I was more impressed with Benevidez defense tonight - he slipped, moved, and used his high guard to really nullify a lot more of Morrell's offense than I thought he would. I expected Morrell to look/perform better (in spurts). I expected Benevidez to win, but I didn't think it would be quite so clear cut
Hahahahahaha that is the worse take I have ever heard. Did you see his face in the post fight press conference??? Dude was cut above both eyes. Was hurt in the fight 3 times and was “dropped” what defense still looks slow tired flat footed and no head movement. And morrell only has 12 pro fights. Canelo would eat him alive
@@antoniotrevino5785Fr lol he was literally getting tagged all night. That short right that morrell landed and would of dropped him if Benavides didn’t hold onto morell. If beterbiev lands that he’s going to sleep
@antoniotrevino5785 I'm not saying he didn't get hit at all - obviously Morrell landed some, but how many times did Morrell land consecutive punches? I expected a LOT more of a slugfest, and David did a much better job than I expected (and that he has done in past) - going into this, I didn't think of Benevidez as "defensively responsible* at all - he would eat a lot of combos. But yesterday, he was bobbing/weaving attempting to avoid Morrell's punches. I guess he kinda started with Andrade, but go check out his earlier fights - his head didn't move off the line much at all.
@@sdriza the thing you forget is it only takes one punch to go to sleep. Praising a professional fighter for not eating multiple shots in a row says a lot about the “monster” I’ll say it again morrell has 12 pro fights. Canelo would destroy this dude and then after he does I bet he pulls a berlanga and says “well I know I have a big mouth but that’s because canelo is my hero”
Casuals. Knockouts often times happen on punches that the opponent doesn't see coming. You can have power and still not knock out your opponent. You also have to factor in your opponents chin. Some guys fight to set traps for the knock out like Tank. Benavidez just boxes and whatever happens happens. Punches in bunches beating his opponents the F up!
@MillionaireLid well, if that's the case, they need to stop calling benavidez the mexican monster because that shit was only working with smaller fighters 😂
People are so focused on Bivol's i.q. and Beterbiev's power that they forget Benavidez's hand speed. I can see his fast hands giving those eastern European fighters FITS because NEITHER have faced anybody able to put combinations as fast as David
Only if David’s fast long shotgun jab is a variable in the fight. Benavidez has the fastest hands, but Bivol has the quickest feet. Hand speed is negated when fast footwork puts itself in the better position like Floyd did to manny
David Benavidez seems to be getting better imo. He’s much improved. He’s not just walking forward with his hands down anymore. He’s displaying patience and defensive responsibility. He was blocking and rolling a lot of punches. He’s fighting smarter. Also good body work.
Benavidez looked great! Improving every time out for me and much tighter technically. I would favour Bivol on styles but the Beterbiev fight would be very (very) competitive. My only criticism of Benavidez is his conditioning... a few fights consistently now he isn't performing as well through the championship rounds. Vs the P4P elite, that isn't going to cut it... Great fights at Cruiser as well if he ever wants to step up again.
Benavides a problem for anyone, Russians too. Great engine, speed, defense, and fighting spirit. Pitbull should go back to 135. Doesnt seem to hit as hard at 140, and I fear he's gonna get KOd when he meets a puncher at the higher weight.
Bro why do they keep calling Dmitry Bivol a “Russian” lol his mom is Korean and he was born in Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 which is in Central Asia , not in Russia 😂😂
@@juandoe7802 sure but they could fight at a catch-weight ....if Canelo vs Crawford can happen, then this too is possible. Also don't forget that Usyk started as a cruiserweight and then went up and beat Joshua + Fury twice
Bro. David benavidez got rocked and knocked down by an inexperienced fighter in the 11th round. What makes you think he can handle those big guys moving up?
