Turki will determine whether or not Benavidez is subsequent. If Bivol is victorious towards Beterbiev on Saturday, he reportedly desires a right away trilogy match. Individuals wish to see some new blood get an opportunity on the winner somewhat than a 3rd straight battle between the 2.
Benavidez took many heavy photographs from the Cuban Morrell, giving his face the looks of a a lot older particular person. After the battle, he appeared like he was carrying a Halloween masks. These onerous punches from Morrell did a quantity on Benavidez’s face.
If he fights Beterbiev, he can’t let him land comparable onerous blows with out getting knocked. Morrell dropped Benavidez within the eleventh spherical and beat the stuffing out of him as the competition ended within the twelfth.
Former coach Abel Sanchez doesn’t imagine Benavidez is prepared for Bivol or Beterbiev. He feels these two fighters are too “seasoned” for him at 175.
“I honestly think those two guys [Beterbiev and Bivol] are head and shoulders above those two guys [David Benavidez and David Morrell]. Bivol and Beterbiev are natural 175-pounders. Bivol is a much more technically sound fighter than Benavidez, hits a little harder than Benavidez, and is a little stronger than Benavidez. Morrell has a little way to go,” stated former coach Abel Sanchez to Struggle Hub TV.
Benavidez deserves an opportunity to attempt not less than beat Saturday night time’s rematch winner between Artur Beterbiev and Bivol. It’ll be much more thrilling having Benavidez battle both a kind of guys. He’s enjoyable to observe as a result of he brawls and is keen to take photographs to present one.
“The monster, the actual monster, Beterbiev, if he’s in a position to keep busy. He’s attending to a bit of later age now. If he’s in a position to keep busy with a excessive punch output, he beats them simple due to his energy and energy. What’s going to be a detriment to him is he’s not going to be as simple as he was as a result of he’s getting older, and possibly he’s conserving a bit of bit extra.
“Within the Bivol battle, I believed he conserved a bit of an excessive amount of [last October]. Perhaps on this one [on Saturday], he received’t. We’ll see a greater Bivol and Beterbiev on this battle, however I don’t assume Benavidez or Morrell is prepared for these two. He couldn’t harm Morrell. How is he going to harm these two guys [Beterbiev and Bivol]. The opposite guys are a bit of extra seasoned and of their realm at 175.
“He [Benavidez] wouldn’t do to Bivol what he did to Morrell,” stated Sanchez.
