Code Gray for Benavidez?
If this is a hospital situation, a doctor or nurse will call gray codecausing security guards to rush to the room to subdue the angry patient. Benavidez had the same look on his face when he shoved Morel without warning during a confrontation with Morel during a media workout in Miami on December 17. Morell responded by throwing the belt at him.
Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) said virtually the same thing in interviews before the Feb. 1 fight, reaffirming his claim against Morel (11-0, 9 KOs) numerous times. (who had unfounded suspicions) had used PEDs in the past and said he would “break his face.” Benavidez keeps saying the same thing but there’s nothing new in terms of material.
Host Ariel Helwani did nothing to control the back-and-forth between the two fighters. Instead, he allowed Benavidez to talk about Morel in order to prevent him from speaking. This seems frustrating and shows that Helwani is not familiar with this.
An emotional and furious Benavidez messed up the situation by not shutting up and letting Morel talk. It would help if Helwani showed confidence and neutralized Benavidez by shutting down his ability to speak.
What’s interesting is how angry Benavidez gets and how often he takes swigs from his coffee cup. He looked nervous and angry, ready to snap at any moment. This is a clear sign of concern. Benavidez showed his fear because that’s what a person is, which means they feel scared and threatened. This is a human characteristic. It was a good thing Morel wasn’t there as this could have resulted in a brawl. Since Morel is the stronger, faster, younger and more talented of the two, it could end badly for Benavidez.
He seems to be afraid of Morel, which he should be, because this man could ruin his career and ruin his relationship with Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol Huge million payday for the winner of the 2 rematches when they fight. If Benavidez is defeated by Morel, he will lose a lot of money.

“It’s not anymore because we’re drug testing him,” said David Benavidez When asked if he thought Morel was using PEDs. “When we go into this camp, we make sure there’s no sneaking around and all the fighters are being tested. There’s no sneaking around here because we’re going to take care of it.”
“I’m clean. I don’t need it,” Morel said.
“I’m going to fuck you to death. I’m going to break your mouth,” Benavidez said.
“Every time, you say the same thing,” Morel said, noting that Benavidez is like a broken record, saying the same thing in every interview without coming up with new material. “You said you were a ‘Mexican monster.'” On February 1st, I’m going to kick your ass. I assure you.
“I’ve envisioned it so many times. I’m going to go out there and do my job and this fight isn’t going to go very far,” Benavidez said. “I’m going to go out there and hurt David Morey as much as I can. Er. More than anyone else has ever hurt him, and more than anyone will ever hurt him.
