    Very interesting fight. I'd like to see the winner fight the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev, or fight Buatsi.

    Morrell looked very unimpressive vs Hot Rod (much more so than Benavidez vs Gvozdyk), even to the extent that some on here had Morell losing his bout with Hot Rod. I would sternly back Benavidez in this one.

    What a great fight.

    Meanwhile Canelo can continue fighting the Berlangas of the world.

    Both looked unimpressive in their last outings, but this is a good match.

    Morell was unimpressive that is True
    So, I wanted Hot Rod to win too… we all did
    He is a board favorite

    Right?
    Two top contenders at 168 are now facing off against one another at 175lbs. I have lost a fair bit of respect towards Canelo, but those two have earned more than that. It´s a really good matchup.

    I don't see what others see in Morrell. I think Benavidez stops him. In fact I don't even think the fight happens, I think Morrell is all talk and doesn't really want the fight.

    I’ve never thought much of Morell, he’s very overrated in my opinion

    That's a damn good fight right there, but I think Benevidez will stop him late in the fight.

    Benevidez' team sent an offer to Morrell. Hart will be their go to if they can't come to terms for a fight.

    Definitely a lesser fight, but not a terrible one. Hart is a decent boxer.
    I wonder why Hart left Top Rank, they took good care of him and got him a lot of opportunities.
