I’ve been pretty disillusioned with this sport lately for a variety of reasons, which sucks because it’s one of my first loves. However, this was a great night of boxing. I’ve seen Morrell fight 7-8 times, but he’s athletic af. I can’t really think of a fighter he reminds me of. He’s a highly unique dude. Conversely, I would hate to fight DB.

I think both would be great matchups for whoever wins the rematch between Bivol/AB.
Morrell is too flawed/inexperienced for either one of them. He needs a round robin with the others at 175.

Bivol probably knocks benavidez out too

That's real shyt too. He is so fundamentally sound it's ridiculous. And he withstood Arturo shyt and prime Canelo (when he wasn't ducking).

There's just no way he's going to let David tee off on him. His power is vastly underrated. You saw him snapping Beterbiev head back too

I think david beats bivol but not beterviev.
Nah. Bivol is too skilled and disciplined. Yeah the size and pressure but Bivol has dealt with that time and time again.

It worked for Artur because of his power, David hasn't shown real LHW power to question Bivol's ability to stand up to him. Bivol has enough power to actually stop David but I don't think he'd push the gas pedal.

David matches up better with Beterbiev because they'll fight each other's fight.

I don't think his chin holds up against Artur

No diss but based on what?

Bivol is so fundamentally sound it's insane. He doesn't leave many openings and he's very economical. And he has great defense.

I'm not sure what you see but I personally think he's all wrong for David

Benavidez got calculated pressure and hes better at long range and inside has more variety to his punch selection while bivol better at mid range so he can jump in and out but its gonna be hard to do with someone with faster hands n fights "longer" than him. Betwrbiev just too naturally strong for him.

I think Bivol makes David very hesitant to go in there because he's going to hit him very hard and he's not going to be like Morrell and not be experienced enough.

David is going to be missing Bivol a LOT and getting clipped by a world-class LHW in return.

I have nothing against David and applaud him moving up and daring to be great. I think those two are just in a class of their own. Andre Ward he is not.

He would fight different against Beterbiev..Benavidez is smart.
