Morrell’s raw power

Shields does not know what Round Morrell (11-0, 9 kos) Ko Benavidez (29-0, 24 kos), but feels that will happen because his power will be too much for him. Benavidez has similar ideas, thinking that he will hurt Morrell and score a knockout.

Morrell has always done well against the fighters who came to him seeking to exchange, and Benavidez is made to measure for his style.

“I was calm, but I was a bit worried about the exchange between Benavész and Decubas Mr. It was not Benavidity. It was more than Decubas Mr., I wanted to make sure it was fine, ”said David Morrell to Fight Hub TVDiscussing the exchange between David Benavidez and his manager, Luis Decubas Mr., during the final press conference of Thursday.

“I don’t care if it’s by decision or knockout. What matters to me is that I will win, and I will be the one that comes out at the top. “

“You have to do both. You cannot fight Benavidez in a way. You also have to fight him in his own game, ”said Morrell coach Ronnie Shields to Sean Zittel About Morrell that needs to fight by backward and moving against Benavidez.

Morrell will have no choice but to fight and box Benavász if he wants to win or survive 12 rounds without being knocked out. Benavidez is a pressure fighter. That is in your DNA, and will not leave even for a second in that fight. We saw that in his last fight against the greatest and most strong Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15 last year.

Benavész constantly pressed the former Samipesado Weight Champion of more powerful Gvozdyk and made him move to prevent him from stopping. Gvozdyk lacked the gasoline tank, youth or the willingness to stand firm or attack regularly, which allowed Benavidez to gain almost all the round without opposition.

“The fact that he (Morrell) has 11 fights does not mean that you don’t have the experience of doing so,” Shields said when asked what happens if Benavidez wants to drag Morrell to deep waters in the posterior rounds. “That is why we have the gym. That is why we train every day for this thing. “

Morrell has the experience in fans, but has not fought anyone in professionals like Benavés, and will place it under the gun for twelve exhausting rounds. One way to deal with the pressure of Benavidez is to go for an early knockout because he will be there to be beaten.

Morrell has shown power to the knocked combatants who have never been arrested in their careers. Benavész has not fought against anyone yet with the type of power Morrell has, and could bend once he begins to be hit hard on the head and body.

Although he likes to call himself a “monster”, he is human, and his curriculum is thin with the talented opposition. Morrell and his manager, Luis Decubas Mr., are right that Benavés has fought for many major and smaller combatants with one foot outside the door to retirement. His coach/dad, José Benavidez Mr., has protected him well all these years, selectively combining it to build his 29-0 record.

They had hoped to convince Canelo Álvarez to fight against them, but he was not deceived. He saw the false record and was not deceived. It is the same part that Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia made. Fight against the opposition Pelusa, builds a plastic record and then angle for a large payment day against Canelo. It’s cunning, but it works.

Morrell de Ko, says Shields

“He will feel power when he is close, and he will feel power when Morrell is at a distance. So, we feel that we have the advantage in both directions. I really think Morrell will knock him out. I don’t know when, and I don’t care when. It’s just my instinct that we’re going to knock him out, ”said Shields.

Morrell can knock Benavész, but he will need to fight more aggressively than in his last fight against the ‘Hot’ Radivoje Kalajdzic for him to do it. In that fight, Morrell did not press enough and remained at the top of Radivo to obtain the knockout. He hurt him several times but it wasn’t after him.
