    Benavidez does not have the power at 175. I don't see him beating Bivol or Beterbiev

    The 118-108 scorecard makes no sense.

    The two cards 115-111 were good, pretty much how I saw it. Benavidez won the fight.

    There's always one crazy card. I think it's a rule, in Vegas anyway.

    Morrell is an absolute stud. Not crediting Benavidez for this win is just dummy talk. Not many guys are beating Morrell. Espec if he goes back to 168.

    Morrell was mainly hitting Benavidez’s gloves the entire fight.

    Yeah Morrell has talent, he just couldn't keep up with the pace of Benevidez

    PBC gambled today and it paid off. Too bad they didn't put these kind of cards more often.

    I actually think a DB Bivol fight would be entertaining. DB has enough power to hurt Bivol. I don't think he has enough to stay with Beterbiev, though. Styles make fights. Morrell has nothing to be ashamed of.

    He could cause problems to Bivol with volume, but I favor Bivol. Beterbiev knocks him out.

    I stopped scoring but Benavidez clearly won, but Morrell is a damn beast, lots of heard and tough. He could be a great fighter in the future. Great fight. I had it probably 8-4. Benavidez was hurt twice but once was after the bell.

    Beterbiev is attainable but he needs to age overnight and David's chin needs to hold out

    Against Bivol nah

    The moment has pass. Benevidez is looking at the Beterbiev/Bivol winner.

    Canelo wouldn't fight Benevidez even if offers to go back to 168.

    It amazes me how easily everyone is conned by fighters who throw a lot of punches, the amount that were landing on Morrell's upper arms, shoulders, forearms and were being parried was staggering. Yet unfairly Benavidez got credit for every goddamn one of them. Because... "Oh My God! He's The Mexican Monster!"

    Bivol beats him because of style, DB has issues with guys who can fight on the outside. Beterbiev beats him too, unless age catches up with him and the volume becomes too much. DB 100% beats Canelo.
