What if Benavidez’s cruiserweight beat Morrell in the future?

Coach Jose Benavidez Sr. predicts that his son ‘Mexican Monster’ David Benavidez will go to “.put off” David Morrell in 11 days in a light heavyweight bout on February 1st on PBC on Prime Video PPV in Las Vegas.

This fight features only Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs).False“Monster, living up to the false hype he got fighting lesser opponents at 168, or if he’s real. Morel says he’s seen fighters like Benavidez and he considers him 100% “fake.”

Now, Benavidez is fighting a young fighter of the same size as him at 175, but with more power, who can be exposed by Morel (11-0, 9 KOs).

Is an exit strategy already planned?

According to Team Morel, Benavidez weighs between 215 and 220. So, if he fails against the talented Cuban on February 1st, he’s got the size to reinvent himself on the cruiserweights.

If Benavidez loses, he may need to decide if he wants to move up to cruiserweight to try and save his career in that weight class. Staying at 175 would be a mistake for him, because if he can’t beat Morel, he certainly won’t be successful against Artur Berbiev or Dmitry Bivol.

Jose Sr. is already discussing one. Exit strategyBenavidez discussing a possible move up to cruiserweight to challenge WBA and WBO champion Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez for the belt. IBF champion Jay Opetaya will have to wait his turn until he faces Zurdon in a triple belt unification. But neither of those would leave Benavidez open to a fight with him in a loss against Morel.

Even if he was fired by Morel, they would be willing to fight him because he would still be popular and would have an excuse to justify his loss. Against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, fans believed him, citing injury to explain why he performed poorly. If he loses to Morel, he can do the same thing, and people will give him a pass.

We are 100% closed with Morel. He’s a tough fighter, a young fighter. He’s a two-time world champion and he’s hungry. Jose Benavidez Sr. said to. Sean Zittel About David Morrell, who faced David Benavidez on February 1.

“We are 100% there. David (Benavidez) is 28 years old. In my mind, I think David is going to destroy him[Morel]. Let’s focus on this now. Certainly, David has big dreams. He wants to fight the winner. Who doesn’t want to fight the winner of Bivol and Berbiev? Maybe even a fight with Zurdo Ramirez at cruiserweight.

“These fights are great. Big monsters in that division, and big opportunities at that weight. Zurdo Ramirez is going to fight the other guy (IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia) for the belt, and hopefully, we’ll get a chance to do that,” Benavidez Sr. said. .
