Business angle
Lampley believes that the sport has “greater possibilities” if Benavidez (29-0, 24 ko) wins because he is a “Mexican American” than if the Cuban Morrell (11-0, 9) is winning. That’s a superficial, non -delivery To look at the athletic competition, focusing on the business side alone, but there are truths in that.
Better better if Benavidez wins, but it may be temporary. If Morrell wins, then he faces an indisputable champion in the difficult heavyweight category Arthur Beterbiev and collapses him, his stock will fall immediately. The popularity of Benavidez would be only temporary.
Furthermore, if Benavidez moves into a cruise and destroyed by champion IBF -a Jai Ketaia, that would be the same. So, Morrell’s beating will not mean much if Benavidez lacks a talent to transcend this fight, and it will need a strong beard to survive the fight against Beterbiev and repeat because it is not very difficult to guess.
Morrell has A similar power as Arthur BeterbievAnd if Benavidez will just try to go through his shots as he did against smaller, older fighters where he built his 29-0 record, that could be bad for him on Saturday night. Later, Benavides will be overcome with a giants and removed it from the ring in pieces.
Morrell -that the opportunity
“There were other Cubans who also wanted to break out the people. He [David Morrell] It has power, and Southpaw’s power is a rare occurrence in sports for any reason. Southpaws often end up as technicians, and conventional fighters are more likely Sean ZittelSpeaking of the Cuban southern Pope, David Morrell, on the eve of his fight against David Benavidez on Saturday.
“He is [Morrell] He got a strong right hook and has real skills. Here he has a huge platform to show what he can do. Not a favorite. Benavidez is a favorite but I think the fight was in Havana [Cuba]would be a favorite. So, I think it’s a huge opportunity for Morrell.
“I think Benavidez can become a giant star. I think there are more opportunities than Morrela because he is a Mexican. It’s a bigger audience. I don’t think for any of them, but I think the sport will benefit if Benavidez puts on Benavidez type.
Benavidez can become a giant star, but again, it may not last long if it decides to fight the best, not to get them as many carefully packed fighters. Beterbiev is likely to knock out the “Mexican monster” of Benavidez and destroy it as the Callum Smith. He says Benavidez and his father are focused on WBA and WBO champion in Gilbert Ramirez’s cross -country category, not the IBF champion Jai Pictaia.
This suggests that they know their limitations and do not want to mess up with the repeat. Some believe Benavidez bent down Morrella for the last three years and they just wanted to fight him only because in his previous fight he did not look good in his debut at 175 against Radivoja Kalajdzic.
If Team Benavidez has avoided Morrell all these years, he is likely to do the same with the repeat. Benavidez wants Arthur Beterbieva because he is 40 years old, and there is a lot of money to fight him from Saudi Arabia. Will make a lot of money and have a pronunciation built If he loses to Beterbiev. “I fought with the best light heavyweight category on the planet.” It would be like the injured hand Benavidez used after a bad appearance in his debut in a slight heavyweight category against Oleksandar Gvozdyk last June.
“There are areas where Morrell can have significant advantages,” Lampley said. “The incentives are bigger for Benavidez. It changes his life more than changing Morrell if Benavidez can win this in a spectacular way, and he knows it. So I think that his dreams may be bigger, his horizons may be bigger, and I can favor Benavides to win the fight. “
Discussion of a “abuser”
Again, Lamley focused on the business side of things rather than a sports side in Benavidez Vs. Morrell fight. We hope that he will not be a controversial decision involved in this fight, with the A-Side Benavidez fighter win over Morrell after dominating. That would award every victory of Benavidez.
“I have not seen a disadvantage that I can see as a clear potential for Morrell to upset him and win the fight, but that might show up on Saturday night,” Lampley said, responding to me that many Benavidez fans view as “weight Bully because throughout his career he struggled with smaller, older fighters.
