Light heavyweight David Morrell is questioning the abilities of undefeated counterpart David Benavidez before their February 1 fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

If January has been slow (and it has), that's all about to change in February, writes Eric Raskin

David Benavidez and David Morrell do not like one another, which Benavidez says will be a factor when they meet next month in Las Vegas.

David Morrell will be taking a big step up in his level of competition when he faces David Benavidez on February 1. But Morrell says the reverse is also true

"Do you ever see Benavidez with a defensive move?" asks David Morrell

The light heavyweight division will, on February 1, welcome the arrival of a major showdown that doesn’t include Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol or Saul “Canelo” Alvarez when David Morrell takes on David Benavidez inside the Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena.

Kalvin Henderson, a former opponent of David Morrell, has tipped David Benavidez to defeat Morrell when the pair fight on February 1

David Benavidez has tipped Dmitry Bivol to beat Artur Beterbiev in their light heavyweight title rematch, which is slated to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 22.

As the fight between David Benavidez and David Morrell Jnr begins to heat up, one thing is certain to follow: tension. Benavidez believes Morrell is showing signs of fear as they prepare for their Feb. 1 clash.
