has held himself again for the final 11 years, selecting to combat at 168 somewhat than transferring as much as 175, the place he has extra alternatives for attention-grabbing fights. If he had moved as much as mild heavyweight in 2014, his profession could be additional alongside. Benavidez foolishly thought Canelo Alvarez would finally combat him, and he waited round for 10 years. What a mistake.
“I believe Morrell is the larger puncher of the 2, however Benavidez will get you out with the amount,” stated Rosado. “So, what’s going to win? Is it going to be energy or is it going to be quantity? That’s what it’s going to return right down to as a result of I don’t suppose Morrell goes to have the ability to match Benavidez’s quantity.”
There’s no guessing about who the larger puncher is between Morrell and Benavidez. It’s clearly Morrell. Might Benavidez be an even bigger puncher if he wasn’t specializing in quantity punching? Most likely, however he prefers to throw punches in bunches somewhat than loading up.
The Technique: Traps
“He’s punching always on high of you. He don’t get drained. So, Morrell goes to should set traps to land photographs in that combat,” stated Rosado.
Benavidez does get drained. We noticed that in his final combat in opposition to Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June fifteenth. He was drained after six rounds and took many laborious punches from Gvozdyk within the second half of the competition.
