    Hot Rod says he doesn't think Benavidez has any chance vs Beterbiev and Bivol

    That Beterbiev hits harder than anyone he's fought or sparred at LHW but that he felt it more when he sparred him

    Beterbiev and GGG are the hardest punchers he's sparred albeit he then goes on to say that GGG hit really hard but he's smaller than Kovalev who he's also sparred so maybe Kovalev might hit harder because he's obviously bigger than GGG. He says Morrell who he has subsequently sparred since fighting him hits hard too and has sneaky fast power

    Says he felt like landed the cleaner punches against Morrell and that he'd never been 12 rounds before and was pacing himself

    Exactly how I see it... walking him down applying pressure and breaking him down mentally & physically

    Benavidez late stoppage in a tough fight for him

    Morrell is no joke and won't make it easy.

    I think Morrell is a textbook example of a live dog, Benevidez being the favorite is the logical way to view this fight but I there's an unknown element about Morrell , can he rise to the occasion? Think I'll drop a little cash on Morrell just in case he does.

    Whoa!!! I've already made money! , Took Fulton to beat Figueroa and he dominated . I took Morrell to win, because I'm not convinced that Benavidez has great 175 pound power ...
