Benavidez is enjoying beating smaller and older opponents. Morrell is his match, similar size and age. He is avoiding Morrell for that reason.
Man this would be a crazy fight if it were to happen, i wonder how both guys would react & what game plan they would implement to get in & land their power shots, a true guaranteed fan friendly fire fight at that with the Current Peoples Champ Beterbiev being crowned the winner in my estimation.
Should have been capped, Top Rank are failures & even more so towards themselves imagine what they could have done if they bothered to promote Beterbiev the right way, what a F****** loss man, shocking.
Yup Look at the following Khabib got once the UFC marketed him properly. He could probably come back tomorrow and have a PPV record breaking event. The same could have been done for Beterbiev too. Tragic that this guy is making $1m per fight only when his name has been on everyones lips since 2019 as a P4P star. Now people can see why Crawford and Mayweather left Arum too. Top Rank suck
Benavidez is a weight bully and all he can do is stand and trade , unfortunately beterbiev isn’t Plant ,Andrade ,or Lemieux . 40 year old Beterbiev still smashes Benavidez.
Until I see that Beterbiev has actually "aged" in the ring, I'm not picking anyone under CW against him (except when I go back and forth between him and Bivol). He's gonna age eventually..................but I ain't seen the cracks yet.
In every interview that Smith has done he is just hoping that Beterbiev has gotten old and keeps saying "the time is right". He is practicing his left look via catch and counter and is fighting out a crouch. He is giving up his height and reach to try and land one money shot. He is rolling the dice on this one. Good luck Callum.
