“Power similar to the leaf”
Decubas believes that Benavidez “is not difficult to guess,” as Morrell’s leaf like heavy power, he will be damaged. He believes that if Benavidez (29-0, 24 ko) can take Morrell’s hard strokes for 12 rounds, he would say a lot about him, and he would choose him to beat anyone in a lightweight heavyweight.
Benavidez spoke of his plans to win Morrell with a combined blow, which means he will be in his pocket waiting to be hit. It will be interesting to see which of the two fighters can achieve a knockout.
“I’m very convinced of this fight. Guy [Benavidez] It was made to order for Morrell. He goes forward. It’s not bad in defense, but it’s not hard to hit it, “said manager Luis de Cubas Sr. Sean Zittel About how David Benavidez is an ideal guy for his fighter David Morrel.
“It will reveal when you guess it full light heavyweight category [Morrell] How is it because Morrell beat [two-time Olympic gold medalist Julio Cesar] La Cruz in Cuba when he was 17 and he was 178 pounds.
“I am the one who knocked him to 168 because we had the opportunity for Lennox Allen [in 2020]And we took the opportunity and won the title. We tried to get it [Benavidez] First in 168 we couldn’t.
“Thank God we moved by 175 and after the last performance [against Radivoje Kalajdzic] Which people have seen, maybe this is why they are [Team Benavidez] He struggled, which is great. I know the guy we fought with was not 28-2. Was 29-1 because [deserved to] win [Marcus] Brown [on April 16, 2016].
If Morrell’s last appearance was not against Kalajdzic, he would probably not have fought against Benavidez. It seems that this performance gave the Benavidez team the confidence that I could win. Before that, they did not show interest, maybe because Morrell destroyed everything he faced.
Kalajdzic survived Morrell using the movement and showing a strong beard. If he stood in front of him the whole fight, he would probably have blow him like the others.
“The guy Benavidez fought with [Oleksandr Gvozdyk] He was 37 years old in a lightweight category. He fought three times in seven years. The guy we fought with was active. The guy was a good driver. He moved and we had to look for him, “Decubas said about Kalajdzic, using a movement in his fight against Morrell on August 3.
“Benavidez will not move. It will be there in front of us, and I am very convinced. I will tell fans one thing. If Benavidez can perform this child in 12 rounds, I will respect Benavidez a lot, and I would favor him with any lightweight heavyweight category on him to the world. “
If Morrell expelled Benavidez, he would shock many fans who think he is currently invincible. Many of them failed to look at the quality of the opposition that Benavidez fought through his 12-year career to say, ‘A-ha, that’s why Benavidez looked so good. He fought against the scrub. “
“Holes through the walls”
“This guy [Morrell] pierces the holes through the walls. Has Sonny Liston HandsAnd he’s wit. Anywhere with one blow, it can knock you out. So, I’m very convinced of fighting. It’s a great opportunity for us, and the baby is very exciting, “Decubas Sr.
Morrell looks like it’s the biggest blow to a slight heavy division. From watching Morrell, you can say in his victory over Kalajdzica that he has more power than Arthur Beterbiev, which many fans see as the biggest blow. Morrell hits stronger but does not try to overcome his opponents as Beterbiev does. It focuses more on throwing them out with one shots.