@@jaleman777 bro check the knockdown again it was an arm push and feet getting tangled he was not hurt at all in the 11th even after the illegal punch morrel threw
The Canelo fans really trying to downplay Benavediz performance here. He fought a well schooled Cuban boxer in his prime and won 8-4 or 9-3. To the Canelo fans, if Benavediz is so easy, who wouldn’t your boy fight him ?? Don’t give me the lack of a name excuse. Benavediz gates have always been good and look at the crowd last night. Canelo is overrated and most boxing fans and not fan boys know that.
Let's be honest Canelo is trash worst resume in boxing he's been knocked out a whole bunch of times David benavidez the cash cow the face of boxing pay-per-view King it's not Canelo and it's not tank Davis they both can't sell nothing David made over 100 million dollars last night not even domestic violence Floyd Mayweather made that
WTF……BASIC BENNY BEAT A PROSPECT……….Let’s not forget it was him who ducked the Canelo fight TWICE last year. When the wbc announced last Feb they was gonna order negotiations to start after Canelos May fight….Benny said I’m going to 175 but will be back. The wbc go back to him sept and say ok let’s get this fight popping, basic Benny says I need a few more weeks to decide before coming back and saying no AGAIN……HE DUCKED TWICE LAST YEAR.
7:55 very impressed by scooter. Glad he got his eye of the tiger back after getting embarrassed. I was very surprised by how easy he made it look. Sharp counters, good movement, so focused it looked like he was in a trance
Bivol and Beterbiev win easily. I want Benavidez to fight someone like Yarde first. He’s not amazing but he has that dawg in him and he has pop in his punch.
Alot of those punches bounced off of Morrell and had no effect Morrell should have set traps and fainted he gave Benavidez trouble but when he sat still Benavidez would go off and land some power punches. More head movement and experience would have helped.
great analysis....I really thought DB would have trouble with Bivol and Beterbiev, but after last night...... Eastern Europeans don't seen to be great inside fighters, on the other hand Gvozdyk didn't really let DB get him on the inside. Benavidez just keeps getting better
Morrell is a dog, once he gets like 2 more nice fights he gonna be unstoppable.. Benavidez hit him with some clean shots and he took it pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Morrell stood in front of way too much and allowed Benavidez to get off punches that landed and scored.
David benavidez knockout canelo and Terence Crawford at the same night Dave Matthews is the real cash cow pay-per-view king of boxing not tank Davis or Canelo
@ what a stupid reply , didn’t you see morell barely did defense en still banavidez couldn’t even drop him once but was hurt multiple times ? Fan boys are incredibly they super humanize people
Bivols footwork is what will give Benavidez issues. He will look more comfortable with Beterbiev but his defensive style of catching on his arms may become an issue over time.
@Miklo_1 Bivol put on a boxing clinic against canelo. Canelo was forced into survival mode. The fact that Canelo has an iron chin is irrelevant. The point here is that Bivol will utilize the same tactics of not letting benavidez catch and shoot or letting him get downhill for more than a few seconds. It's a tough outing for benavidez and as a fan of both not sure who to root for.
Canelo fans were all twerking to a canelo Alvarez picture 🤣🖼️ while cheering for david morrell jr .after morell loss canelo fans turned lesbians at midnight like Cinderella 😅
The Foot Shuffle is HIGH IQ Move too, it confuses the Opponent while distracting their eye sight down to the feet so they won't see the next punch coming.
If Morrell would have been more experienced and used his movements and angles more he would have beat Benavidez. I think Bivol schools Benavidez and Beterbiev KOs Benavidez
@@seps26dave beterbiev been dropped twice david only once 8+ years ago last night in the 11th rd was a arm push feet getting tangled bad call by the ref
Benavidez can give Bivol a hell of a fight and stand his ground and hurt him, beat him? Bivol is a special fighter, and Well we need to see the fight, Beterbiev is a freight train and hard to stop for any fighter, Benavidez needs to stay kool and stay away from Beterbiev's right hand, easier said than done, the age factor could play in favor of Benavidez stamina and speed, Beterbiev is a beast but he's not getting any younger, and if Benavidez fights him next year he'll be fresher and well rested unlike Beterbiev's coming from two wars against Bivol with more wear and tear on his 40 plus years fighter body.
