Fans are overwhelming that the experience of David Benavidez will bring him to the victory over Cuban David Morrell on Saturday night in his slight heavyweight battle on February 1 at the T-Mobile Arena de las Vegas.
The experience is overrated. What is most important is which of these two fighters has the power, the chin and the hardness of winning. The gas deposit is also an essential factor. As we saw in Benavidez’s last struggle at 175, he faded after six rounds and punished for his career against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 37, on June 15 last year.
Gas deposit is important
This guy was not a spring chicken, but he beat Benavidez’s filling in the second half of this struggle. Therefore, resistance is more important than experience in this struggle.
If the “Mexican monster” fades against Morrell in the second half, he would not be in this situation. Morrell hits stronger than Gvozdyk, and will do much more damage. The experience will not help Benaviez take these heads or punches to Morrell’s body if he is exhausted.
“We are not afraid to fight anyone. If you pay us good money to fight the boys like that, we do it, “said Jose Benavidez Sr. Millcity Boxing About his son, David Benavidez, who paids himself well to fight against David Morrell, whom he feels that he has no experience to win.
Benavidez has more experience against the former veterans, but apart from Sparring, he has not fought the fighters with super talent to say if he has benefited enough to win this fight.
It is difficult to say if the Morrell experience in amateurs against the best in the world is superior to the older veterans and washes with which the Benavidez career curriculum is filled.
The experience may not be the key to this struggle. It may have the best skills, power and IQ. You can launch the experience out of the window and focus on the one who hits the most and is more gifted by athletically between Benavidez and Morrell.
Trap experience
Many people seem to repeat the same mistake: they focus on experience in this struggle, but they lose the most important things, such as athletic capacity, power, hardness, endurance and intelligence of the ring. These are much more important than the superficial experience, which is not what escapes, especially in the case of Benavidez.
It is a fact that has been a bully weight throughout his career until his last fight against an old gvozdyk, and he was bad in this fight. It was because of his wounded hands, as Benavidez says, or finally fought for someone his size at 175?
It would mean more if Benavidez was a real average weight and if he had fought against many of the boys in his resume when they were younger. Would Benavidez be unbeaten if he was fighting the boys of his entire career? It’s doubtful.
If you struggled with light weight or cruise weight all your career against Artur Beeterbiev, Dmitry Bivol and Jai Opteia, would it be the fighter who is today, still unbeaten or only another of the many contestants? It makes a difference when a fighter like Benavidez fights against the youngest and oldest fighters.
