Veteran promoter Sampson Lewkowicz is well-known for recognizing high expertise within the sport.
Lewkowicz believes that undefeated WBA ‘common’ tremendous middleweight champion David Morell Jr. is greater than succesful, at this second, of beating Mexican famous person Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who’s at the moment the undisputed world champion at 168-pounds.
Lewkowicz promotes former two-time tremendous middleweight champion David Benavidez, who’s slated to face one other former champion, Caleb Plant, within the month of March. The bout can have the interim-WBC title at stake.
The second greatest battle on the weight, says Lewkowicz, is a conflict between Morrell and Benavidez.
“That could be a more durable battle than Plant, more durable than Canelo. [Morrell] is a good boxer. Huge, sturdy, younger. That is what it takes in boxing. The issue is that Morell shouldn’t be as nicely often called Canelo, however I’m satisfied that Morell additionally beats Canelo,” Lewkowicz instructed the Vikingo and Ebro Podcast.
“The transition from beginner to skilled was very simple for [Morrell]. That’s what others, particularly the Russians, lack. He has a coronary heart of iron and could be very sensible in his boxing. That’s the reason he’s essentially the most tough battle for anybody, together with Benavidez. A battle in opposition to Plant can be 60 to 40 in favor of Benavidez. With Morell, I truthfully see it as a 50-50 [fight]. Canelo is an underdog in opposition to Benavidez. Alternatively, there is no such thing as a favourite in opposition to Morell. I’ve a lot respect for him, as a result of I’ve seen nearly all of his fights. Morell is a tiger.
“There’s a widespread settlement that if Canelo decides to vacate the [168] titles, this battle [between Benavidez and Morrell] would occur and it might be a pay-per-view, after the Plant battle. I’d say this battle would occur in September.”
