I'll never get tired watching aggressive Cuban boxers

[ninjallama]

Loving the vids recently and not specifically the boxers themselves but the editing

[ИгорьПетров-тйю]

One of the best prospects on the world! Aggressive, explosive, but very smart and technician!
Benavides in really danger

[whatthatguysays]

So everyone knows what to do with a southpaw but knowing and doing are two different things when a guy dominates lead foot position so well

[Sam-htog]

Not all great amateur records translates to professional success usually do to luck of punching power and inside game but this guys real promising

[Duel]

Its unfortunate he couldn't get a fight against Shishkin or Plant first. Jumping right in against Benavidez is a big step up.

[bigman]

Morrell is gonna give Benavidez his first L I’m callin it

Morrell actually won the youth world championships as 178 pounder at the age of 17. Same year he competed in the men's Cuban Nationals at 178 and many believed he beat the great Julio Cezar La Cruz (5 world championships and two olympic golds at 81kg and 91kg) who in my opinion is the most talented and skillful fighters of all time.
Anyway, back to my point. Morrell is big even at 175 where he was fighting at 17 years of age. He has also faced better fighters in Cuba than the pros he's fought over here as a pro. Benavidez is very good but he won't be able to bully Morrell. He'll have to think more and box more.

Great review about David Morrell Jr. Can youake One of Serhii El Flaco Bohechek.

[ecw]

I hope Morrell wins, he needs to keep his distance and use his lead hand as a defensive mechanism and to set up his left. He can't get too emotional and be drawn into a firefight with Benavidez.

[Pablo-igtx]

I would have liked him to have the chance to stay at 168lb longer than he did and see him against all the competition he could have faced there from Plant to Mbilli or Andrade .. he would have had no competition.
One of the Cuban Greats i have heard a lot of good thing about was Kid Gavilan ( who held a win over Eduardo Lausse, Rafael Merentino who were among The hardest puncher at 160lb and it is interesting to point that both could have fought at Light Heavy !! )

Mantequilla Napoles who is also Cuban and faced Monzon, a fight promoted by Alain Delon in France who did everything he could to be the best promoter he could be 😊

[zanicedavies]

A Cuban southpaw with punching power and a great amateur career?

Yep this guy is a huge problem

[alsimmonshellspawn]

Morrell has much longer arms than Benavides way better footwork and skills ring iq

[nowheels]

Who do u like for benavidezor morrrell

[shawnterrance]

morell gat a punchers chance wouldnt shock me if didnt throw alot of punches early on in the fight as much as he does

[odellsilva]

I don't like this guy but he will definitely give Benavidez his first loss for sure

[AlmightyAnt]

He doesn't go to the body. There was plenty of opportunities where he could have gone to the liver. He's also a bit wild with his punches

[jcknowz]

Sloppy. Benevidez will finish him, too much volume and experience. The way Morrell throws his left is weak, and inaccurate, very amateur. Speed is not there at all either. But he will learn from the loss
