David Benavidez vs David Morrell / Brandon Figueroa vs Stephen Fulton 2 set for February 1

That’s a badass double header

 

Benavidez and Figueroa by stoppage

 

It's going to be a PPV, so 2 more fights will likely get added to the undercard.

 

Wonder if Morrell can pull off the upset? Unlikely I think.

 

Updated PPV undercard.

David Benevidez vs David Morrell
Figueroa vs Fulton II
Pitbull Cruz vs Angel Fierro
Jesus Ramos Jr vs Jeison Rosario

 

Interesting. Last I heard Valenzuela was rematching Cruz, not that I'm complaining if that fight's been scrapped. Hopefully this frees him up for Hiraoka to get his shot.

 

Morrell has a decent chance at an upset. I see the fight being close in the first 6 rounds, but I think Benevidez will pull away down the stretch and may get a stoppage. I always thought Morrell was Benevidez’s biggest challenge outside of Canelo at 168, so this is a great fight.

I don’t think Fulton will win the rematch. He has lost his fire and he doesn’t love boxing anymore. The fighter who is more passionate about the sport will win.
