Benavidez with destroy Morrell

Agreed. I'm about as socially ******* as they come (financially conservative); it's all a bunch of hogwash either way you go.

I hate AI. As an "artist," I reeeeeeeeeaaalllly hate AI.

Wow, you can't even use the word "l iberal" - what a joke.

[MulaKO]

Haha “Berlanga 2.0” Actually LOLed on that one. Morrell is nothing like Berlanga; he actually knows how to box.

The fact the poster says Morrell is Berlanga 2.0 and can’t box says it all
I would beg to know who he thinks is a good boxer then ???

I’m telling you man, it’s beyond pathetic. F ucking 1984.

AI is a threat to all the arts, and beyond. Graphic artists must be beside themselves, and writers not too far behind. Hate to be a doomsayer, but I don’t see it ending well for humanity.

Suppose it depends how much better he is than say Plant which hasn't been proven yet truly. If I was gonna bet id put my money on the monster but I'd love to see a shock result

Benavidez has fought better opponents, sure but look at this way they're half his size and have no pop. Well done you can walk down guys 15-20lbs smaller? Not really impressive.
All its done is ingrain bad habits then when he fights a real one his own size who can hit he has a big problem he isn't used to. He has fought what, two guys his own size? Some Romanian bum who put him on his a55 and a 40yr old Nail who was semi-retired and went the distance and gave him a tough fight despite looking awful. That wasn't the same fighter who fought Adonis or Beterbiev. That was a very worn, highly inactive old man who looked like he had rigor mortis.

I think his dad is a terrible trainer he has two sons blessed with the ability to cut obscene amounts of weight, durability, handspeed etc but frankly he knows nothing about footwork or fundamentals and simply for that reason I don't see him beating any decent, durable southpaw who has power let alone Morrell. Any trainer worth a damn **** teaches feet first he teaches a whole lot of shoe-shining, It doesn't matter how nice your hands are if you haven't the footwork to get in to position. A guy like this will only ever look a 'monster' if you stand in front of him replicating a punchbag. Show him lateral movement and you'll see just how ordinary he really is.

I think don't think for one moment Morrell is this 'phenom' either just a very good fighter. Good quality fighter but nothing special but he should have way too much and be far too classy to lose to this guy.

I agree with most of this, Dan. I don’t think Morrell’s a special fighter either. Right now, at least, he loses to both Bivol and Beterbiev. Both Davids do.

Spot on assessment IMO. I do think Morrell has potential to be very good, but I don't think he or Benavidez can beat Bivol or Beterbiev without some serious judge assistance, let alone the top cruiserweights like Benavidez is talking about. Benavidez is going to take a lot more punches than he's used to fighting someone his own size for once. And he still had a reach advantage vs Gvozdyk if memory serves, but won't in this fight.

Wait, Benavidez with "Destroy Morrell?" Does that mean he's hanging out with a destroyer?
