Comments Thread For: David Benavidez celebrates his birthday in a unique way

[JeBron Lamez]

He’s the heavy favorite to win though….

Yeah, I meant by the guys he's about to fight & tbh I'm taking him and his dad's word for that.

I saw his last fight, was not impressed. Everyone looks impressive fighting tomato cans.

So Benavidez sparred GGG, Bivol, and Zurdo Ramirez and I'm going to be impressed by Morrell?

Let's see you fight literally anyone on Morrell's resume and look impressive... Couch potatoes calling guys who won Olympic medals tomato cans SMH.

He doesn't need to be frustrated to walk into heavy shots

lol True.

[steeve steel]

What big shots?

Like the one he got from GGG when GGG was in his prime and Benavidez was only 15.

We really don't know how good Morrell is, cause he hasn't beaten anyone. It's like Ennis looked phenomenal before facing Karen.

Well.. for one, sparring is sparring, and sparring stories are what they are. But I do get what you're saying, and I don't disagree, it is true Morrell hasn't been tested. Not sure the comparison with Boots is relevant (Boots did beat Karen twice, the first time more than the second, and he could have had an off night..). This said, Benevidez's power isn't the same at 175. He was always a weight bully, and the fact he couldn't get rid of a retired Gvoz*** is not reassuring coming in to face Morrell. Thus the odds of -150 for Benevidez

Benavidez never had power. He just never stops punching.

Just saying people look impressive until they fight someone worthy, just Like GGG look like monster until he fought Jacobs. Morrell might look great, but really hasn't face anyone. Ennis looked great until he fought Karen. Saying once you step up, your mystic is exposed.

And what a great boxer has benavidez faced?

Plant is better than anything Morrell has fought. Plant a least was a champion at his weight class. Ennis and Morell haven't even faced an ex champion from their weight class.

Benavidez has never had power. It's his volume punching that affects his opponents. Morrell was also a weight bully and was able to KO the tomato cans he faced. That's the reason they are facing each other because they know they are both coming up from 168, before they get expose by the other 175s.
Any of them can win. I mean Mungia lost to a guy that had 4 KOs by KO.

If I had spend all my life training like they have, I could have. If many people or athletes spend their time training this guys would be in the shadows. I mean even Joe Smith was a Chamipion. Venado Loped started boxing at 20 and became world Champion. Maravilla Martinez started boxing at 20 and became world Champion.
Adnrew Cancio was a world champion while working full time.
