David Morrell says the ‘Mexican Monster’ persona that David Benavidez is a false identity and that he is “A fat little chicken.” WBA ‘always’ light heavyweight champion Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) promises to “knock out” Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) to expose him as a fake in the light of day.

Morrell vs. Benavidez will headline his 12th fight in 15 days on February 1st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will air on PBC on Prime Video PPV. Benavidez will have his long-time WBC 175-lb belt on the line which he recently captured against Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15th last year.

Monster Faked?

This fight will show if Benavidez is as good as he and his fans think he is or if he is fools gold, who has had unsuspecting fans fooled all along. They want Benavidez to replace Canelo Alvarez so bad they won’t look him in the eye to see he’s been fighting ham & eggers his entire career. Fans want Benavidez to be their newest champion so much so that they don’t want to acknowledge the flaws and the fact that it’s not the real deal.

“Are you the King?” I’m coming for you. Get out of here,” said David Morrell PPV.comhe’s talking about David Benavidez, who has been putting on airs like he’s the top dog in the 175-lb division but he doesn’t have any reliable wins and looks atrocious to start at light heavyweight.

“I have everything.” Speed, power, defense, attack, legs that move. I have everything. I don’t know why people call it ‘The Beast.’ Bomb. Going down 100%. I promise you, I’m going to get rid of him,” Morrell said.

“‘The Mexican Beast,’ everything is false. He is what we call in Cuba, ‘Little Chicken.’ Benavidez is not like me,” Morrell said. “In Cuba, we used to take his lunch money. A fat kid like that. I don’t want to say I’m a poor kid, but I mean, man, it’s different. The hunger that the Cuban people have. I would venture to say that very few have. I have been waiting for this fight for a long time. Right now, it’s very difficult. “

Fans who were mentally awake saw from watching Benavidez’s last fight against 37-year-old Oleksandr Gvozdyk that he was not the fighter they thought he was. He worked the fight, getting beaten in the second half.

Benavidez was injured in the 12th year, and luckily it didn’t happen earlier in the round because Gvozdyk lights him up like a candle. That was hard to see.

Benavidez’s excuses, since he’s blaming his terrible performances on hand injuries, don’t pass the laugh test. He wasn’t the same guy now that he was fighting where he should have been from the beginning of his career at 175, and he couldn’t fight a bigger guy.

Am I coming?

“I’m going out there, fighting for my life, and they’re trying to take everything away from me,” David Benavidez said of Morrell. “When I look at David Morrell, I think, ‘His team, his dog, his cat, and whoever’s there.’ My main job is to beat the f*** out of him, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

What is Benavidez saying? Why are they mentioning Morrell’s dog and cat? This sounds like paranoia for him to include his pets as part of his reasons for wanting to beat him. I mean, ‘The Mexican Monster’ has the toughest opponent in his career, his real test is his size, smaller than him, and with more power.

Benavidez needs to show that he is real and not just a liar who won all these years by throwing himself down to fight a class heavier than his big frame and picking on older guys. If he loses this fight to Morrell, it just means that he was a liar, and his whole career was just a lie.