I'm noticing that since David moved up, his punches don't have the same pop...fight after fight, he landed some great shots.... these guys kept coming. Either they all took it well, or Davids power is not there at this weight.
@@sleepieeyes3551 u can tell his opponents at 68 broke down faster and couldn't take it at 75 his 2 fights not really the same now we see if he fights the 2 top guys
I actually believe David B’s style is more benficial vs Bivol (plus theyve sparred) i’d like to see Morrell vs Beterbiev. Think those style mach-ups are better. If theres a rubber match for Beterbiev-Bivol, maybe these 2 run it back!
I see a lot of people saying benavidez has no chance against bivol or beterbiev but tbh who does? I think honestly they are just so elite that they’re basically in a league of their own
Benavidez is spence before he got loss on bud,pressure fighter,and the question who the kryptonite??the mental pressure its make the opponent cant explain at all theyll skill
David Morrell beats him in a rematch...lol Morrell is built like a brick shithouse Paulie...inexperience plagued Morrell last night....Morrell is a Monster in the making!
Hey Paulie, you bring up a very good question. Not sure Benavidez, at this point with his skill set, will do well against Bivol or Beterbiev. Perhaps he’d get outclassed against Bivol and prob crushed by Beterbiev with accuracy shots.
Paulie!! Salute. You are dawg as a fighter, and still a dawg with your perspective. I have always appreciated you for that. Boxing is better with you in it for sure. Yo, Benevidez vs Morrell was a hell of a fight! As a fan I was too happy with the entire night as a paying customer as well. However, I did see something with Benevidez performance vs Morrell. Imo, I think he proved his point at 175 but the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev is not a battle he just "Has" to go for. His campaign was at 168 and I dont think he should just let it go yet. Everybody knows David is taking these fights in "Downtime" of anticipating his "Earned" place to fight Canelo. Benevidez has nothing else to prove at this point to be heard by Canelo. For me personally, I believe he really deserves to fight Canelo with belts on the line at 168. Benevidez really wants to fight Canelo, and Canelo needs to give him a shot just that simple. No matter the belt "weight" in regards to amount each fighter has. Canelo needs to give him a shot. With that being said, while Benevidez showed experience vs Morrell in the late rounds with an impressive victory. In my opinion, Canelo will pick him apart rounds 6-9 due to Benevidez not knowing how to pace himself. With a split decision win for Canelo (Todays Prediction). If Benevidez would of paced himself in my self proclaimed "Deep Water" rounds (6-9). Benevidez could of got him out of there in 11 or 12. Just like Canelo got Plant out in late rounds. Thats what I wanted to see from Benevidez. Can you close, and know how to map out the full ride of 12. Anyway, dope content Paulie. I learn alot listening to you. Respect and Blessings to you brother. It was a great weekend and I had so much fun. Long live Boxing! Shout out to Benevidez and Morrell. Yall earned a true fan for sure and even more respect. Blessings
I want to see Stephen Fulton vs. Angelo Leo 2. A rematch and a unification bout, not something you often see. A lot of people, especially Ameeican fans, wrote Stephen Fulton off, but I think he proved tonight that he is still elite. Angelo Leo has improved greatly since his loss to Fulton, and I think that is the best fight to make at featherweight right now.
Yes scooter was wearing boxing shoes lol there’s this dude named the shoe surgeon who takes boxing shoes and designs them in different ways for a lot of the top guys
Good commentary from someone who’s been there. Benavidez looked very good.Cuts? Olivia looked very impressive in prelims- but got tagged in last round !! Fulton fought well but fights are boring as he can’t hit hard enough. Figueroa took the night off.
