Benavidez vs Morrell -- How will the fight play out?

[El_Mero]

Have a feeling Morrell is going to come out and try and overpower Benavidez. There will be some crazy rounds in the beginning with Bena getting kd (flash kd). Things will settle down mid way, Morrell will tire a lil and Benavidez will get busy. Championship rounds will be a firefight. Possible draw or Benavidez by1 or 2 rounds, but Morrell cannot be discounted and might show out and win by the same amount of rounds. A rematch will be warranted though, imho

Benny still has all kinds of weight to lose
He was just under 200 less than 30 days to fight night

Just saw an article and picture day b4 yesterday on another site, he's 8lbs away from weight and he looked to be in the best shape (for his bodybtype) he's ever been in

WBC has the 30 day before weigh in and he was big
He was 199 to be exact

Cardio ???
Gvodzyk had him open mouth and exhausted

It was his first fight at a higher weight class. Therefore, he wasn’t in the best of shape then. His conditioning should improve once he fights Morrell though.

Morrell was also fighting first time at the weight and liked much much better imo
As I said yesterday , Benny had his 30 day weigh in before the fight as per WBC rules and he was 199
He should of been much closer to the 175 pound limit

I have said my piece in the other thread about this fight. To me you can't pause, think, breath, take a break when fighting Benavidez. That's what I saw with Morrell in his last fight with, what's his name? If you are getting hit by DB you have to respond without taking too much time. So it's basically almost a non-stop back and forth fight when DB is in the ring. If you can't catch up you're done. Unless you knock him out in the early rounds.

That's a bad sign for Benavidez. Unless he is able to hurt Morrell, I think this will be a long night for Benavidez. I have Morrell by a clear-cut decision or TKO in the late rounds.

I think it's going to be a back and forth action fight until the later rounds where I see Benavidez taking control. Unanimous or late round stoppage for Benavidez.
