David Benavidez vs. David Morrell – Boxing Betting Prediction
IT’S the battle of the Davids on Saturday evening as Benavidez and Morrell prepare for a good old-fashioned shoot-out in Las Vegas.
This clash occurs at light-heavyweight between two men who have done their best work at super-middleweight. Each man can punch, brings excitement and has a common goal: to fight Canelo Alvarez.
There appears to be a lot of bad blood boiling up in the Latino Heat of the strip as Mexico meshes with Cuba. Benavidez (10/23) must be wary early on, as Morrell’s fiery style generally leads to trouble.
The Minnesota-based Cuban (31/20) can punch hard with both hands, operates out of the southpaw stance and is well-schooled in the traditional amateur system of his island.
Both have held world titles at 168, yet Benavidez holds the edge in big-fight experience. Morrell is not used to going past the fourth round, yet his explosive nature makes him dangerous early.
Benavidez is always equipped to travel the 12 and will look to come on strong late. Both men went the full course in their respective debuts at the weight.
Both fighters to hit the deck is 10/1. Morrell forcing a knockdown and Benavidez turning the fight around to win is 12/1. The fight finishing inside the distance is 13/8 and that looks likely given the styles and temperaments on display.
