Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Gvozdyk: David Benavidez will take over down the stretch against David Morrell

[boxingitis]

Funny bc the same thing can be said about Benavidez on those last three statistics. But I agree that if Morrell can't get Benavidez' respect early, it's not gonna be a good 2nd half of the fight him. If Benavidez worked out the kinks he had from his first fight at 175 and comes in better form, Morrell might be in for a very long night. Should be a great fight.

Agree, they were both weight bullies. Power for both will not be the same at 175. That's why I think Beterbiev Spanks them.

Lmao this is the worst take I’ve ever heard it won’t age well I promise you

Who has Morrell Beaten? Hasn't even face an ex Champion.

Young fighters are able drop weight easier. Older boxer do not. So yes, at the some point being able to lose weight gives them an advantage. They can rehydrate to a heavier weight (Haney) come in bigger fight night, and the older fighters of course have the experience.

Young fighters have a sorts of advantages. Older boxers were young once and would have benefited from the same advantages.

Older fighters have experience and have had time to refine their skills.

I hate whiny complainers.

Who's complaining dumbass, it's a "fact" that they have "that" advantage. How is it complaint?
If fights were like the old days were boxers actually fought the same weight fight night, there wouldn't be any weight advantage.(Rehydration)

If Benavidez can tak Morrell's Power for the 1st 6 rounds, it's a wrap for Morrell.

Morrell looks Slow and very Basic. His only advantage at 168 was being a weight bully, having reach advantage, and good power. But those days are over.

I don't know if it is hate or lack of knowledge.

I think Morrell`s advantage is his power and he was cracked by bigger punchers than Benavidez was. I believe Hot Rod hits harder than shot Gvozdyk.

It's not hate when they are facts.

Both Morrell and Benavidez used their ability to Rehydrate to come in heavier than their opponents.
They were bigger than their opponents at 168.

Morrell hasn't fought anybody, no single ex Champ.
Benavidez already fought Ex Champions, Direll, Plant, Lemiux, Andrade, and Olekansder. Yes they were old and past their prime, but it's better than anything Morrell has faced. Plus he has experienced Sparring Pavlic, GGG, Bivol, and Zurdo Ramirez. Guys much more accomplished than Morrell.
Benavidez is faster, throws more punches (higher volume output), better endurance, and of course Experience.

Morrell had power at 168, but vs who? Nobodies.


Give me "your" Facts.

[MulaKO]

And Benny had no power at 175
Couldn’t hurt Gvodzyk or even come close to it
Seemed like Morrell’s power did carry up against Hot Rod
Kept Hot Rod honest in that fight

No such thing as a weight bully if you can make the weight all is good.

Morrell is getting spanked. After the first few rounds it will be a methodical beat down. I actually don’t think this will be particularly competitive.

Benavidez wins by TKO

Of course there is, when you have damn near two days to rehydrate nowadays there is obviously weight bullies across all weights.

That's why you see so many of the bigger names like Canelo, Mayweather,Tank etc etc enforcing rehydration clauses...

Everyone has 2 days to rehydrate. Don’t like it, fight at a lower weight class. Can’t make the division, you’re too big/not genetically gifted enough and that’s on you.

Everyone has natural advantages and the best know how to utilise them
