Comments Thread For: Jaime Munguia backs David Benavidez to beat David Morrell Jnr, but expects an ?exciting fight?

I think Benavidez stops Morrell. Morrell is a damn good fighter but has not fought the comp Benavidez has. Morrell has skills but I get the feeling once Benavidez lands a few good shots, Morrell will be on the back foot. He will have moments, but Benavidez takes control around the 7th and Morrell fades and eventually is stopped.

Hard to know for sure with Morrell's lack of experience, he may get way up for this one and it'll be a barnburner classic. But I have a gut feeling Benavidez makes it look easier than people think.

The reverse is true for Morrell with a lot of people. Very intriguing fight.

It will go similar to the Plant fight with the monster chasing him down early on and then having success

But I expect Morrell to get over the line a lot better than Plant did and take the decision

I recall Benny having bad stamina and it showed against Gvodzyk

Gotta take into account his amateur pedigree
That would account for another 50 fights or so

I favor Benavidez mainly because of experience. This is a big step up for Morrell but based on what I've seen he has the talent to make it a hard fight for Benavidez. I think it will be a good fight and a stern test for both. I think both deserve a lot of credit. Canelo wanted no part of either one.
