“There was a number of names on the desk,” David Benavidez acknowledged on social media Tuesday, “however I needed to present my followers the most effective combat attainable. I reached out to David Morrell and his workforce to make this occur and we bought the contract executed. This combat actually gonna be a banger!!!! 2 of the most effective within the division and a couple of titles on the road LFG!!!!! Date and placement to be introduced shortly.” No doubt, this can make for an attention-grabbing combat if confirmed true, for it would function two of the most important hitters within the sport squaring off.
Whereas it’s a on condition that followers would nonetheless like to see Benavidez tackle boxing’s largest star in Canelo Alvarez, it’s simply not going to occur any time quickly, if in any respect. Credit score Benavidez for transferring on with out bitterness. He’s bought a profession of his personal to consider, and it’s apparent he’s not occupied with spending it in Canelo’s shadow. Additionally, ought to this combat grow to be a actuality, it might be extremely anticipated by the game’s fanbase. And one of the best ways to grow to be Canelo massive is to emerge victorious in combat after combat in opposition to rock onerous competitors – and Benavidez is doing simply that if he’s set to fulfill Morrell within the ring.
At 26 years of age, the 11-0 Morrell won’t have an intensive file, however in a 5 12 months profession the Minnesotan (by the use of Cuba) has stopped all however two of his opponents inside the distance. The person’s final combat was again in August, the place he bested Radivoje Kalajdzic by unanimous determination on the Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov undercard. “I would like everyone to see that I’m the most effective,” he’s quoted as saying on the Premier Boxing Champions web site. If he’s, he’s on his approach to proving it by taking up the fearsome Benavidez.
After all Benavidez himself wants no introduction to combat followers. Not everybody is taken into account by some to be averted by Canelo, in any case. And whereas it may be ridiculous to accuse Canelo of ducking anybody (take a look at the person’s resume for proof of his willingness to combat harmful opposition), the purpose is obvious – the 29-0 Benavidez is a power to be reckoned with. He’s fought powerful guys, slick guys and just about anybody in between and has by no means misplaced. He’s additionally completed all however 5 of his opponents inside the distance.
Each fighters, in brief, are nothing if not harmful.
