Benavidez Mr. Confidence: David “will drown” Morrell on February 1

José Benavidez Mr. says that his son, David Benavidez, receives credit from fans after he “drowned” the semi-marked ‘regular’ weight champion of the AMB, David Morrell, on February 1 at the T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas.

José Father feels that his son, ‘The Mexican Monster’, has not been given the credit he deserved for his long 12 -year career, which includes victories against Caleb Plant, Demetrius Andrade, Oleksandr Gvozdyk and David Lemieux.

The Benavidity curriculum lacks a characteristic victory over an elite fighter. He has always had a huge advantage of size over his opponent due to his decision to fight in a division below his size for 11 years. José Padre and David seem They have a chip on their shoulders And they seem bitter despite their success.

“Drowning” to the Cuban star

Benavidez finally rose to 175 and faces his first credible opponent, which is not older or much smaller than him, in Morrell (11-0, 9 kos). No one knows how this fight will result.

“He was an amateur world champion and two very decorated divisions. Then, hopefully, we will get the credit to defeat a legitimate fighter, ”said José Benavidez Mr. fight About the former Cuban amateur star David Morrell who has the experience that a fighter with many professional fights would have.

“We have our game plan about what we are going to do with this type (Morrell). We will take it to deep water and try to drown it. Let’s see if you know how to swim. Amateur and professional, it is a bit different. But you are fighting David Benavidez, ‘the Mexican monster’.

“It is not an easy fight for any of us. Neither for him, nor for us. We have to demonstrate our worth. We want to make history. This is the type of fights we want. Fights that will motivate you and make you learn and improve more and more, ”said Benavidez Mr.

For David Benavidez to make history, he will need to overcome the winner of the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol 2. He will also need to go up to the cruise weight and defeat Jai Opetaia. That could be too much for Benavidez to achieve it, and that assuming that he is victorious against Morrell.

“When we fight with ‘Boo Boo’ (Demetrius Andrade), many people said that David was going to be exposed and it looks like an amateur. Now they say the same of the Cuban. ‘Oh my God, it’s so fast. He is this. He is that, ”said José Mr.

Most boxing fans felt that Demetrius Andrade, 36, was too old, inactive and small to beat Benavidez, much younger and much larger. The night of the fight, Benavidez looked like a cruise weight inside the ring, and there was no way that Andrade, much smaller, won.

“I’m glad to hear that because it motivates us. Even David Morrell says that David fights like a robot. Walk and fight like a robot. But forget that it is an AI robot, so you will not see the blows come.

“Many people say it is a 50-50 fight. It does not seem to me. In my opinion, we are going to destroy this type. David is at another level, ”said Benavidez Father about his son.

The hope of a father

José Padre can take this defeat very bad if his son, Benavidez, loses against Morrell because this is the last of his children who has a real career.

He has put his hopes that David Benavidez becomes a star, but has not happened, since he has been in the game for 12 years. That’s when many fighters fail and leave the sport.

The promising career of José Benavidez JR has crumbled since his defeat against Terence Crawford in 2018. If David loses against Morrell, that’s all for José SR, unless he can recover from defeat, which may not be easy because The 175 pound division is stacked.
