    Best round in an excellent fight.

      Benavidez forced him to fight that way. When Morrell attempted to box and move Benavidez was side stepping and making Morrell miss, and then hitting Morrell with hard shots when he was out of posotion. Morrell was landing on mostly gloves all night and Benavidez was sniping Morrel under and around his guard with heavy shots to the head, and landing big body shots as well.

      By the middle of the fight Morrell was getting beat up, he was hurting and tired and Benavidez just kept coming. Morrell's own corner told him to suck it up.

      I give him credit for surviving, but Morrell got a rude awakening on where he is level wise. He will learn from this fight and get better, but he got a masterclass in boxing.

      Benavidez is a rarity in that he isn't athletically built and physically hugely gifted. He is the guy that worked twice as hard at his craft because he had to, and as a result he has a huge boxing IQ and knows exactly what to do and he adjusts incredibly well when needed.

        Ronnie Shields can get you to title level, but I think that's his ceiling. He's a good trainer but the boxing media definitely overhypes him. Buddy MicGirt too imo.
