Morrell -ov raw power
Shields does not know which round Morrell (11-0, 9 Kos) will be Benavidez (29-0, 24 ko), but he thinks this will happen because his power will be too much for him. Benavidez has similar ideas, thinking he’ll hurt Morrella and achieve knockout.
Morrell always worked well against a fighter who came to him looking for an exchange, and Benavidez was adapted to his style.
“I was calm, but I was a little worried about the exchange between Benavidez and Decubas SR. It was not Benavidez. It was more about Decubas, the older one, I wanted to make sure it was good,” said David Morrell HUB TV fightsDiscussing the exchange between David Benavidez and his manager, Luis Decubas Sr., during the latest press conference on Thursday.
“I don’t care if it’s a decision or knockout. What I care about is to win, and I’ll be the one who goes out to the top.”
“He has to do both. You can’t fight Benavidez in one way. You have to fight him in his game,” said Morrell’s coach, Ronnie Shields Sean Zittel About Morrell that should be fought backwards and forward against Benavidez.
Morrell will have no other choice but to argue and box Benavides if he wants to beat or survive 12 rounds without being thrown out. Benavidez is pressure. That’s in his DNA, and he won’t give up for a second in that fight. We saw that in his last fight against a bigger, stronger Oleksandar Gvozdyk on June 15 last year.
Benavidez constantly pressured the stronger former WBC Laki Gvozdyk Champion and forced him to move so he wouldn’t stop. Gvozdyk was missing a gasoline, youth or willing tank or willingness to regularly stand on the ground or attack, which allowed Benavides to win almost every circle.
“Just because he [Morrell] There are 11 struggles do not mean that you have no experience in this, “Shields said when asked what would happen if Benavidez wants to pull Morrell into deep waters in later rounds.” That’s why we have a gym. That’s why we train every day for this thing. “
Morrell has experience in amateurs, but he has not struggled with anyone in professionals like Benavidez and will put him under a gun for twelve strenuous rounds. One way to deal with Benavidez’s pressure is to go with a knockout early because it will be there to be hit.
Morrell has shown the power of knocking a fighter who has never stopped in his career. Benavidez has not yet struggled with the type of power Morrell has, and he could fold after he began to hit his head and body strongly.
Although he likes to call himself a “monster,” he is a man, and his resume is lean in talented opposition. Morrell and his manager, Luis Decubas Sr., are right that Benavidez fought with many older, smaller fighters with one foot through the door to retirement. His coach/dad, Jose Benavidez Sr., has been well protected by all these years, which has been selectively coincided to build his 29-0 record.
They hoped to convince Canela Alvarez to fight them, but he did not fool himself. He saw a false record and was not fooled. It is the same part that Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia did. Fight the fluffy opposition, build a plastic record and then an angle for a big salary against Canel. It’s cunning, but it works.
Morrell by ko, says shields
“It will feel power when close and will feel power when Morrell is a distance. So we feel we have an advantage in both directions. I truly truly believe that Morrell will knock him out. I don’t know when, and I don’t care when. It’s just mine The feeling that we will knock him out, “Shields said.
Morrell can throw out Benavidez, but he will have to fight more aggressively than in the last fight against ‘Hot Rod’ Radivoje Kalajdzic to do so. In that fight, Morrell did not press enough and stayed at the top of Radivoje to get a knockout. He hurt him several times, but he didn’t follow him.
