I told you that I was going to give you the fights you want to see, and now we’re here. Morrell has been talking about me for a while and disrespecting me. He wanted to make it personal with me, so I’m personally going to break his mouth. That’ll give him something to remember me by. “These are the type of fighters I want to fight. I want to face guys who think that they’re going to go in there and knock me out. He’s never fought anyone like me and I’m going to show everyone there’s levels to this. “I want the props that I deserve when I beat the crap out of him. I love that he’s confident. I love facing guys like this. “He knows what he said and that’s exactly what I needed to get me going for this fight. He thinks he’s big and bad, but he’s nothing. I’m gonna show him who’s the best on February 1. “It’s not time to play anymore. It’s really time to see who the best David is. I want to show everyone where I stand. I want to take over and show everyone I’m the most ferocious fighter out there.” Speaking to , Morrell said of his upcoming opponent, “Benavidez is considered one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing, so when I beat him, everyone will see what I’m capable of. People call him ‘The Mexican Monster,’ but I’m not scared of monsters! I hunt them down! He’s never faced someone like me, and come fight night, he’s going to realize that I’m faster, stronger and smarter than anyone he’s ever stepped in the ring with.” "He’s been running his mouth, calling me out and disrespecting my name,” Morrell added. “That’s fine with me, because words won’t save him when we’re face-to-face in the ring. All this trash talk just fuels me. He’s going to regret every word when I make him eat his pride punch-by-punch.” There’s a great deal on the line during Saturday’s Benavidez vs. Morrell fight, and to the victor go the spoils.
