Veteran Gabe Rosado says David Morrell might want to “set traps” for him to harm the quantity puncher David Benavidez of their battle in 48 days on February 1st on the T-Cell Enviornment in Las Vegas. Rosado doesn’t suppose Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) can match the excessive output of Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and will get knocked out by him by getting buried with quantity.
Many followers see Benavidez as too skilled for Morrell, and his quantity makes him a nightmare. Nonetheless, the Cuban Morrell’s energy, mobility, and boxing expertise give him an enormous edge. After one battle at 175, Morrell seems to be extra suited to the division than Benavidez.
Morrell will probably be placing his WBA ‘regular’ mild heavyweight title on the road in opposition to WBC interim champion Benavidez of their headliner on PBC on Prime Video PPV. The winner of this battle will be capable of problem for the undisputed championship at 175.
Rosado’s Prediction
“David Morrell vs. David Benavidez. I favor Benavidez, but you can’t sleep on Morrell,” stated Gabe Rosado to Struggle Hub TV in regards to the February 1st match between these two fighters. “Benavidez didn’t should take this battle. Morrell was the one which wanted this battle.
“Morrell type of hit the jackpot. So, if he can win this battle, he’s there, as a result of no one was actually calling Morrell out. So, that type of exhibits what sort of canine Benavidez is. He’s like, ‘Okay, whatever. Let’s run it.’
“Nobody acts like that with Benavidez,” stated Rosado about Morrell trash-talking Benavidez throughout their face-off. “It’s going to be a firefight. They’re each going to conflict. It’s going to be a matter of who can take it as a result of they’re each going to land pictures.
This can be a nice battle for Morrell to show himself in opposition to a man that many followers really feel is a future star. Benavidez has held himself again for the final 11 years, selecting to battle at 168 moderately than transferring as much as 175, the place he has extra alternatives for fascinating fights. If he had moved as much as mild heavyweight in 2014, his profession could be additional alongside. Benavidez foolishly thought Canelo Alvarez would finally battle him, and he waited round for 10 years. What a mistake.
“I think Morrell is the bigger puncher of the two, but Benavidez gets you out with the volume,” stated Rosado. “So, what’s going to win? Is it going to be power or is it going to be volume? That’s what it’s going to come down to because I don’t think Morrell is going to be able to match Benavidez’s volume.”
There’s no guessing about who the larger puncher is between Morrell and Benavidez. It’s clearly Morrell. Might Benavidez be a much bigger puncher if he wasn’t specializing in quantity punching? Most likely, however he prefers to throw punches in bunches moderately than loading up.
The Technique: Traps
“He’s punching constantly on top of you. He don’t get tired. So, Morrell is going to have to set traps to land shots in that fight,” stated Rosado.
Benavidez does get drained. We noticed that in his final battle in opposition to Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June fifteenth. He was drained after six rounds and took many laborious punches from Gvozdyk within the second half of the competition.
