[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

“The press conference they were like, ‘Hi. How are you?,’ ” Morrell said. “Like, come on, bro, do you wanna fight or do you wanna go to lunch?

Morell sounds like a literal mongoloid when speaking English. He should just stick to Spanish

Let's see how Morrell looks in this fight, how strong the opponent is, etc. Then make Benavidez-Morrell fight.

Did Benavidez steal his bike as a kid or something? I think he's spent more time chasing Benavidez than he has speaking on this fight.

Well, I must admit that Morrell is not wrong. Any real boxing fan knew that the entire fight was bullshit! On paper the fight was a total mismatch.

Andrade didn't stand much of a chance anyhow because he was a pure boxer and a natural 154lb'er with no power. Yet so many boxing fans were picking him for the upset.

However, I wasn't one of them and I asked myself why? It's because he was undefeated and a very skilled boxer who had been avoided for much of his career.

Likewise, he was the much smaller, older and slower of the two with 35 year old legs as well. Moreover, he lacked both the stamina, size and real legit punching power to keep Benavidez from steamrolling past him.

At 35, with diminished stamina and being 14 pounds heavier; There was no way he was outboxing David Benavidez for twelve rounds without being stopped.

So why didn't Morel fight Andrade then? Are you telling me that Agbeko is better than Andrade or that other shot fighter Morel fought his last fight? Or really anyone on Morel resume. Morel is just another hyped fighter with no credentials just like Andrade himself was a few years back, you can add Charlo to that list too...

NSB said that Benavidez beating Andrade makes him a lock for Fighter of the Year tho!

I mean I get the sh^t talk. You gotta throw shade these days to stay in the news cycle. But the thing is regardless of what David B did vs Andrade, Andrade would be the best opp David M has fought by a marathon distance.

David M is a bad mfer & due to 168 not being very deep hes a top contender, but his resume still reads like a great prospect more than a legit top 5 guy. I'd love to see David M go into deeper waters before he fights a Canelo or David B type guy. I do understand the need to sh^t talk David B to build up that fight, but the worst thing that could happen is hes the dog that catches the car if those fight happens next.

Maybe I'm wrong & he wins, but I think his lack of higher level opps is gonna do him a disservice when hes in with another real one like David B or Canelo if those fights happen too soon. Right now I'd favor David B to beat David M & Canelo & I'd favor Canelo over David M. And a lot of that isn't about talent, cuz David M gots alot of talent, its about who hes shown that talent against in the ring. Lotsa mfers woulda beaten Aidos, Kelvin & the guy David M is likely to KO tonight. Get dude in with Mbilli, Ryder or another top 10, top 15 guy next.
