    Benavidez best work rounds 4 5 6 7 8

    Morrell finished the fight pretty good in rounds 9 through 12
    I've tried that, but only the link shows up when I hit ok. There was a time that the method worked for me, then suddenly, it didn't.

      I think Morrell underestimated Benavidez's actual skill level and wasn't sure how to respond. Up to the point of facing the Mexican American, he's been able to outclass his opponents with relative ease.

        Cuban School of Boxing should not have been outjabbed by a guy with Mexican bully style!
        "Mexican bully style"? What does that even mean? Benavidez didn't grab, hold, illegally punch, or lean on Morrell. He just punched him in the body and face, like he was supposed to.

          come forward mexican pressure often had a big size advantage over his opponents

          Benavidez outjabbing Morrell is a compliment to Mexican David

          He has a good long explosive spear jab

          good defense too

            I've always been on the "Benavidez has shaky defense" train but he's vastly improved to the point that I can now ask the conductor to stop the engine.

            When he does get hit, and he does still when he shouldn't, he's proven to have a solid ass chin. He ate some lethal Morrell uppercuts with little problem.
