The talented former Cuban amateur star David Morrell did a great job last Saturday night, pushing David Benavidez to the edge of the defeat, but arrived briefly in their lightweight battle at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Although Morrell (11-1, 9 ko) surpassed Benavidez (30-0, 24 ko) 224 to 165, his shots had much more power on them and caused great damage to the face of the Mexican monster. Exposed Benavidez In this struggle, showing that he is not what people thought.
Benavidez is re -evaluated
At the end of the fight, Benavides’s face looked beaten, making him look like an older person in the 40s. Although 27-year-old Morrell and Benavidez were only one year old, they looked separated for ten years. Benavides’s career pulled a lot from him.
In the interviews, Benavidez repeatedly said that he would not give Morrell Rhevas and would wait for his title to shoot against the winner of the fight, Arthur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol 2. This is a smart move because Morrell would have a great chance of defeating Benavides in the second fight.
After this performance, the Cuban talent could be avoided because of what Benavidez did. A few fighters in 175 will want to mix him with Morrell now that he has shown that Benavidez is nothing special.

- Plant
- Anthony Yarde
- Willy Hutchinson
- Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Morrell would be a ‘dear’ plant to be a great option, but it should probably move to 168 to make the fight happen. The plant probably wouldn’t want to go to 175 to take over Morrell and split up with her strong shots.
The hits Morrell landed on Benavidez to keep the face remaining would probably have plants in one or two rounds. The plant is a good boxer, but Morrell eventually marked it to be over for the night.
