“Power similar to Liston”
Decubas feels that Benavész “is not difficult to hit”, and with Morrell’s heavyweight power as Liston, he will damage it. He thinks that if Benavidez (29-0, 24 kos) can take the hard blows of Morrell for 12 rounds, that would say a lot about him, and I would choose it to overcome anyone in the semi-stated weight division.
Benavidez has talked about his plans to beat Morrell with combination of blows, which means that he will be in his pocket waiting to be beaten. It will be interesting to see which of the two combatants you can get a knockout.
“I have a lot of confidence in this fight. The type (benavidity) is made in order for Murrell. He advances. It is not bad on the defensive, but it is not difficult to hit, “said manager Luis de Cubas Mr. Sean Zittel About David Benavidez is the ideal guy for his fighter David Morrell.
“He is going to find out when he is beaten with a complete semi -marked weight (Morrell) how is it because Morrelll won (twice Olympic gold medalist Julio Cesar) La Cruz In Cuba when he was 17 years old and was 178 pounds.
“I am the one who took it to 168 because we had the opportunity of Lennox Allen (in 2020), and we took the opportunity and won the title. We tried to get it (Benavász) first in 168. We couldn’t.
“Thank God, we moved to 175, and after the last performance (against Radivoje Kalajdzic) that people saw, perhaps that is the reason why they (the Benavidness team) fought against us, which is great. I know that the guy we fight with was not 28-2. He had 29-1 because (deserved) to beat (Marcus) Browne (April 16, 2016).
If it weren’t for Morrell’s last performance against Kalajdzic, it is likely that he would not have had the fight against Benavidity. That performance seems to have given the team Benavidez the confidence that they can win. Before that, they were not showing interest, perhaps because Morrell destroyed everyone he faced.
Kalajdzic survived Morrell using the movement and showing a strong chin. If the whole fight had stopped in front of him, he would probably have been exploited as the others.
“The guy with which Benavidez fought (Oleksandr Gvozdyk) in semi -marked weight was 37 years old. He fought three times in seven years. The guy we fight with was active. The boy was a good engine. He moved and had to look for him, ”Decubas said about Kalajdzic using the movement in his fight against Morrell on August 3.
“Benavidity is not going to move. He will be right in front of us, and I have a lot of confidence. I will say a thing to fans. If Benavidez can take the blows of this child for 12 rounds, I will respect Benavés a lot, and I would favor it about any semi -stood in the world. “
If Morrell draws to Benavász, he would surprise many fans, who feel he is invincible at this time. Many of them have not been able to observe the quality of the opposition that Benavés has fought during his 12 -year career to say, ‘A-ha, that’s why Benavidity has been so good. He has been fighting the bushes.
“Holes through the walls”
“This guy (Morrell) hits holes through the walls. Has Sonny ListonAnd he is a thumper. Anyway with a single blow, he can knock you out. So, I have a lot of confidence in the fight. It is a great opportunity for us, and the child is very exciting, ”said Decubas Mr.
Morrell seems to be the greatest hitter in the semi -shed weight division. You can say when you see Morrell’s blows in his victory over Kalajdzic that has more power than Artur Beterbiev, whom many fans see as the greatest hitter. Morrell hits stronger but does not try to overwhelm his opponents as Berbiev does. He focuses more on knocking them out with individual shots.
