Why the 8th or 9th Round? Benavidez Sr.’s Strategy
José Benavidez Sr. is confident that his son’s intense preparation and tactical skill will play a key role in this fight.

Wear down Morrell by the middle rounds, capitalize on any fatigue, and deliver a knockout in the 8th or 9th round.
“David will find his moment in the 8th or 9th round,” says José Benavidez Sr. “That’s when he’ll capitalize on Morrell’s stamina and go for the knockout.”
David Morrell: A Formidable Opponent
David Morrell, holding an undefeated record of 11-0 with 9 knockouts, is recognized for his speed and powerful strikes. Team Benavidez, however, believes Morrell has yet to face an opponent of David’s caliber. They are confident that David’s endurance and skill will shine through, providing the perfect opening for a decisive knockout.
The Stakes Are High: More Than Just Titles
This fight is not only about titles; it represents a critical turning point in the light heavyweight division. The winner will be in a prime position to unify titles and face off against other top fighters in future bouts. Both Benavidez and Morrell know the significance of this fight and are determined to emerge victorious.
