David Morrell says that the persona of “Mexican Monster” that David Benavidez is just a fake identity and that he really is “A fat chicken.“Regular” WBA light heavyweight champion Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) vows to “eliminate” Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) to expose him as an impostor in the light of day.
Morrell vs. Benavidez will headline a 12-round fight in 15 days on February 1st at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be shown live on PBC on Prime Video PPV. Benavidez will have his interim WBC 175-lb belt on the line which he recently captured against Oleksandr Gvozdyk on June 15 last year.
Fake monster?
This fight will show if Benavidez is as good as he and his followers think he is or if he is fool’s gold, that had naive fans fooled all along. They want Benavidez to replace Canelo Alvarez so bad they won’t look at him with their eyes open to see he’s been beating ham & eggers his whole career. The fans want Benavidez to be their new hero so bad that they aren’t willing to admit the flaws are there and that it’s not the genuine article.
“You’re the king? I’m coming for you. Get out of here,” said David Morrell PPV.comSpeaking of David Benavidez, who has been hyped as the top dog in the 175lb division, but has no credible wins and looked atrocious in his lightweight debut.
“I’ve got it all. Speed, power, defense, attack, legs that move. I’ve got it all. I don’t know why people say he’s ‘The Monster’. Boom. He’s going down 100%. I promise you, I got it defeated,” Morrell said.
“The ‘Mexican Monster,’ everything is fake. That’s what we call in Cuba, “A little chicken.” Benavidez is not the same as me,” said Morrell. “In Cuba, we would have taken his money for lunch. Such a fat boy. I don’t want to say I’m a poor kid, but I mean, man, it’s different. That hunger that the Cubans have. I dare say few have. I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time. Now, it’s more serious.”
Fans who were mentally awake saw Benavidez’s last fight against 37-year-old Oleksandr Gvozdyk, who was not the fighter they thought he was. He worked in that fight, being pummeled in the second half.
Benavidez was hurt in the 12th, and lucky it didn’t happen earlier in the round because Gvozdyk lit him up like a candle. It was hard to watch.
Benavidez’s excuses, as they blame his terrible performance on hand injuries, don’t pass the laughing test. He wasn’t the same man now that he was fighting where he should have been from the beginning of his career at 175, and he couldn’t handle someone his size.

“I’m going out there, and I’m fighting for my life, and he’s trying to take everything from me,” David Benavidez said of Morrell. “When I look at David Morrell, I think: ‘His team, his dog, his cat, and all those people here. My main job is to beat the hell out of him, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
What is Benavidez talking about? Why mention Morrell’s dog and cat? That sounds like pure paranoia on his part to include his animals as part of his rationale for needing to beat him. I mean, “The Mexican Monster” had the toughest opponent of his career, his first real test with his size, younger than him, and with more power.
Benavidez must prove that he is real and not just a farce who got there all these years by scrapping to fight in a weight class smaller than his massive frame and mainly picking on old guys. If he loses this fight to Morrell, it just means he was fake, and his whole career was a sham.