Yo I have to say this: bro u show me more and more how much u can be a boxer and still not know boxing real talk because sometimes his breakdowns be on point then times like this show that he really don't know much about boxing. No disrespect respect I just don't get it
Benavidez is one of those fighters that if you knock him down when gets back up he fights harder. He is a rarity in boxing going after the best he is who is going after it reminds me of Oscar how he fights the best and is going hunting. And like Trinidad how he gets better after he gets knocked down
Morrell gets back into the mix in time, Artur keeps fighting after Bivol beats him again, and we could have the modern day 4 kingz at 175. I do see Alvarez finally facing Benavidez in 2026!
Let’s not pretend Bivol beat a healthy Canelo… He obviously gassed in that fight (he wasn’t able to train for a lot of the fight because of a hand injury + he went vegan for part of that training camp.
Bivol v Benavidez is interesting if David can keep the pressure up and actually cut the ring off and walk Bivol down great, but I think he would need a stoppage because Bivol is too swift on his feet and he hits you at angles, The first half should be dominated by bivol and if Bivol fades the second half could go to Benavidez
David has even more in his bag. He can change levels and use his jab more to get in and move his head. You heard the corner earlier in the fight asking him to do it so clearly he practices it. He also did move his head at times last night. I just think he was comfortable in there last night and felt he didnt need any of it
He is improving defensively but now question his chin at the heavier weight classes. He is going to eventually be knocked out by a clean hard shot as a light heavyweight. Not a big monster he was as a middleweight.
I believe Morrell is an excellent fighter. With a few more fights, he would've had a better chance of winning. Experience was the X factor in this fight.
Awesome work Paulie 💜 Benavidez is going to be hard to beat IMO. He can undoubtedly be an all time great! 🇲🇽 The knockdown in round 11 was blocked and did not land unlike how it looked at the time of the fight. There are postings on the internet of it. Feet got tangled and the punch was blocked 100%.
I think David’s next fight will depend on who wins the Russian fight. If Bivol wins there will be a trilogy, so DB will rematch Morrell. If Beterbiev wins, Beterbiev will fight DB. No ducking at 175 division.
Benevidez did show out, but not enough power at this weight. Experience did play a big factor in this fight and that’s what counts. Morrell did give rounds away because of the pace, he could not keep up. Can Benevidez deal with the top 2 light heavy weights? I don’t think so but we will soon see. Bivol can keep up the pace and he will be able to fire back and keep Benevidez hands on defense. Does Bivol have the power to make Benevidez respect him absolutely, so it makes a very interesting fight. Beterbiev is whole different fight, big power and he brings that pace and pressure. It will come down to if Benevidez can deal with the power of Beterbiev. I do think both can beat Benevidez but he will be in the fight until the 8-9 round and that’s when things will begin to change. Bivol by unanimous decision or TKO. Beterbiev by late TKO. The fight will be very interesting..
The real question is what happens when Benavidez fights someone his size and when I say size I mean weight on fight night. The whole reason Benavidez can walk guys down the way he does is because physically he’s so much bigger on fight night. Dude still has no power
I still don’t get the Beterbiev “would destroy Benavidez” talk. Dude is 40 and he is much slower. Bivol would be the more difficult fight. I think Benavidez pressure would break old man Beterbiev in the late rounds.
I favor the russians but i dunno i can see him win. He hit Morrell ALOT and it didn't look like he really damage him. I'm pretty certain the power becomes an issue at cruiser, i don't think he can hurt Opetaia or Breidis(at least his last 2 outings).
80% of what you said is a fact and I think Benavidez VS Bivol is a more interesting fight. I think if King Artur is not 100% he is beatable and Benavidez could have a chance however. King Artur is unstoppabke at 175. Great fight of Benavidez is a Great fighter and he proved himself that he is capable to challenge anyone at the 175 pnd division. Morrel has learned a lot in that fight with Benavidez. Thanks Pauli. Ciao.💪🏽
Everyone saying Benevidez doesnt have power at 175 dont know shit about fighting, let alone boxing. For Morrell to be shelling up the way he was, Benevidez at least hits hard enough to get respect. And for his style, that's half the battle. He's never been a 1 shot guy. He's a cardio machine, not Mike Tyson.
