Honestly speaking , I don’t believe Benny had problems with his hands and more likely that was damage control imo
Morrell fought the better of the two , again imo , Hot Rod is not a guy who drops easily
I actually thought he won the fight if awarded I wouldn’t have had a problem with it
That's a big jump, now if zurdo is willing to come back to his previous 175 division , them we have a fight. Doubtful that could happen, knowing how he killed himself to make 168, and had only a couple of fights at 175.
Personally, quite liking how Zurdo is performing at Cruiserweight against Joe Smith Jr, Arsen and Billiam Smith. He became a technician that utilizes angles and can work at any range. His punching power also translated pretty well despite not getting the knockouts.
Difficult seeing him coming back to 175 even if he looks soft in the mid waist. He sparred Oleksandr Gvozdyk to prepare for Billiam Smith, and he seemed a tad larger too.

Only a tad? He won't make 175 again. That should have been his weight back when he fought at 168.
I agree, surprising he could make weight at 168 at all. He could debuted at 175 and move up to 200.
By the way I wonder if Benavidez can perform well at 200, since a certain group was saying he was weight bullying. But he mostly cut water weight, I mean yeah he has excess skin at fight night, but he always seemed like a lanky tall fighter rather than someone with a big strong physique.
Might need to stay at 175 for years to come to build up his frame, but besides Morrell, Bivol and Beterviev, who else might there be in the division after let's say 2-3 years?
(Morrell has a strong physique standing at a similar height as DB, but it is also difficult to see him also jump 25 more pounds without the added body weight affecting his athleticism. Don'tsee him jumping up right now either.)

Iglesias is going to be there in a couple of years, unless canelo vacated, pacheco and mbilli too.
Your leaning towards Benny winning this fight I’m guessing
My thinking is this will be Morrell’s coming out party by beating Benny , the so-called Monster

Definitely and the fight does have some intrigue
Benny is supposed to have the experience on his side and the other guy we’re going off his amateur career ( 300 plus fights )
