“There was a whole lot of names on the desk,” David Benavidez acknowledged on social media Tuesday, “however I needed to provide my followers one of the best struggle potential. I reached out to David Morrell and his group to make this occur and we obtained the contract achieved. This struggle actually gonna be a banger!!!! 2 of one of the best within the division and a couple of titles on the road LFG!!!!! Date and placement to be introduced shortly.” No doubt, it will make for an fascinating struggle if confirmed true, for it’s going to characteristic two of the most important hitters within the sport squaring off.
Whereas it’s a provided that followers would nonetheless like to see Benavidez tackle boxing’s greatest star in Canelo Alvarez, it’s simply not going to occur any time quickly, if in any respect. Credit score Benavidez for transferring on with out bitterness. He’s obtained a profession of his personal to think about, and it’s apparent he’s not all in favour of spending it in Canelo’s shadow. Additionally, ought to this struggle change into a actuality, it will be extremely anticipated by the game’s fanbase. And one of the simplest ways to change into Canelo huge is to emerge victorious in struggle after struggle in opposition to rock exhausting competitors – and Benavidez is doing simply that if he’s set to fulfill Morrell within the ring.
At 26 years of age, the 11-0 Morrell may not have an in depth file, however in a 5 12 months profession the Minnesotan (by the use of Cuba) has stopped all however two of his opponents inside the distance. The person’s final struggle was again in August, the place he bested Radivoje Kalajdzic by unanimous resolution on the Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov undercard. “I would like everyone to see that I’m one of the best,” he’s quoted as saying on the Premier Boxing Champions web site. If he’s, he’s on his strategy to proving it by taking over the fearsome Benavidez.
In fact Benavidez himself wants no introduction to struggle followers. Not everybody is taken into account by some to be prevented by Canelo, in spite of everything. And whereas it could be ridiculous to accuse Canelo of ducking anybody (have a look at the person’s resume for proof of his willingness to struggle harmful opposition), the purpose is obvious – the 29-0 Benavidez is a drive to be reckoned with. He’s fought powerful guys, slick guys and just about anybody in between and has by no means misplaced. He’s additionally completed all however 5 of his opponents inside the distance.
Each fighters, in brief, are nothing if not harmful.