I see Benavides offensively improving being more tricky and utilizing well his hand speed but the only thing I don’t like it’s defensively I didn’t like him in that fight cause even tho Morell lack of experience he was able to hurt him against beterbiev or Bivol you can get away with that and I don’t like the fact that he slows down a lot in the late rounds I feel like he needs to improve more in that area if he wants to compete with them but offensively he got all the tools to win those fights
Beterbiev the only guy with the skill and power to upset the Mexican monster. People saying he got no power at 175. Go watch Floyd piece up Canelo who was the bigger puncher. I believe benavidez still has that pop in his punches to make his opponents think twice before coming in. It’s the skills.
David hasn’t knocked down a 175 pound fighter yet, yet alone knocked one out. Beterbiev finally went the distance with the best defensive fighter in the division, and that’s while he was dealt with a knee injury in camp. He’s already knocked out much bigger guys than Morrell. He stopped Gvozdyk, hot rod, and Yarde. If benavidez goes forehead to forehead with beterbiev like he did against Morrell he’s going to sleep quick. I’ve never seen benavidez fight any other style than coming forward and morrell matched him forehead to forehead and walked out on his feet. Benavidez wont make it to the 12th doing that with beterbiev, but it’s the only style he’s shown us. He’s never fought the style that bivol fought vs beterbiev
Make a rehydration clause when fought benavidez,the most opponent said at the fight night benavidez bigger,boo boo said,morrell if ik wrong said at post fight presser,but morrell suceed make mark on benavidez face
No one is given morrell credit for the knock down, and that reff liked david Benavides took a point away from morrell and didn't even give morrell a warning. It would've been a draw 50/50 fight for the knock down.
Benavidez matches up equally to both Bivol & Beterbiev. Based on their last fight, I didn’t see anything that was noticeably above Benavidez. Other than Beterbiev’s power (which is dangerous for anyone) Bena matches up well with them! Imo
Using boxing’s conventional rock paper scissors styles make fights Artur the slugger would give hell to Benavidez the swarmer, but Ben would give Bivol the boxer a hard time. This of course is a simplification. Both Ben and Artur can box behind their good jabs
Benavidez improved slightly every time he fights I just wonder will he go on to the next level when he does fight beterbiev and Bivol because if he does those Russians are in big big trouble . I would favor benavidez over those two if they were to fight later in the year . Benavidez would be the younger fresher and faster and has enough power when he lands 2-3 punches could even hurt those two guys
I can't see him walking down Arthur - he may get a body shot in here and there but he ain't hurting Arthur. It will get to a point where Arthur will take one to give one, and his short power punches do damage. David ain't winning toe to toe with Arthur. Bivol will simply outbox him, too elusive and evasive and will counter the f outta him. You saw how Bivol handled Arthur pressure and he landed more cleaner power punches than Arthur. The whispers of David getting the better of Bivol in sparring, and as Bivol said, ''my sparring partners sometimes get the better because it is only sparring and I am practising techniques''
Ironically at the end Two "robocops"in the ring. The cuban school, angles and dancing around Benavidez on holidays in the Bahamas. Never saw Morrel's right foot outside Benavidez's left foot. Morrel would have won easily if he would dance around like Lara when he beat Canelo. It would have been easy work, really. Morrel had better condition, longer arm reach (4 inches), better chin, more power, faster legs, younger, than Lara and could have dance for 12 rounds and land his powerful jab and straight left on the chin using that 4 inches advantage arms reach but decided to fight in the inside and squared like Benavides himself; who is a good fighter and 30 pounds heavier than him. Ask Canelo who can not dance like Morrel does. I can't undestand why Ronnie didn't use the same strategy. Don't know who to blame, if Ronnie, Morrel or both for the wrong strategy since round 1 and not adjust already inn the 3rd round. A good display of balls and good chin that cost him the fight, what a pitty! Next time better Champ, we are always with you!
Sorry, I just never saw anything special about Morrell. He's 27 and only had 11 pro fights. Big deal. Only fighters I've seen that were special with so few fights were Loma and possibly Kostya Tszyu. Benavidez ends up staring at the ring lights versus Canelo.
