The fight between undefeated David Benavidez and David Morrell just concluded in Las Vegas, and it was a very tight and spectacular match.
The boxers didn’t hold back, exchanging punches and attacking throughout the fight, but Benavidez was more calculated, constantly working the different levels and overall looking more effective.
