The business angle

Lampley believes that sport has “bigger possibilities” if Benavidez (29-0, 24 kos) wins because it is a “Mexican American” that if the Cuban Morrell (11-0, 9 kos) is victorious. That is a superficial and non -sports way Look at an athletic, business -centered contest, but there are truths.

It is better for boxing if Benavidez wins, but it can be temporary. If Morrell defeats, then he faces the heavy and indisputable weight champion Artur Beeterbiev and is crushed by him, his stock will sink.

On the other hand, if Benavidez goes to the weight of cruises and is destroyed by the champion of the IBF Jai Opetaia, it would be the same. Thus, beat Morrell will not mean much if Benavidez does not have the talent to go beyond this struggle, and he will need a strong chin to survive the fights against Beterbiev and it was not exactly difficult to hit.

Morrell has Power similar to Artur BeeterbievAnd if Benavidez will only try to walk for his punches in the way he did it against the smaller and older fighters who built his 29-0 record, he could end badly for him on Saturday night. Then they will meet Benavidez with a giant spatula and remove it from the ring in pieces and pieces.

Morrell opportunity

“There were other Cubans who wanted to remove people. He (David Morrell) has power, and Power Southpaw is a rare event in sport for any reason. Southpaws often ends as technicians, and conventional fighters have more. Object to coming powerful powerers, “said Jim Lampley to Sean ZittelSpeaking of Cuban Southpaw, David Morrell, ahead of his fight against David Benavidez on Saturday.

“Has (Morrell) a powerful right hook and has real skills. He has a tremendous platform here to show what he can do. It’s not favorite. Benavidez is the favorite, but I think if the fight was in Havana (Cuba ), would be the favorite.

“I think Benavidez can become a giant star. I think he has greater possibilities than Morrell because he is a Mexican American. It’s a bigger audience. I don’t take root either, but I think the sport will benefit if Benavidez raises A BENAVIDEZ TYPE PROGRAM.

Benavidez can become a giant star, but it may not last much if he decides to fight the best instead of turning them in the way many fighters do carefully. Beeterbiev will probably eliminate “the Mexican monster” Benavidez and destroy it as if Callum Smith. He is saying that Benavidez and his father are focusing on the WBA and Wbo champion of Gilberto Ramirez cross, instead of the IBF champion Jai Opetaia.

This suggests that they know their limitations and do not want to wrap with Opetia. Some believe that Benavidez took Morrell for the last three years and just wanted to fight him because he did not look good in his previous struggle in his 175 debut against Radivoje Kalajdzic.

If Team Benavidez dodged Morrell for all these years, he will probably do the same with Opetia. Benavidez wants Artur Beeterbiev because he is 40 years old, and there is a lot of money to make him fight Saudi Arabia. Will make a lot of money and have an integrated excuse If you lose Beeterbiev. “I fought against the best heavy weight on the planet.” It would be like the excuse of the injured hand that Benavidez used after his bad performance in his debut in Light Heavyweight against Oleksandr Gvozdyk last June.

“There are areas where Morrell can have significant advantages,” said Lampley. “The incentives are larger for Benavidez. He changes his life more than he changes Morrell if Benavidez can win it spectacularly and he knows. Therefore, I think that because their dreams can be larger, their horizons can be larger and I can favor Benavidez to win the struggle. “”

The debate about the “bully”

Again, Lampley focuses on the business of things instead of the sports side of the Benavidez vs. Morrell Fight. Hopefully there is no controversial decision in this struggle, with the A-Side Benavidez fighter who gave a victory over Morrell after being dominated. This would tarnish any victory in Benavidez.

“I have not seen a shortcoming that I can see as a clear potential for Morrell to disturb and win the fight, but it could appear on Saturday night,” said Lampley, reacting to say -many fans see Benavidez as a “Bully weight because he has fought against the smaller and older fighters for much of his career.