I was more impressed with Benevidez defense tonight - he slipped, moved, and used his high guard to really nullify a lot more of Morrell's offense than I thought he would.

exactly ive been saying this. he knows how to break and wear down his opponents. his power will surprise you but not that ONE PUNCH type of power.
lol
Why do you guys think if somebody doesn’t get knocked out the guy doesn’t have power?
Because they’re casuals
The average boxing fan is a couch potato that has never laced up or been in a legit fight.

Am I the only one who thinks Benavidez is severely overrated? He has no power at 175
Yes, yes you are😊

Yeah that’s a dumb take
Alot of those punches bounced off of Morrell and had no effect Morrell should have set traps and fainted he gave Benavidez trouble but when he sat still Benavidez would go off and land some power punches. More head movement and experience would have helped.
@ his footwork is lacking as well. He’s obviously a good fighter but he’s levels below Bivol and Beterbiev
Morrell barely threw jabs or body shots and made it competitive smh
What a dissapointment
great analysis....I really thought DB would have trouble with Bivol and Beterbiev, but after last night...... Eastern Europeans don't seen to be great inside fighters, on the other hand Gvozdyk didn't really let DB get him on the inside. Benavidez just keeps getting better
Morrell is a dog, once he gets like 2 more nice fights he gonna be unstoppable.. Benavidez hit him with some clean shots and he took it pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Morrell stood in front of way too much and allowed Benavidez to get off punches that landed and scored.
I was disappointed in Morell bro
Big fan of Paulie TV. From Australia 🦘
Do you people feel embarrassed because of Kambosos?
Definitely not Cowardo AlvaROID 😂😂
David benavidez knockout canelo and Terence Crawford at the same night Dave Matthews is the real cash cow pay-per-view king of boxing not tank Davis or Canelo
I thought Fulton was gonna get stopped. I was wrong. Stephen did well!
@@jmiller967 it was the Tim’s
@ 🤣
The only reason benavidez won is mainly because morell has litle experience other than that next fight morell would destroy him
What a stupid statement.estroy him?You have no clue .
@ what a stupid reply , didn’t you see morell barely did defense en still banavidez couldn’t even drop him once but was hurt multiple times ? Fan boys are incredibly they super humanize people
Bivols footwork is what will give Benavidez issues. He will look more comfortable with Beterbiev but his defensive style of catching on his arms may become an issue over time.
But Bivol couldn’t even KO the declined Canelo.
@Miklo_1 Bivol put on a boxing clinic against canelo. Canelo was forced into survival mode. The fact that Canelo has an iron chin is irrelevant. The point here is that Bivol will utilize the same tactics of not letting benavidez catch and shoot or letting him get downhill for more than a few seconds. It's a tough outing for benavidez and as a fan of both not sure who to root for.
Beterviev, Bivol, Benavidez = BBB is a great time for this division.
Canelo fans were all twerking to a canelo Alvarez picture 🤣🖼️ while cheering for david morrell jr .after morell loss canelo fans turned lesbians at midnight like Cinderella 😅
Bivol and beterbiev both demolish benavidez
The Foot Shuffle is HIGH IQ Move too, it confuses the Opponent while distracting their eye sight down to the feet so they won't see the next punch coming.
If Morrell would have been more experienced and used his movements and angles more he would have beat Benavidez. I think Bivol schools Benavidez and Beterbiev KOs Benavidez
Db already took bivols soul in sparring and beterbievs chin is iffy and too slow
@@Mexicoon69 Sparring 🤣🤣🤣
@Mexicoon69 Beterbiev is no joke you are delusional i bet Beterbiev has a better chin than Benavidez
“Ifs” don’t exist in boxing casual. Get over it, the better man won. IF my aunt had a 🍆 she would be my uncle
@@seps26dave beterbiev been dropped twice david only once 8+ years ago last night in the 11th rd was a arm push feet getting tangled bad call by the ref
People aren’t going to realize how big this win is until Morrell beats everyone else other than Benavidez at 175.
