Late surge
Writing the judges’ score cards, Morrell fought like a man who owned the tenth round and exhausted the exhausted “Mexican monster” Benavidez in the T-Mobile Arena.
Morrell knocked Benavidez on the 11th day and ate shots on the 12th day. Morrell stood up a little too much at the end of the 11th, when he knocked Benavidez after the bell sound, but wanted to finish.
Benavidez beat him very much around the face and had nothing at his shots. He struck me like a middleweight, and it is clear that he did not switch well to the £ 175 division. You are forced to win in quantity, and this is a difficult method in this weight class because it will make a punishment as tonight.
As Benavidez looked like tonight, he will not defeat the undisputed, heavyweight champion, Artur Betterbiev, if this is the one he face. Beterbiev strikes too hard and opposes it inside.
Morrell’s regret
“We were well prepared, but it didn’t go on the way expected. The only thing is to learn from it, move on and be better next, ”said David Morrell to the media post -combat press conference After losing David Benavidez on Saturday night.
“That was one of my mistakes where I may have gone a little late. I went to the last three rounds. Maybe I should have done this earlier, ”Morrell said of the mistakes made in the fight.
“This played a definite role in the result of the fight,” Morrell said when he was asked that he had been hurt by his lack of experience in the match against Benavidez.
“I’m going to say that it played a role in the fight, but I’m proud of my guy. This was the 12th struggle. We’ll take this away and keep going next time, ”said Ronnie Shields from coach Morrell.
