Benavidez stock went DOWN

I saw two fighters that were way to big for canelo. Thats why canelo is fighting a guy more his size.

 

Morrell just has to move his head more. Shields was telling him inbetween rounds, he was too still. I wouldn't mind a rematch if Morrell gets some good wins.

 

Plant said Canelo hits harder but benavidez is bigger and throws fast combos.

 

Wtf are you talking about what a little head movement can do? Benavidez connected 48% of his power punches while keeping Morrel at 32%. Do you have any idea how hard that is to do at world level? And flat footed? Do you not notice how fast his feet can move him backwards when you explode at him? So flat footed that Morrel couldn’t stay half a step outside his reach.
Terrible take.

 

I notice lots of people just repeat the same tired often outdated takes about Benavidez, as if he has the slowest worst feet and defense in boxing. It's totally unrelated to reality.

 

It’s like a support group where you talk about your feelings and the other victims blow smoke up your ass for support.

 

Morrell looked like he studied Edgar Berlanga in training camp for this fight.

 

I thought this was an excellent fight. It’s rare we see good fights like this I think.
Top guys going at it in close fights, skills, power, technique, attrition etc

no Saudi bling or sucking up necessary or Brit hype, exaggeration or bias.

An excellent fight is all I needed.
Thanks David and David.

 

That`s a good point but Benavidez is nowhere near as good as a prime Tyson, Mike was a far better finisher.

 

What does Saudi bling have to do with all this? Without the Suadi`s all tose top fights would never have happened, we would never have seen Fury v Usyk, if the Sudi`s came on the scene ten years ago, Fury and Wilder would have fought AJ, that era was so fustrating.

 

Canelo has slow movement.

Too me, he simply solidified his status as the third best light-heavyweight in the world. He's a good fighter, but not at the same level as Bivol ot Beterbiev.
