    I applaud Benavidez for taking this fight very risky. High risk low reward type of fight i love it.

    My heart is with Morell but I think that DB is a little to seasoned for him.

    I'm a Fulton fan, I don't wanna see that, Ball on a serious run and even with this I think Fulton is kinda close to a ledge :confused:

    I don't think he beats Benavidez. He doesn't seem to have a right hand, he's flat-footed and I'm not sure he is good at fighting off his backfoot.

    I'd take Beterbiev and Bivol over Benavidez without hesitation, so I'm not some Benavidez fangirl. But I'll be shocked if Morrell pulls it off.

    Come on mang, Fulton may be boring as hell, but on this occasion they spent 2:30 of every round just framed up with no actual clinch, and Figueroa brought nothing. Relatively little strategic clinching, just one guy landing and the other not. I wanted Figueroa to win 10-2, but instead Fulton did so, it's just what happened.

    We're in for a treat tonight. It's not often we get 2 very good undefeated fighters fight each other in their prime.

    Both guys look very confident.

    I agree he looked like crap. Didn't say otherwise.

    If it wasn't for Morrell's last fight, I would have made this 50/50. But after Hot Rod I have to give the edge to DB.

    Any news on ring weights? I'd love to know what they've rehydrated to.

    This is how boxing should always be to many fighters take the cherry pick approach.
