David Morrell (11-1, 9 ko) says he feels that he made a mistake he started over the overflow in the fight waiting until the last three rounds to tire David Benavidez (30-0, 24 ko) in their headliner in Las Vegas on Saturday night. .
Late rush
Bad by lagging on the judge’s assessors, Morrell fought like a man obsessed with the tenth round, surpassing the exhausted ‘Mexican monster’ Benavidez into the T-Mobile Arena.
Morrell overthrew Benavidez at 11. And made him eat shots in 12th place. Morrell stepped up a little too much at the end of 11. When Benavidez struck after the bell called out, but he wanted to finish it.
Benavidez looked pretty beaten around his face and had nothing on his shots. He shot like medium weight, and it is clear that he did not go well into a 175 -pound division. He is forced to win in his struggles by quantity, which is a difficult way to do so in this weight class because he will take a fine as tonight.
The way Benavidez looked tonight, he would not beat the undisputed champion in the heavyweight category Arthur Beterbiev if he is the following. Beterbiev struck too much and he would confront him from the inside.
Morrell’s regret
