#TarversTake

David Benavidez vs David Morrell for the Interim WBC Light Heavyweight Title and for the winner it sets up a fight for "Undisputed" by facing the winner of #BeterbievBivol later in the year.

I think Morrell may not have the in ring experience but his Corner Ronnie Shields has all the experience to deal with the style of a David Benavidez, before Morrell got the fight who knows how long Ronnie Shields and that camp has had eyes on David because of Mal Charlo’s years under Ronnie Shields similar to Bo Mac watching Errol for years.

Hot Rod had impeccable slipping and moving skills. He would've been hard to catch and corner for any fighter. It's should be an interesting fight.

[@The_Reality_Filter]

@@GamebredPitbullHallofFame Cuban amateur boxing is probably still the best in the world. Morrell's 130-5 shows he seen it all in a boxing ring. He also got a gold medal at the YWC in 2016. Don't be surprised if he beats DB.

[@GreggoriR1]

Too many people are leaning to Benavidez and overlooking the power morrell carries…morrell will shock the world

[@enduranceogie4519]

One concern for Benavides is that he mostly goes squared up close to his opponents for prolonged exchanges. This could position him for a liver shot from a quick and hard counterpunching southpaw like Morrell.

[@jasonmoses7785]

Tarver I can’t go against you…. But I don’t feel Morrell losing this

[@TarversTake]

It’ll be a mild upset… what do you see Morrell doing that Benavidez can’t?

[@jasonmoses7785]

@ mild yes…. That’s how equal the playing field is… I believe Morrell speed will be the difference… and his straight shots will hit first compared to Benavidez looping hooks… thing is can he hurt Benavidez enough. Ben last fight at 175 wasn’t really impressive because of power so if he do beat Morrell he has a big mountain to climb to challenge the winners of the belts

[@richardcollins2622]

Great perspective as usual, champ. I’m a big fan of Benavidez but I feel like he makes mistakes with his feet and leaves himself in vulnerable positions. He applies so much pressure though, I feel like no one has been able to stand there and take advantage of those mistakes…everyone just eventually ends up in retreat mode. I understand the experience advantage but do you think Morrell is finally the guy who can take advantage of those footwork issues? I just think Morrell clearly has the better feet.

Inoue ended it, Rigondeaux was too much

[@LeadLeftLeon]

What a coincidence. Months ago in Miami Rigo gave Benavidez advice on how to cut the ring off on a southpaw

[@peacethroughstrength172]

Excellent take AT! I think IF we see the DB that has been known to go 12 rds strong and solid, should get the win. Pull back the reigns to recover and recup. He gassed in his last fight in 6 rds which was a huge shock and it wasnt from punishment either. DM is highly susceptible to DBs L hook.

[@BahrizalShadow-t2y]

Morrel who has just fought 11 prof fights. With 29 fight win streak David Benavidez, who started punching bags since he was 5 years under the tutelage of his so very dedicated father trainer, will be too much for Morrel. Morrel will be another punching bag untill the referee saves his ass from serious injuries. 8:38

[@DioscoridesVillasana]

You can say it louder but you cant say it clearer than the Champ Antonio Tarver. It's too early for Morrell. Benavidez camp knows it. Plus, they saw the Hot Rod fight and knew it was the right moment. 3-4 fights down the road, I'd have Morrell.

Great take . And couldn't agree more about the experience being the difference with benavetiz n morrell.

I think Tarver is very knowledgeable; but it is irritating to hear "ya know "......"know what I mean" all throughout his commentary. If he works on that he will probably get more followers. "Ya know what I mean?"

[@ThePeter1681]

Benavidez 100%

[@caesard.5862]

This is a huge fight that's not being properly hyped and promoted in my opinion. It's a high risk high reward on both sides. Meanwhile, Canelo is staying far away from both of them. He's also letting them eliminate each other. Although he might be cherry picking wrong with Crawford.

[@WatchPartyStore]

Let's be serious. Caleb Plant is a blue chip fighter and Benavidez beat him to a pulp. A man that is hunting Canelo should stop or nearly stop Morrell. A close fight is a massive upset in my opinion.

[@GamebredPitbullHallofFame]

I think experience will win also and how he handled Andrade which has a similar style to Morrell .. the only thing that separates the two is that Morrell is bigger and punches harder but if he allows DavId to walk him down he's going to end up as toast man..

[@garfield4530]

Like this channel no drama real talk 🦜.

[@kelvincrawley3979]

I think Tarver's analysis is spot on. I think any way you slice this, these two fighters had to meet in the ring. Morrell needs to continue his experience in fighting more elite competition to see what he is really made of. And Benavidez is the perfect candidate for Morrell's campaign to be considered a great fighter in the sport of boxing. Benavidez also needs this fight to prove to the world just how great he really is and Morrell is the perfect opponent. Because in reality, to this day and this fight; this will be Benavidez most skilled boxer he has fought in the ring. I think this fight will start off fast and get nasty. Don't get me wrong I like both fighters. I just think Benavidez will get Morrell in the later rounds and this ends in a knockout. I think at the end of the night, Morrell is going to take way too many punches that are going to not only add up; but will culminate into a knockout for Benavidez. We all know Benavidez is a touch fighter who can take a punch. I just think Morrell takes too many punches when he's skilled enough that he doesn't have to. This is going to be that fight to find out just how solid his chin really is. I just don't think his chin is going to be solid enough by the 10th or 11th rounds. Morrell is young, strong, skilled...very talented, with great Ring IQ; but he's dumb when it comes to defense. Lack of defense is going to be his downfall tonight.
