Coach Jose Benavidez Sr. says his son, David Benavidez, goes to take David Morrell into the deep waters and drown him of their combat in 29 days on February 1st on PBC on Prime Video PPV in Las Vegas.
Jose Sr. feels that Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) can put on down WBA ‘common’ gentle heavyweight champion Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) with physique pictures and strain.
Benavidez’s Plan
“We don’t know. All people’s fashion is completely different,” mentioned Jose Benavidez Sr. to YSM Sports activities Media when requested if David Morrell is a more durable opponent for David Benavidez than Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade.
“David Morrell is a superb fighter, a really adorned newbie fighter, a two-time world champion at 168 and 175. He’s a left-hander. We don’t know [if Morrell is tougher than Plant and Andrade], however as of proper now, we’re coaching like he’s the most effective fighter in our profession. We’ve received to assume that.
“We will’t underestimate David Morrell. We don’t understand how huge is his coronary heart. We’re going to take him to the deep waters, and we’re going to see if he can swim. If not, he’s going to drown. The plan is to not simply win the combat. Look spectacular,” mentioned Benavidez Sr.
Morrell is way greater, stronger, and youthful than Plant and Andrade. So, for Jose Sr. to be relying on Benavidez doing the identical factor to him that he did in opposition to these fighters, he could possibly be in for an enormous disappointment on February 1st.
“The factor is with all these fighters that transfer round. They don’t wish to get hit. So, they’re very cautious. They use their legs so much,” mentioned Jose Sr. “I hope David Morrell involves combat and exhibits the folks he’s the most effective at 175, and that’s going to finish in a knockout.”
Morrell doesn’t transfer round so much. When he does transfer, he’s standing in entrance of his opponents. He’s not transferring across the ring however aspect to aspect together with his higher physique. Morrell might be there for Benavidez to trade pictures.
The punches that Morrell throws are a lot more durable than the fellows the Mexican Monster has been preventing throughout his profession and may not final lengthy when he begins getting hit by the Cuban.
Focusing on The Physique
“If he’s cautious, utilizing his legs and transferring round, it’s going to take us a bit of time as a result of when you’ve gotten a fighter that’s transferring, it makes it a bit of bit troublesome,” mentioned Jose Sr. “I’m certain David [Benavidez] goes to capitalize on that and begin breaking that physique and begin placing harm on him.”
The pictures that Morrell was hitting his final opponent, Radivoje Kalajdzic, on August third wound knockout Benavidez or badly harm him to the place he’s defenseless to a follow-up barrage. Morrell had Radivoje harm quite a few instances of their combat on the BMO stadium in Los Angeles.
“Hopefully, we are able to take him out of there earlier than the ninth or tenth spherical,” mentioned Benavidez Sr.
