David Benavidez’s combat towards former WBA ‘common’ gentle heavyweight champion David Morrell introduced in between 150,000 to 160,000 PPV buys on PBC on Prime Video on the T-Cellular Enviornment in Las Vegas.
@DanRafael1 is reporting the PPV numbers for the Benavidez-Morrell combat, which have been surprisingly good for an occasion that was priced at $79.95. That’s a steep worth in comparison with how low the Riyadh Season occasions are offered. Benavidez obtained marked by the heavy punches from Morrell, and was fortunate that he didn’t endure any vital cuts throughout the motion.
It’s unclear whether or not the success of the occasion was because of the ‘Mexican Monster’ Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs) alone or a mixture of the Cuban Morrell and a few the undercard fights.
Benavidez defeated Morrell (11-1, 9 KOs) by a 12-round unanimous choice with the scores 118-108, 115-111, and 115-111. It was a detailed combat in actuality, however Benavidez’s physique punching and his stress have been the variations.
If Benavidez can defeat the winner of the February twenty second combat between undisputed gentle heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, his reputation will undergo the roof. He received’t must maintain pressuring Canelo Alvarez and sounding obsessive about him.
There’s an excellent likelihood that Beterbiev would be the one which Benavidez faces for the 4 belts, and that’s going to be attention-grabbing to see how he offers together with his energy. He received’t be capable of take pleasure in the identical success on the within towards Beterbiev as he did towards Morrell as a result of he fights properly in shut.
We don’t know but of how quickly Benavidez will get an opportunity to combat for the belts. It could require that he take a tune-up if Beterbiev-Bivol chooses to combat a trilogy.
