David Morrell On If David Benavidez Was ‘Overhyped’

David Morrell On If David Benavidez Was 'Overhyped'

After sharing the ring with ‘The Monster’ David Benavidez, defeated David Morrell took an interesting question.

A strange one, on if he thought Benavidez is overhyped.

Speaking after the fight Morrell said:

“A little bit of both (he was and he wasn’t). But I definitely made a couple of mistakes to give him the fight he wanted.”

Kind of sitting on the fence a bit there. Clearly Benavidez is not overhyped, obviously.

You could tell both boxers were after clearly being on one hell of a fighter afterwards.
