One of the sport’s occasional observers and leading minds in the sweet science is spot on here.
He goes by the name ‘Breadman’ and while doesn’t always get it right, like anyone, when it comes to professional prize fighting he is frequently not too far off what is correct.
This summation on David Benavidez vs David Morrell fitting in that dimension per this on X:
“David Benavidez has elite fighting spirit. Elite. He hustles back at every sign his opponent has momentum. Jeff Fenech, Tim Bradley, Tito Trinidad level fighting spirit. That spirit will most likely take him to the HOF.”
On the loser in the fight, but who’s stock went up again, he noted:
“David Morrell has a chin and alot of determination. So many fighters make silent agreements when they’re being BESTED. He was chucking them thangs with bad intent until the final bell. His will kept him from getting stopped.”
Very good.
Benavidez after a rest must come all guns blazing in what is next, which, of course, he will — he always does after all.
Before the fight this weekend David Benavidez had a viral image of his mouthpiece of Saint Michael the Archangel be liked, loved and shared widely worldwide on technological platforms in the East and West.
Maybe he was with him in the trenches this weekend.
