Andy Cruz predicts a knockout victory for David Morrell in his fight next Saturday night against David Benavidez on February 1st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 2020 Olympic gold medalist Cruz sees Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) as “similar” to him in the way he relaxes and has fun.
Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) appears to be all angry, angryand nervous about his fight with Morrell. Watching ‘The Mexican Monster’ you can tell he’s worried about this fight, knowing he might lose and that the hard work he’s put into his long career would go to waste. He knows the end is near and does his best to intimidate Morrell with threatening behavior.
This is a fight Benavidez never wanted, ignoring Morrell’s repeated calls since 2022, and it’s easy to see why. Benavidez was making a lot of money in the last five years, fighting bigger, smaller fighters than him and in his late stages. Taking Morrell would end that cash gravy train he’s been enjoying.
Cruz’s prediction
“What I can say about Morrell is that he is a typical Cuban fighter. Always smiling, and always dancing. I see him very much like me, always joking and always dancing. Maybe it’s even worse than me,” said Andy Cruz mediaanalyzing the David Benavidez vs David Morrell fight for next Saturday February 1st.
“In terms of his focus for this fight, I see him very focused. It’s going to be a tough fight, but I think he’s going to put on a good show,” Cruz continued of David Morrell. “I see him winning. I don’t just see him winning. I see him winning by knockout.”
The fans in the United States are rooting for Benavidez, they see him as great, and they won’t be happy if Morrell exposes him as a “fake.” It’s never nice when fans see their heroes exposed as sims, as they feel stupid and cheated when that happens.
They will jump off Benavidez’s sinking ship after he loses, and he will be abandoned as he sinks beneath the waves.
Fans will mourn the loss of Benavidez in this fight. He has always been considered the No. 1 fighter in the 168-pound division, believing he could beat Canelo Alvarez. However, they have never stopped to examine his fighting style and the weak opposition he has faced throughout his 12-year career. This lack of critical thinking is troubling.
It’s obvious, watching Benavidez’s last fight against Oleksandr Gvozydk, that he is fool’s gold and was never the fighter that gullible fans had thought.
When you compare the performance to Benavidez’s weak resume, it’s obvious that he’s another example of a manufactured fighter made to look great fighting outside of his natural weight class against bigger and smaller fighters.