Benavidez can give Bivol a hell of a fight and stand his ground and hurt him, beat him? Bivol is a special fighter, and Well we need to see the fight, Beterbiev is a freight train and hard to stop for any fighter, Benavidez needs to stay kool and stay away from Beterbiev's right hand, easier said than done, the age factor could play in favor of Benavidez stamina and speed, Beterbiev is a beast but he's not getting any younger, and if Benavidez fights him next year he'll be fresher and well rested unlike Beterbiev's coming from two wars against Bivol with more wear and tear on his 40 plus years fighter body.
Paulie why are you not training young boxers that fit your style? You are to damn knowledgeable bro😅
I agree. I think he's not ready for them right now
Rematch it is
Benavidez face shows you he was wearing the marks he got cut 3 times both eyes and nose
Did you see Morrel's eyes? Almost shut. Had to wear sunglasses.
I'm noticing that since David moved up, his punches don't have the same pop...fight after fight, he landed some great shots.... these guys kept coming. Either they all took it well, or Davids power is not there at this weight.
Ya it worked with the smaller guys not the bigger guys
So it didn’t look like he had power last night?
@@sleepieeyes3551 not like 68 bro
@ Did all his fights at 168 end with knockouts?
@@sleepieeyes3551 u can tell his opponents at 68 broke down faster and couldn't take it at 75 his 2 fights not really the same now we see if he fights the 2 top guys
Great question Paulie! Personally I think that would cost him against Bivol or Beterbiev
I actually believe David B’s style is more benficial vs Bivol (plus theyve sparred) i’d like to see Morrell vs Beterbiev. Think those style mach-ups are better. If theres a rubber match for Beterbiev-Bivol, maybe these 2 run it back!
If I’m Anthony yarde or callum smith I’m licking my chops at a fight vs benavidez they can give him a run for his money
😂😂
I see a lot of people saying benavidez has no chance against bivol or beterbiev but tbh who does? I think honestly they are just so elite that they’re basically in a league of their own
Benavidez is spence before he got loss on bud,pressure fighter,and the question who the kryptonite??the mental pressure its make the opponent cant explain at all theyll skill
David Morrell beats him in a rematch...lol Morrell is built like a brick shithouse Paulie...inexperience plagued Morrell last night....Morrell is a Monster in the making!
I want to see these three guys fight eachother. Beterbiev, Bivol, Benavidez. Morrell no joke either.
I think he has the skill to beat both Russians . But I don’t think he gets his shot at them.
Hey Paulie, you bring up a very good question. Not sure Benavidez, at this point with his skill set, will do well against Bivol or Beterbiev. Perhaps he’d get outclassed against Bivol and prob crushed by Beterbiev with accuracy shots.
Who ever said David had no defense is crazy
Paulie!! Salute. You are dawg as a fighter, and still a dawg with your perspective. I have always appreciated you for that. Boxing is better with you in it for sure. Yo, Benevidez vs Morrell was a hell of a fight! As a fan I was too happy with the entire night as a paying customer as well. However, I did see something with Benevidez performance vs Morrell. Imo, I think he proved his point at 175 but the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev is not a battle he just "Has" to go for. His campaign was at 168 and I dont think he should just let it go yet. Everybody knows David is taking these fights in "Downtime" of anticipating his "Earned" place to fight Canelo. Benevidez has nothing else to prove at this point to be heard by Canelo. For me personally, I believe he really deserves to fight Canelo with belts on the line at 168. Benevidez really wants to fight Canelo, and Canelo needs to give him a shot just that simple. No matter the belt "weight" in regards to amount each fighter has. Canelo needs to give him a shot.
