    Benavidez has a chin... he has technique and I think he's underrated... he's good at cutting off the ring... he's good at counter-punching and he's good at applying pressure... but he has to improve learning to fight backwards... and he has to improve his punching and his cardio... in reality Benavidez gave a boxing lesson... for the only reason that in the 11th round... he received punishment, he could have even been hurt or knocked out... it was because he was tired like it happened with the Ukrainian... but he won in a convincing manner... but nothing is perfect, that was the only detail in this fight... after that it was a beauty... I don't understand why Morell insists on being behind Benavidez... now he wants revenge... and as far as I know they damaged his cheekbone and that's a bad sign now... I don't know if Benavidez needs to increase muscle mass or do something else... but there are things to polish... if I were him... I would take another fight to acclimatize myself more to the 175 to fight with bivol or beterviev...

    In my honest opinion, I always thought Canelo would just walk Benavidez down to the ropes and put the work in. I think Canelo would drop Benavidez and win a tight decision. It's unfortunate Canelo is scared to take the challenge

    I agree, he beat Morrell because of experience in my opinion.

    Benavidez isn't good on the backfoot and Benavidez can't hurt Canelo. Benavidez moves back in straight lines and always finds himself on the ropes. What happens if Canelo hurts Benavidez ? I think its the more likely outcome and Benavidez will drop his workrate drastically but I could be wrong

    I think he beat him because he is a better fighter... Morell is very hittable and can actually take a lot of punishment... he is 27 years old and has extensive amateur experience... I think Benavidez is smarter and I always knew that Benavidez is much more technical than Morell... Benavidez will continue to move forward because he is a person who seeks greatness... who seeks to improve... who works hard... he is very talented.

    Lack Cardio? He was swing hard for 12 rnds. Lack power at 175, totally agree.

    Being shorter doesn't mean you have a weaker chin what kind of nonsense is this ? Benavidez has been dropped twice, Canelo 0

    Benavidez doesn't have power at light heavyweight, so i don't see him hurting Canelo. The biggest issue is Benavidez volume and speed, Benavidez has cement feet just like Canelo

    I think he got tired... and lowered his pace... I think he can still improve that aspect... and his punching, yes, definitely... but he has time to improve that... I like his mentality

    Always felt the same too. I don’t think Canelo is scared as much as he wants to stay a free agent. Haymon would make him sign a 2-3 fight deal for a Benavidez fight.

    It’s too early to tell, but both guys haven’t had a KO since moving up weight. Amazing how fighting guys your own size causes that!

    I never understood why Canelo and some of his fans never wanted the fight, I'm one of Canelos biggest supporters on here and even I think he's avoiding that fight. DB will generate the most money, but for some reason Canelo doesn't want it and I won't back Canelo on it. He needs to fight Benevidez at some point or I'ma call it a duck straight up, I don't care what Canelo has done in his career.
