Coach Kenny Ellis thinks David Benavidez will “confuse” David Morrell with volume and crush him after that. Ellis believes that Benavidez will become more dangerous as the rounds go on.
Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and WBA ‘regular’ Champ Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) meet in 15 days on PBC on Prime Video PPV on February 1st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Vegas.
Ellis predicts that Benavidez won’t take long to get to know Morrell like Caleb Plant because he’s a good boxer. Plant looked very small in the ring compared to the bigger, lighter, heavier Benavidez, and he didn’t have the strength to make him come back.
Morrell’s power
“As long as Morrell’s belt didn’t touch Benavidez. The belts are very heavy and they can hurt you a lot if they hit you right, and it would have stopped the whole fight,” said trainer Kenny Ellis. MillCity Boxingis talking about David Morrell throwing his WBA ‘regular’ light heavyweight belt at David Benavidez after being pushed by him during their face-off at the gym in Miami on December 17th.
“In this fight, David Morrell has the knockout power he can handle, and he can handle Benavidez. I just think ‘The Mexican Monster’ is going to overwhelm him with everything. He’s going to knock him down because the Mexican Monster is getting stronger and stronger as the rounds go on.
“He’s got a good punch, but I don’t see Morrell taking him out because he doesn’t have a place to set up. He doesn’t have a pause between punches to set up, because once the Mexican monster starts, he’s going to make you uncomfortable. He’s not going to let you do anything,” Ellis said.
Benavidez pushed Morrell in the gym, so he threw his belt at him. It wasn’t like Morrell dropped his belt for no reason. He did this because Benavidez pushed him hard when he refused to shake his hand.
Morrell can punch, but he will be forced to fight Benavidez because he will chase him around the ring. This could help Morrell as he likes to move and then land hard punches against incoming opponents. He catches them as they walk forward. If he nails Benavidez with a solid shot, he can knock him down.
“It’s possible,” Ellis said when asked if Morrell could hit Benavidez so hard that his punches aren’t as high as they should be because he’s afraid of being hit by the Cuban. Anything can happen, but I’m excited about ‘The Mexican Beast.’
It is unlikely that Benavidez will change his way of burying his opponents if Morrell hits him hard. If he focuses on throwing ‘The Mexican Monster’ to the head, it won’t work because he has the power to counter punch. However, I had never seen Benavidez get so rocked by a fighter with superior power.
Oleksandr Gvozdyk had great power, but he didn’t throw hard enough punches. He often pushed his shots, tried not to get tired, and focused on boxing. That performance allowed Benavidez to amass a huge lead through eight rounds. It was too late when Gvozdyk entered the race, and he had to knock. The only real puncher Benavidez fought was David Lemieux, who was old and over the hill when he fought.
“I like Morrell, though. I think (Caleb) Chomera is a better boxer than Morrell. I don’t think it’s going to take long for Benavidez to recognize him, support him, and do what he’s doing. At the same time, Morrell has the power of one punch that can change things and slow things down. But and rocked by ‘The Mexican Monster,’” Ellis said.
Caleb Plant tried to fight Benavidez inside, and took a lot of punishment in the second half of the fight. In the beginning, Caleb did well, and beat him to fifth place. Morrell won’t fight Benavidez inside, but if he does, he showed in his fight with Hot Rod that he has a lot of power inside.
