The weight drainage game
Benavidez (29-0, 24 KB) has looked like a vampire This week, with its emaciated and lifeless appearance. He reduced the weight to descend to 175, and it was obviously a nightmare for him.
It will probably be Rehydrate up to 200 pounds For the fight against Morrell (11-0, 9 KB) and have a weight advantage inside the ring. It is not intentional from Benavidez. It has been cruising in size for years, but because of his youth, he was able to flow to compete in 168 and now 175. As saying the saying, “once a weight intimidator, always a weight intimidator “.
Sanction organizations should all implement 10 LB rehydration clauses to prevent combatants from rehydrating enormous amounts of weight. This should be a standard rule in each division with all guiding bodies for safety purposes.
His weight handling will eventually catch up with him, as for each fighter in competition in divisions well below where they should be. In Benavidez’s latest fight against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, he turned against him when he was grazed after six laps and made a horrible blow that he will not forget anytime soon.
We could see the same thing happening on Saturday evening, but Morrell hits too hard for Benavidez to do on 12 as he did against Gvozdykon, 37, on June 15 of last year.

These are not bigger fights than those of Morrell, but if Benavidez wanted to avoid the talented Cuban, it was logical for him to take these less guys. The plant is the best of these fighters, but it had already been knocked out by Canelo and showed that it had no power. He is a fighter in terms of finesse, and he is much smaller than Benavidez.
“When I said I wanted to take this fight, they were in a position where they could not say no,” said Benavidez about the Morrell team. “Now that the moment is there, he says nothing. He is afraid. I can say it in his eyes. I can feel the fear of someone and I feel 100% with David Morrell, he is afraid of me.
