David Benavidez was almost hysterical as he shouted down WBA 'regular' light heavyweight champion David Morrell during a split-screen interview today to discuss their February 1st fight on PBC on Prime Video PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Vegas.

Code Gray for Benavidez?

If it's a hospital situation, doctors or nurses will call one Code-grayAs a result, security rushes to the room to subdue the angry patient. Benavidez had the same look when he bumped Morel without warning when they faced off at a media workout in Miami on Dec. 17. Morel responded by throwing the belt at him.

Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) said much the same thing he said in previous interviews during the build-up to his February 1st fight, repeating countless times his unfounded doubts about Morel (11-0, 9 KOs). ) has used PEDs in the past, and says he would “break his face.” It's the same tried stuff that Benavidez has been saying without anything fresh in terms of ingredients.

The moderator, Ariel Helwani, did nothing to moderate the back-and-forth between the two fighters. Instead, he allowed Benvidez to speak with Morel to prevent him from speaking. It was disappointing to watch and shows that Helwani is new to it.

An infuriated Benavidez spoiled things by not stopping to allow Morel to speak. It would have helped if Helwani had been assertive and distracted Benavidez by shutting down his ability to speak. He seemed insecure and had to try to control Morel by talking over him.

What was interesting was how angry Benavidez was and how often he was Took a big gulp from his coffee cup. He looked nervous and angry and in a state of mind where he looked like he was ready to run amok. This is a clear sign of anxiety.

Benavidez showed his fear because a person is like that, it means they fear and threaten. It is a human trait. It's a good thing Morrell wasn't in attendance because it could have ended in a fist fight. Since Morel is the stronger, faster, smaller and more talented of the two, this could end badly for Benavidez.

He was scared of Morel, as he should be, because this man could destroy his career and squander a huge mega-million payday by fighting the winner of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 rematch. Benavidez will lose a lot of money if he loses to Morel.

Morel unfuzed

“You have no power, man. You have nothing,” he said David Morrell on Ariel Helwani ChannelTalking about David Benavidez, who was talking over him on the show, didn't let him talk. “You can't do it. I will teach you to box.

“Not anymore because we're with drug testing,” said David Benavidez When asked if he thought Morrell was using PEDs. “When we did this camp, we made sure that there was no sneaky business going on and all the fighters were being tested. There will be no hiding because we take care of it.”

“I'm clear. I don't need it,” Morel said.

“I'm taking you. I'm going to break your face,” Benavidez said.

“Every time, you say the same thing,” Morel said, adding that Benavidez is like a broken record, saying the same thing in every interview without coming up with new material. “You say you're a 'Mexican monster.' February 1st, I'm kicking you. I promise you

“I imagined it a lot. I'm going to go out there and do my job, and this fight is not going the distance,” Benavidez said. “I'm going to go out there and hit David Morrell as hard as I can. More than anyone who has hurt him and more than anyone who will ever hurt him.

“He will always remember this fight and he will never forget David Benavidez after this fight.”

“I am 100% sure that I am going to win this fight. I don't care which way I'm going to win this fight. If I knock him out or it's up to the judges, I know I have all the conditions and skills to come out on top on February 1st,” said Morel.

“All is said and done, and I know you see me in your nightmares, P****. So, I'll see you soon,” said an angry Benavidez in his final remarks.
