David Benavidez
The only thing I envision in my head when I see this fight is me beating David Morrell by knockout. I don't know what round it's gonna be and then I'm not gonna say I'm going in there fast looking for the knockout, because I'm not. I'm going to follow my game plan, and that's gonna be good enough to give me the knockout. I'm gonna go in there, I'm gonna hurt David Morrell as much as possible.
Benavidez's last fight was in June 2024, where he defeated Oleksandr Gvozdyk by unanimous decision. He boasts a record of 29 wins (24 by knockout) with no losses.
Morrell last entered the ring against Radivoje Kalajdzic in August 2024. That fight lasted all the rounds and ended in favor of David by unanimous decision. He holds a record of 11 wins (nine by knockout) without a single loss.
