Comments Thread For: David Benavidez has a return date: Dec. 14

Too many PPVs as it is. He needs to fight a top-tier opponent or I'm not buying a PPV. Tank vs De Los Santos isn't PPV worthy either, even if combined with a Benavidez vs De Los Santos-equivalent-opponent. Benavidez vs Morrell is PPV worthy, though.

Seems all they want to do is PPV. What's the point of the streaming services. Seems similar to HBO and Showtime, you had to pay for the Channel and the Pay for Pay Per views when a "big" fight occurred.

I doubt very much it will be Morrell, why on earth would he take a risky fight like that now.

Morrell didn't look that great in his last fight.

It better be Morrell. Needs to do something to get to challenge either Bivol or Beterbiev.

"in a bout intended to keep him sharp . . ."

There's the clue it definitely won't be Morrell.

PBC will have him rematch Darrell.

Did Andrade retire after the loss?

[BrankoB]

Neither Benavidez nor Morrell looked impressive (and destructive) in their last fight. They both moved up to 175 to get a shot at a winner of Beterbiev - Bivol clash. I cannot see either of them risking a title shot and a large bag of money by fighting each other before that. Does not make business sense for either. Most likely we get another warm up fight from Benavidez in December.

This kid deserves more respect for taking on Gvozdyk first fight at 175. Granted, not prime Gvozdyk, but not shot either. The nail is highly skilled, has good power and presents a significant challenge to anyone. I think Benevidez was much more impressive in his light heavyweight debut than his Cuban counterpart. Gvosdyk probably would have beat Morell

No, nail doesn't have a chance. And both won their fight against different opponents. Stop with the nonsense.

Neither benavidez. They both fought credible opponents and first time in a higher weight class

David fought the more accomplished fighter that a lot of people here called him a cherry pick.

Regardless if David fights Morrell I will be watching.

There were actually a lot of good non-PPV fights on HBO & Showtime with only a few PPVs a year and generally ones that were PPV worthy. Now it's a PPV every month and still only a handful that are PPV worthy.
