Comments Thread For: By changing boxing's script, David Benavidez believes he can be its leading man

[Tag, You're Hit]

Benavidez is gonna smoke Morrell, y'all. I like Morrell and think he's a really good, strong boxer. But, he doesn't have the experience and tools yet to handle the style of Benavidez, who is gonna out-quick and out-work Morrell with angles and punches in bunches. Morrell's processing is too slow, as evidenced in his last fight against Hot Rod. Though they fight very differently (especially Benavidez), this style match-up reminds me of Bud vs Spence. Like Bud, Benavidez is faster, more athletic, slicker, and unpredictable where, like Spence, Morrell is slower, more basic, more stationary, and sticks to fundamentals. And that will be the difference in the fight. Props to both young men for getting this fight on.

It may have been precautionary and not like Aidos. Results of an MRI earlier that year prevented Agbeko from fighting or getting licensed in NV, but then he got a second opinion and was cleared to fight Morrell.

Yes, I do remember that, and I was very vocal here about the fight even taking place given Agbeko's background.
