    Was a great night of boxing.
    Yes, it was. The Cruz-Fierro fight alone was worth the price of admission. And Benavidez-Morrell did not disappoint. Wishing Benny greater success going forward. He deserves his moniker. He confirmed my suspi cions, and that of many others, that Canelo has been blatantly avoiding him. I think — and certainly hope — that Morrell has room for growth, and therefore a brighter future. Boxing needs more events like last night, where two real lions take up a challenge versus each other.

      He didn't get destroyed, this was fairly competitive with Benavidez winning most rds, he looked more uncomfortable than I had ever seen him in any fight doing it too.

        You’re 100% correct. It wasn’t a destruction and Morrell had his moments. It was fairly one-sided though for the most part

          Fair enough, Morrell wanted that big step up and he sure got it. Good effort on his part especially given his limited pro experience. As for Benavidez? Should be against the winner of the championship rematch since the Canelo fight isn't likely to ever happen.

            Judging from this fight, Plant is a much smarter boxer than Morrel. The problem is that Plant is much smaller than Morrel.

              I pick Morrell because I know he's going to win.
              "Higher ring IQ" can't be argued?

              Ok, what about now?
              Can higher ring IQ be argued?
              Morrel's IQ looked well below Benevides' ring IQ. That question was answered CONCLUSIVLY.

                People very often mistake athletic ability for skill, Morrell is the more mobile and athletic fighter but he reminded me of Zab Judah in there having no ability to adjust.

                  When the bell rang in round 1 and I watched those two beasts walking towards each other, it really hit me, that its so rare to see two young lions in their prime facing off. I struggle to remember many at all in recent times. It's usually one being much older, inactive, washed, or some bs weight restrictions like with Tank, Garcia. It actually felt weird to see it actually happen.

                      Morrell vs Kalajdzic was close and David didn’t look like he had a scooby doo what to do. Showed a real lack of boxing IQ and the ability to adapt.

                      This won’t be close
                      Got the David's confused

                      They both still suck
