Comments Thread For: David Benavidez is a different kind of monster

[CubanGuyNYC]

Benavidez didn't take the nickname "Mexican Monster", Mike Tyson gave it to him.

Ok. Either way, the name was born of alliteration; and Benny is living up to it.

I was kind of thinking the same thing as I was watching the fight. His defense was incredible and he seemed so much improved from his last outing against Gvozdyk. Morrell clearly had a lot more power than Gvozdyk but he had enormous trouble landing cleanly on Benavidez. It was a great a performance last night. After that fight I can see him giving Bivol all he can handle because of his style, but I still think Arthur is the monster in a slug fest.

Bro morrel is a SNIPER. I watched his whole career I’ve never seen him so ineffective and inefficient. Major props to benevidez. I think he’d have a tougher fight with Bivol than beterbiev based on the style. If this benny shows up I can see him knocking beterbiev out

No doubt, Benny is the real deal. He put the brakes on the Morrell hype train. Sure, DM is good, but he just hasn't been in the pro ranks long enough to get the hype that he was getting.

Benny may be able to outpoint Beterbiev, if he's absolutely on his "A" game, but he ain't knocking him out. And there's going to be plenty of firepower with skill and experience coming back at him from Artur.

Morrell has never faced anyone nearly as good as Benavidez. Now that he has, the Cuban David has a lot of information to work with. Morrell obviously has some improvements to make. I believe — or at least I certainly hope — that he has it in him to evolve. The tools are clearly there. I’m glad these two warriors ended the fight and promotion on good terms. I wasn’t crazy about the way my guy was handling himself in the lead up to the fight, but I definitely approve of the way he’s behaved in defeat. He’ll be back.

You can clearly see him slowing down and a benavidez fight would probably be close to a year away

You do know he had surgery and wasn’t 100 % ???
And still beat that so-called master boxer mind you when Shakur does it , it’s running but not Bivol lmao
Watch the rematch and what will transpire with 100% rehabilitated Artur

Beterbievs been down before a couple times. Benevidez been down too but less significant KDs. I agree plenty of skill and power coming back from artur it would be an incredible fight. Artur is an absolute machine but Father Time is undefeated and benevidez is really coming into his own. 175 and 154 are the most exciting competitive division at the moment imo

I think they were expecting benevidez to slow down as the rounds wore on but the opposite happened and by the time he adjusted it was too late.

Morrell has all the physical tools, but his ring IQ needs work. In his defense, he’s simply not had enough pro rounds to learn the game to a great extent. Lots of available data from the Benavidez fight, if Morrell is smart enough to use it.

David Benavidez real good solid fighter all around, but he ain't no mexica monster in the light heavyweigh division. Benavidez landed 40.5% of his shots and Morrell landed 27.5% of his shots. So Benavidez may have landed more, but Morrells shots had more impact
