    A lot of variations on the triangle theory being used to determine who could win; I'm guilty of it myself, I should stop.

    Kalajdzic ain't Benavidez and Gvozdyk ain't Morrell (and vice versa) at the end of the day.

      This is a true 50-50 fight for me. I lean Benavidez mostly because people on this forum I respect do.
      I give Benavidez the edge but if Morrell wins I won't be shocked in the least bit.

          So what you’re saying is you would pick Gvodzyk over Hot Rod ?????
          Maybe before he fought Beterbiev but no fughin way right now

            Your right are absolutely right but we got nothing else to go by since both haven’t fought anyone of substance

              I saw Benavides against Andrade and I haven’t seen Morrell against anybody like Andrade, going by that simplicity. I think Benavides is more proven.

                I can name one boxer from Morrell Jr resume that could have trashed andrade. Aidos.

                  Yep.

                  Andrade was also, quell shock, a 35 year old career 154 pounder who fought NOBODY.

                  I still thought he would beat Benavidez and he was well on his way until he shook hands with the patented Benavidez elbow, much like Plant before him.

                    That's all part of the game, man. I do believe that Morrell's response of throwing his belt at Benavidez was quite the bitch move, though. To that, I ask, who's getting more into who's head?

                      A b1tch move? So he push him knowning well that 20 security guards, seconds and whoever is at the press conference are going to create a human wall, between them and he just is going to take it? I'll throw anything that I can grab just to get even. In any case the b1tch move was from benavidez, Morrell Jr just reacted fast and swift.
