Undefeated light heavyweight stars David “El Monstro” Benavidez and David Morell Jr. continued their heated war of words at Thursday’s final press conference before they settle their rivalry in the ring this Saturday, February 1 headlining a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
David Benavidez: “We’re coming with our full energy, unlike him. He’s nervous and he’s not ready. He looks scared right now. When you step into that ring this Saturday, that’s ‘El Monstro’s’ world, and you’re going to see exactly what I’m made of….I’m going in there to try to hurt him in every single round. I have the strongest fighting spirit in all of boxing and you’re going to see what ‘El Monstro’ is made of on Saturday.”
David Morrell Jr: “I wanted to fight Benavidez because I wanted to end all this ‘Monster’ stuff. Everyone he’s fought so far has either been on the verge of retirement or had to come up or come down in weight. I want to end the myth that he’s a monster…I’m going to bust him up. You don’t disrespect people like this in boxing. You’re gonna see what I do to you on Saturday.”

This fight is awesome
Benavidez in 2!
I’m seriously excited about this match, and I’m impressed that both decided to take it. Definitely expecting fireworks. I’d venture to say this is the riskiest fight that either have faced before.
I’m impressed they took it too. Too often in this so-called “four belt era” we see contenders sitting on mandatory positions rather than fighting each. Clearly the WBC and WBA agreeing to cooperate and make the winner the joint mandatory for the Beterbiev – Bivol winner helped here.
I don’t have a plan to watch the fight yet. How are others accessing the fight stream?
Don’t know yet, colson, but if you know a streaming hookup please forward it. If not, I will catching it later on YouTube. Carlos, calmete! It’s coming, amigo!
Reminds me of Pavlik Miranda..Pavlik shocked boxing by the absolute beat down he gave. I have a feeling Morrell will really impress. Stoppage win
I’m taking Morrell in this one by late KO.
Benavidez has been a weight bully. Morrell is just as big, longer reach and hits harder.
I see Benavidez taking a dirt nap.
Morrell’s right hook will find him all night long,
it goes right around the gloves.
I think he runs into a big left before the 5th round.
Benavidez will get hit to the body,
and he’s gonna get hit in face.
He ain’t talking all that smack just to sell seats.
He’s trying to convince….
HIMSELF
Morrell is simply the more talented fighter
How will Morrell react when he gets hit? This is the 1st time he fights someone with a pulse, I believe he’s in for a rude awakening
