Will David Benavidez fight David Morrell?

[RENE JUNIOR]

Morrell has been very vocal and pushing for a fight with Benavidez.
After his last win, he called out Benavidez to the ring, David didn't respond, much less get into the ring to faceoff (which would hav been great!).

It is out of character to see Benavidez not respond when Morrell asked him to step up in the ring.

Benavidez has also been REALLY quiet lately.

Is he just enjoying the Plant victory and taking it easy? Will he accept a Morrell fight or back off and fight lower tier comp. next?

What do you think?

I dont see why he wouldnt. Alvarez has his weak mando this weekend, then gonna get his a$$ kicked again in the rematch vs Bivol. So it would make sense for this fight to happen this year.

Let's just stop this ducking nonsense, shall we? Didn't Benavidez called Morrell's bluff months ago? Why skip that part?
Fake fans agreed it's not good to rush Morrell. And now when Benavidez is taking his time, it's ducking.

Real fans want this fight. Fake fans are the over-protective ones who don't believe in rushing fights.

I agree man.
Benavidez has been REALLY quiet though, not sure why, making me want to doubt Videz steps to Morrell.

Rush Morrell!!?? LOL!!
Morrell is the one calling out Videz a whole lot lately.
You are putting the ducking title on dude not me.
Anyways, we'll see what Videz does for his next move

I think the fight is in the works. Morrell Jr used the platform after his fight, to promote the benavidez fight, millions were watching so it was the perfect moment to get things rolling. If they don't fight next, is not going to be because ducking, from neither one of them.

Well said.
My thing on all this is why didn't Videz respond and stayed quiet. It was the perfect opportunity to promote the fight had Videz stepped in the rign and responded.
But hey, only Videz knows why

Easy answer: Benavidez is looking for the big money payoff with Canelo. Why commit to Morrell so easily? It’s risky, but I can see Benny taking the challenge if Alvarez blows him off. We can only hope. These young bucks would make for a great fight!

Its the other way around imo. Morrell isnt know, Benavidez has finally made a name for himself and is in the drivers seat as the #2 giy in the division. Morrell needs to push Al and Co., since they share the same promoter/manager

Its a high risk/low reward for Benavidez, BUT if he wins he has MORE of a case of why Saul needs to fight him

You could be right because Canelo threw some crumbs of hope when he mentioned Benavidez's name in a positive light. Canelo appreciated David's performance in the the Plant fight, which probably surprised the father and son team. But I don't think the Canelo fight is happening for Benavidez's any time soon. He could be waiting for nothing.
