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.

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

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.Comment

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

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

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.Comment

Benavidez landed everything but the kitchen sink on Gvozdyk and even though he gassed late, won pretty much every round comfortably. His defence was impressive too.
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
They both still suckLast edited by Grandma Lover; 03-29-2025, 10:03 PM.Comment
