More coco with Morell money ❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@ecw787]

Morrell showed incredible heart. The casuals need to realise, Canelo is too small for Benavidez. We need a LHW undisputed fight between the Artur/Bivol vs Benavidez. Or he can move up to CW and face Jai to secure his legacy instead of chasing after a midget Canelo

[@shawnterrance7204]

yep

[@terrellwilliams2006]

😂😂 poor ass excuse. Crawford coming up 3 weight classes to fight canelo. Berlinga was to big for canelo and he still fault him.

Canelo is small for 168 if he can't fight 6ft plus guys he has no business at 168.

Mira que pendejo, LOL! Inactive high guard against Canelo makes you a sitting duck! Unlike Benavidez, Canelo stops this guy. He showed so many flaws tonight. I was shocked at the amount of correctable mistakes he kept making.

Morell is a great fighter. Benevidez is a beast but doesn't carry his power to 175lbs.

Only his 2nd fight @175 Wait til he get a couple more fights😂 an learn to control his breathing at that weight...I know you seen them both gassing out

props to morell for daring to be great he didnt have to take this fight morell is mentally strong other fighters wouldve probably quit against benavidezzz tonight

Morell had a good chance in winning the fight but he just didn’t throw more.Benavidez work rate gave him the edge

[@folkscrazyouthere3076]

Wasnt work rate , it was Benavidez catching his punches and accuracy , I've been saying Benevidez has underrated defense especially in the pocket.

[@ancynmaugervakacegu646]

@ Did you see Benavidez face after the fight?that’s not a good defence,imagine up there with Berterbiev or Bivol.

[@shawnterrance7204]

i wonder what benavidezzz said about morells power morells power is legit me sayin morell had a punchers chance almost happened at one point in the fight fr

[@doe3-i9j]

he said he thought he would hit harder than that and he was easy to hit

[@Tabooza]

He said it wasn't nothing special

[@joses3717]

He said that morell definitely had the most power out of all of his opponents .

[@MrBri0523]

Did you see Benavidez's face?

Look at benevidez face two cuts and a bulgy eye. Morell did more damage

[@D35-m8o]

@@fabolousjada5070 he already suffered a cut last training camp so it was expected. Morell got his body beat up and his face took some serious damage

[@peacethroughstrength172]

Negative boy. And he gave zero credit to DB El mero monstro mejicano after schooling him. By rd 3 DM was done, was lost and had the look to boot. Most his shots were blocked! No need for a rematch. Go back to the drawing board and where ya at? Those saying he d KO DB? Not even close.

[@mlin3129]

DB hit the canvas. DM HAS MORE POP. DM can take DB punches we just saw that. A second fight is a must

[@sunup2sundown]

He fought Benavidez fight to much in the early rounds- to much expended energy an battling with a strong powerful opponent

[@CeeBarrio1]

Morells defense standing stlll holding his gloves up repeatedly let Benavidez pull down his left glove and come over the top and just throwing punches to keep Benavidez off instead of countering and placing shots. Standing right in front head down catching uppetcuts with his face. He won maybe 3 or 4 rounds

[@jeromecrockett2311]

That's kind of cheating.. grabbing someone arm should be illegal

[@DaveBoxing]

​@jeromecrockett2311 😂😂😂😂😂 y'all are funny.. that's a trick Morrell uses himself. DB just did it better

[@chrisgullett4332]

Winning 4 rounds is close to winning. Saying somebody won 4 round is not a bad thing. Winning 4 rounds and getting knockdown, means you lost by 1 point. How is winning 4 rounds a bad thing? Winning 6 rounds each is a draw. By your logic, had he not gotten a point deducted, won 4 rounds plus the knockdown, had he won 5 rounds it would have been a draw.

[@CeeBarrio1]

@@chrisgullett4332 if he didn't get the point deducted it could have been a majority draw but from what I saw Benavidez won. I'm Cuban I almost laid down 500 on Morell and then I said to myself "I'm not an illegal getting 4000 a month plus EBT and free room and board plus 3 meals a day" so I didn't and i still got my 500

[@mlin3129]

Never capitalized when he had him

[@antoniocardenas139]

I believe if his gas tank was has large has Benavides it would have been a closer fight.

[@nitrousking23]

Nawl they both was gassed David.B just managed his better

Rematch needed because he definitely deserves one with his performance and the knockdown he got makes me feel like benavidez owes him one it will be a big fight better than the first i reckon someone gets stopped next time and it could be morell taking back the belts
