Christ you guys are unbelievable sometimes

Ok you'll see

 

[R=G]

I gotta give Benavidez credit in this fight
Did his power get nullified moving up to 175 and facing people his size? Yes... But it was still a great performance. One thing I would say that almost no one is saying about last night was that Benavidez is a very very underrated defensive fighter. There was times where Morell was struggling to throw combinations because of Benavidez' subtle head movement and the ability to catch punches with his gloves. Benavidez was rarely hit clean in that fight, and when he was, Morell spent alot of energy and had to sell out to do it

That defense is going to be necessary at 175. I do think he can win a title someday at 175

Yea that's really the main area I can give him respect. Even when he got rocked he came right back and kept fighting. He definitely has heart. But at 175 all that heart doesn't mean much if you don'thave the skills to match. He was lucky to be in there with a green fighter who was still too inexperienced to take advantage of his flaws. That won't be the case against beterbiev, bivol, or canelo.

David is a 175 Errol Spence. Right down to the poor footwork, average defense, and overrated power. And his exposal is gonna be just as brutal.

It took Crawford to best Spence..I thought Crawford was all time great? Who's gonna decimated Benavidez under 175.

175 gonna expose that chin. There's a reason he been a weight bully his whole career. Can't hide them flaws anymore.
