The WBC has confirmed that the winner of next month’s fight between David Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and David Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) will be a “mandatory challenge” to the winner of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitri Bivol 2. .
Order of WBC
If Bivol is victorious in his rematch with light heavyweight champion Beterbiev, there is a chance he could fight the trio next. That means the Benavidez-Morel winner will have to wait until after the third Beterbiev-Bivol fight before getting a crack at the four belts.
It depends on what Turki al-Sheikh wants to do. If he wants to see an immediate third fight between Terbiev and Bivol, that will happen.
“Undisputed champion Artur Beterbiev will fight in his rematch with Dmitri Bivol on February 22 in Riyadh. Interim champion David Benavidez will fight David Morel on February 1. The winner will be the mandatory challenger for the division against the winner of Beterbiev and Bivol.” WBC.
Power at 175?
I hope it happens. I don’t think it will, no,” David Benavidez told PPV. Channel Canelo on his hopes of fighting Alvarez. “A lot of people ask, ‘When are you going to fight?’ They ask me. I do not know.
“It’s about Canelo. If he wants to fight, we can make him succeed. Everyone knows it’s the biggest fight in boxing. So whenever that time comes, I’m ready.
That’s why I’m taking up this fight (David Morrell). I was already preparing for a tough fight in my head, I think there is no better experience than going with these tough fighters. This prepares me for whatever comes next.
“I want to be one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing. I want to be one of the fighters you remember like (Jennady) Golovkin and Julio Cesar Chavez. Those are the fighters I want to be. I don’t back down from anybody. I’m not afraid of anybody, and this is the way I’m going to prove it,” Benavidez said. He said.
Benavidez lacks power and will never be in the junior league of Gennady Golovkin or Julio Cesar Chavez. Morel is more of a Golovkin level fighter than Benavidez. The ‘Mexican Monster’ is a volume puncher, and he will not be a power man of 175. At 28, he will suddenly never find power there.
Every fighter wants to be blessed with Terbiev-level power, but those are special people who only come around once in a while. Benavidez is still a good baseman and despite getting hit by big puncher Morel on February 1st, he can still make a good living. You have to be born with genetics for power, and Benavidez was not blessed in that department.
Low level skills
“I feel that different aspects of my game are underrated, one of which is IQ. Defense is another one. It is my third power. People, I don’t know what it is about them. They think I have no energy because I love to eat and get a little cranky out of season.
“That all changes when you get in the ring with me. So I think everything I do is underrated. “I don’t think I’m a good fighter until they get in the ring with me and see, ‘Oh, this guy is a problem,'” Bnavidez said.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t give any examples of fighters who didn’t think he was good until they got in the ring with him. Benavidez’s resume is weak, and he has never fought any top fighters in his 12-year professional career. So, when he says ‘this guy’s a problem’ when he talks about the Warriors, he doesn’t mean anything because he’s faced B- and C-level opposition throughout his career.
Benavidez’s Best Wins:
– Oleksandr Gvozdyk: 37 and recently retired from 4-year
– Demetrios Andrade: 36
– Caleb Plant: Losing the knockout after Canelo
– Anthony Dirrell: 38
– David Lemieux: Traveler
– Romer Alexis Angulo: Ditto
– Ronald Ellis
– Ronald Gavril
These are Benavidez’s best wins, and there’s no one you’d call a good enough fighter to make a big deal about him. He fancies himself an elite, but who did he beat to prove it? Benavidez waited three years to fight Morel after being called up in 2022, and you have to wonder why. He did not want to lose to Cuba.
