The commercial angle
Lampley feels that the sport has “greater possibilities” if Benavidez (29-0, 24 kos) wins because it is a “mexicoamerican” that if the Cuban morrell (11-0, 9 kos) is victorious. That is a superficial and non -sports form Looking at a sports contest, focusing on the commercial side, but there are truths on that.
It is better for boxing if Benavidez wins, but it can be temporary. If I defeat Morrell, he faces the undisputed champion of semi -marked weight Artur Beterbiev and is crushed by him, his stock will collapse.
In addition, if Benavidez moves to the cruise weight and is destroyed by the IBF champion, Jai Opetaia, it would be the same. Then, beating Morrell will not mean much if Benavidez lacks the talent to go beyond this fight, and will need a strong chin to survive fights against Beterbiev and Opetaia because it is not exactly difficult to hit.
Morrell has Power similar to Artur BerbievAnd if Benavidez will only try to walk through his blows as he did against the smallest and older fighters in which he built his 29-0 record, he could end badly for him on Saturday night. They will arrive in Benavász with a giant spatula later and take it out of the ring in pieces and pieces.
Morrell’s opportunity
“There were other Cubans who wanted to knock people too. He (David Morrell) has power, and Power Southpaw is a rare fact in sport for any reason. Left -handed pays often end as technicians, and conventional combatants are more likely to come Sean ZittelSpeaking about Cuban left -handed, David Morrell, before his fight against David Benavidez on Saturday.
“He (Morrell) has a powerful correct hook, and has real skills. It has a tremendous platform here to show what you can do. It is not the favorite. Benavidez is the favorite, but I think that if the fight were in Havana (Cuba), it would be the favorite. So, I think it’s a great opportunity for Morrell.
“I think Benavidez can become a giant star. I think he has greater possibilities than Morrell because he is a Mexico American. That is a bigger audience. I do not support me in either, but I believe that the sport will benefit if Benavidez organizes a Benavidez type show.
Benavés can become a giant star, but again, it may not last long if you choose to fight the best instead of diverting them as many carefully packaged fighters do. Beterbiev will probably knock out ‘the Mexican monster’ Benavász and destroy it as he did to Callum Smith. It is revealing that Benavidez and his father focus on the CMB cruise champion and the WBO Gilberto Ramírez instead of the FIB Jai Opetaia champion.
That suggests that they know their limitations and do not want to mess with Opetaia. Some believe that Benavász crouched Morrell during the last three years and just wanted to fight him now because he did not look good in his previous fight in his debut in 175 against Radivoje Kalajdzic.
If the Benavász team dodged Morrell all these years, they are likely to do the same with Opetaia. Benavész wants Artur Beterbiev because he is 40 years old, and there is a lot of money to fight him from Saudi Arabia. Will earn a lot of money and have an incorporated excuse If you lose to Bederbiev. “I struggled with the best semi -marked weight on the planet.” It would be like the excuse of the injured hand that Benavidez used after his low performance in his heavyweight debut against Oleksandr Gvozdyk last June.
“There are areas where Morrell can have significant advantages,” Lampley said. “Incentives are larger for benavidity. He changes his life more than Morrell changes if Benavidez can win this spectacularly, and he knows it. So, I think that because your dreams can be bigger, your horizons can be bigger, and I can favor Benavész to win the fight. “
The “bully of weight” debate
Again, Lampley focuses on the commercial side of things instead of the sports side in the Benavidez vs. Morrell struggle. With luck, there will be no controversial decision involved in this fight, with the fighter on the side Benavidez gave a victory over Morrell after being dominated. That would tarnish any victory that is given to benavidity.
“I have not seen a deficiency that I can see as a clear potential for Morrell to bother him and win the fight, but it could appear on Saturday night,” Lampley said, reacting to the fact that they are told that many fans see Benavész as ‘Bully of weight because he has been fighting the smallest and older fighters in much of his career.
