You fughin kidding me
Fierro got jobbed hard

He was getting taken to school in the first few rounds. Tough as nails though. He sure came back big-time.

I thought he won outright

I thought it was a draw. Pitbull landed better shots, so I don't really have an issue with Pitbull getting it.

A draw would of been some consolation
Chit happens

I thought he won outright

Eh, I edged to to Pitbull. I think Fierro would outwork him then Putbull would land something big that looked more damaging. Had it close though, 96-94.

I saw it totally opposite
Thought Fierro got the better of him

Gonna hate it even more when Morrell stops Benavidez late just like you said he would.

Looks like my last minute change worked out alright.

Benevidez experience was a big factor in me changing my pick.

Although after the fight I keep thinking that if Morrel had a couple more Elite level fights he might've pulled it off.

Sure did! I don't know what Morrell was thinking. Didn't really use his jab much and virtually no lateral movement. Just tried to get in a firefight with a guy whose style is best suited to guys who try to slug it out with him. Neglected the body, wasn't even trying to take angles. Evidence is mounting up that there's just no substitute for pro experience, no matter how good your amateur pedigree might be.
