    How full was the arena? Rafael said the crowd was 12,000 yet the capacity is 20,000?

    Many people on here seem to be trying everything in their power to act like this was a close fight, when in fact Morrel took a beating.
    Benavidez clearly won but i think Morrell gave a good effort. Maybe him vs Yarde or Buatsi/Smith winner would be a good next step. He doesn't have much pro experience he can improve

    Yes, you are absolutely correct. Benavidez definitely tripped over Morrell's right foot before touching the canvas. The referee definitely blew that call.

    However, it wasn't all that bad. It's because the referee compensated for his lapse in judgement by giving Morrell a single point deduction; For hitting Benny after the bell which canceled the knockdown out.

    Just watched a clip in real time. Benny tripped over Morrell’s foot. Punch didn’t land. There was no knockdown.

    Only in boxing where there is no consensus even when there is video to prove something.

    One thing is sure, in my opinion. Morrell don't want this fight no more.

    - - Except that truth is it was a missed call by the ref because it was a trip. Not a big deal in that Bena was always gonna win, and if they rematch Bena prob KOs him.

    After leaving the arena I looked it up and it confirmed what I what I thought. Hooked around his shoulder and the feet got tripped over.

    All in all Morrell is very durable and has speed and good snap on his shots, he had fight in him the whole time and looked dangerous for all rounds even though it was in spurts. Morrell took a lot of punishment throughout the whole fight so I give him major props.
