Coach Ronnie Shields says that David Benavidez’s struggle against David Morrell will help him defeat the undeniable light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, if he still has the four titles after his probable revenge match against Artur Beterbiev.
Shields considers a fight between Dmitry Bivo and Benavidez as a “50-50”, but many fans give David the advantage in this fight because of his combination. Benavidez also has youth and tenacity on his side. Bivol is 34 years old, and it seemed to be recently covered in his revenge match with Beterbiev when he was under pressure from two to seven laps.
Benavidez’s “The Mexican Monster” ability to resist the shots of the talented Cuban Morrell (11-1, 9 KB), which strikes much stronger than Bivol, will help him prepare for this shock. Benavidez will be transferred by Bivo for a trilogy match against the former undisputed heavyweight champion Betebiev.
“I am thinking soon. He is young, he must therefore return. I would love to see him fight in the coming months, “coach Ronnie Shields told coach Combination About David Morrell. “Once I spoke to the powers in place, let them know that this child is a fighter and that he must be back.
“Many people have seen a big fighter against David Benavidez. It was a big fight, and with a little more experience, I think he could have won the fight, “said Ronnie about Morrell. “We feel good in what he has done and where he is right now. I think we have to recover it as soon as possible.
Morrell’s power
It is important that Morrell does not stay outside the ring too long after this loss, because he will lose a lot of momentum in his career. Many fighters tend to stay outside the ring after obtaining a big salary like the one Morrell obtained, and their careers descend. If Morrell can fight a few times in 2025, he will be able to challenge a world title in one of Riyadh’s cards.
“Absolutely,” said Shields when he was asked if Morrell was in the first three hardest pumpers in the 175 LB division. “He can hit. All light heavy goods vehicles will see, and they will feel that. Without a doubt, “said Shields to find out if Morrell helped Benavidez prepare for Dmitry Bivol.
Morrell could be the largest perforator in the light heavyweight division for simple blows. Artur Beterbiev is considered to be the hardest puncher, but when you look at the blows he landed against Dmitry Bivo, they were not at the level because those with whom Morrell hit Benavidez. Morrell and Beterbiev share a common opponent at Radivoje Kalajdzic. Morrell’s punches looked harder. The difference was that Artur attacked Kalajdzic more tirelessly, which is why he knocked out in the fifth round in 2019.
“Fight 50-50”
“I think David Morrell has shown that he was a real fighter. David Benavidez is one of the best fighters in the world. He knew we are going there, and I think we have shown enough where people will say: “Hey, they will have to face this child”.
“So everyone knows David Morrell, and everyone knows David Benavidez. These guys, they will meet again. Certainly. This is a fight I want to see, “said Shields about a fight between Benavidez and Bivol. “I think it’s a 50-50 fight.
“Benavidez is a really intelligent guy, and he can manage himself inside this ring, but also bivo. I can’t wait for the fight. If David Morrell can fight or two, he can fight the winner. This is the plan, “said Shields that Morrell obtains a compulsory place to force a world title shot against the one who holds the belts at 175.
