    Bad blood brewing, but this is a hell of a fight.

    Benavidez will invent an excuse and withdraw.

    Looks like it qill be explosive!!

    I like Benavides cause he doubles the other guy's experience.

    Well, at least they got so far, can´t say the same about Kabayel and Bakole.

    This is a excellent and very intriguing match up. Credit to both for taking the fight.

    Neither looked near as formidable in their 175 debuts as they have down at 168, partially due to them both being massive for 168 and fighting opponents their own size at 175, and partially because they opted to fight good opponents for said debuts at that weight

    Prime Gvozdyk>>Hot Rod

    But Hot Rod>> this version of Gvozdyk IMO

    Benavidez won more clearly and despite the predictably heavily biased PBC judge's cards in Morrell's favour Hot Rod arguably beat Morrell or at worst it was very close

    But I have no idea who wins this one. It's 50-50 for me as of now

    I said this a year ago. Since then Morrell has beaten one top 10ish guy in his respective division. I see glimpses in Morrell but I still consider him very unk. as a true and genuine commodity although I'll be rooting for Morrell. I think Morrell has the size, length and skill set to not allow Benavidez to get his shots off and really trouble him.

    They kind of look like brothers arguing on a hot summer day, but I have to admit Benavidez looks out of shape.

    The dude lost his belt due to a coke habit at the age of 22, we shouldn´t expect too much from him. I would be shocked if he doesn´t end up like Broner or Chavez Jr.

    Great scrap. It's one of those bouts I almost forget about, and get extremely fascinated by on the fight week.

    Benavidez is acting strange its like he can't cope with the fact that he's fighting someone his own size or larger that isnt scared of him or he can bully

    Didn't he just fight a guy that was way bigger than him?
