Bump (not that it matters) for the PICK EM' folks, me included.

[Joseph]

Yeah, I get the feeling Crawford realized he had enough at 154 and wants one last retirement fight, and who has the most money? Why, it's...

[Joseph]

We know that's why Benavidez moved up, but are we sure about Morrell? My understanding is he moved up to chase David. In fact, I don't recall him ever showing any real interest in fighting Canelo beyond a few throwaway "sure" quotes. He's always on about fighting Benavidez, correct me if I'm...

[Joseph]

This guy doesn't have all of his facts straight, but if you want a good laugh or are stoned or both, this is flipping funny...

[Joseph]

Problem is Kalajdzic is a pretty effective counter puncher and I think Morrell knew that. Benavidez will bring volume which I think Morrell is more accustomed to dealing with.

But the fight has been debunked by Benavidez, and so we wait......

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if Smith would have landed that shot about five seconds earlier, the entire fight might have ended differently. However, it is exceptionally rare for anyone to land a shot like that on Bivol and said shot, by subsequent evidence, seems to have been...

Maybe "can" is too harsh, but it's another old dude. Sigh....

[Joseph]

Dude, I meant Hart. Benavidez debunked the fight with Morrell....

[Joseph]

Hong Kong FOOEY! One-sided can crushing continues for Benny…

[Joseph]

I wonder if Bivol and Beterbiev actually filmed those scenes or if there is some AI trickery afoot? I work in the film/entertainment industry and can't really tell. Either way, that was LETHAL! 2.91m subscribers for Top Rank's YT channel and only 30k views in the last day. What a shame.

I applaud Benavidez for taking a step in the right direction. Nobody wanted to see him beat up on an over-matched Jesse Hart. No. One.

Both guys have 12 rounds in the bank at 175. Both guys carry high risk for one another. Both guys are lethal (ish at 175). I personally thought Morrell...

[Joseph]

To be fair, neither was he....

Mayer, DEC, Close x3
Rozicki, KO, Late

[Joseph]

Come on, Morrell... Don't duck it. Give us what we want!

[Joseph]

Truly a 50/50 fight that could very well end in a draw.

[Joseph]

Yes, thank you, and...

...

[Joseph]

If it’s a draw, the two will merge into the most lethal boxer alive: Beterbivol.

[Joseph]

While I cannot wait for this fight, I dread the inevitable "he was always a bum" posts that are sure to be directed at the loser post-fight.

It reminds me of Homer's reaction in that episode of The Simpsons where Bart and Lisa are on rival Pee Wee Hockey teams.

He's definitely in the right position to lead the new generation of HWs. Let's hope he takes it more seriously than Hearn's recently vanquished stooge.

Rise up in a different profession. Be a philanthropist or something. You're pretty good at that.