With that being said, while Benevidez showed experience vs Morrell in the late rounds with an impressive victory. In my opinion, Canelo will pick him apart rounds 6-9 due to Benevidez not knowing how to pace himself. With a split decision win for Canelo (Todays Prediction). If Benevidez would of paced himself in my self proclaimed "Deep Water" rounds (6-9). Benevidez could of got him out of there in 11 or 12. Just like Canelo got Plant out in late rounds. Thats what I wanted to see from Benevidez. Can you close, and know how to map out the full ride of 12. Anyway, dope content Paulie. I learn alot listening to you. Respect and Blessings to you brother. It was a great weekend and I had so much fun. Long live Boxing! Shout out to Benevidez and Morrell. Yall earned a true fan for sure and even more respect. Blessings
I agree 100 with your take.....I don't always 😂...but your spot on. The eastern fighters are very skilled
I want to see Stephen Fulton vs. Angelo Leo 2. A rematch and a unification bout, not something you often see. A lot of people, especially Ameeican fans, wrote Stephen Fulton off, but I think he proved tonight that he is still elite. Angelo Leo has improved greatly since his loss to Fulton, and I think that is the best fight to make at featherweight right now.
You the man Paulie!!
Paulie was the knockout king 👑
The only input, like so many people said, I think Benavidez must focus to add more power at his punches
Yes scooter was wearing boxing shoes lol there’s this dude named the shoe surgeon who takes boxing shoes and designs them in different ways for a lot of the top guys
those timbs looked fresh asl. i was buggin' out when i first saw them.lol
@@ItWasEnnui i definitely did a double take lol
@ i was like, "damn, ths guy is really gonna fight in some boots?"lmao
@@ItWasEnnui 😭
If Benavidez works with Ward or creates a mentor like relationship with him, sky will be the limit for him
Good commentary from someone who’s been there.
Benavidez looked very good.Cuts?
Olivia looked very impressive in prelims- but got tagged in last round !!
Fulton fought well but fights are boring as he can’t hit hard enough.
Figueroa took the night off.
This fight was definitely better than Beterbiev/Bivol 1...way more excitement all around...better atmosphere!!
Yo I have to say this: bro u show me more and more how much u can be a boxer and still not know boxing real talk because sometimes his breakdowns be on point then times like this show that he really don't know much about boxing. No disrespect respect I just don't get it
Benavidez is one of those fighters that if you knock him down when gets back up he fights harder. He is a rarity in boxing going after the best he is who is going after it reminds me of Oscar how he fights the best and is going hunting. And like Trinidad how he gets better after he gets knocked down
It wasn’t a complete domination but very easy Benavidez win, he nullified a lot of Morells offense which was very impressive
Heyyy Paulie,,, hey hey Paulie,, anybody seen Paulie,, I'm gonna keep coming around here ,,, until somebody has seen Paulie 🧐
Morrell gets back into the mix in time, Artur keeps fighting after Bivol beats him again, and we could have the modern day 4 kingz at 175. I do see Alvarez finally facing Benavidez in 2026!
Let’s not pretend Bivol beat a healthy Canelo…
He obviously gassed in that fight (he wasn’t able to train for a lot of the fight because of a hand injury + he went vegan for part of that training camp.
If I lost and felt embarrassed, I'd use that excuse too. Bivol smokes him again.
Bivol v Benavidez is interesting if David can keep the pressure up and actually cut the ring off and walk Bivol down great, but I think he would need a stoppage because Bivol is too swift on his feet and he hits you at angles,
The first half should be dominated by bivol and if Bivol fades the second half could go to Benavidez
David has even more in his bag. He can change levels and use his jab more to get in and move his head. You heard the corner earlier in the fight asking him to do it so clearly he practices it. He also did move his head at times last night. I just think he was comfortable in there last night and felt he didnt need any of it
He is improving defensively but now question his chin at the heavier weight classes. He is going to eventually be knocked out by a clean hard shot as a light heavyweight. Not a big monster he was as a middleweight.
I believe Morrell is an excellent fighter. With a few more fights, he would've had a better chance of winning. Experience was the X factor in this fight.
Pitbull has improved tremendously....far better than he's ever been.
Anthony yarde beats benavidez
Awesome work Paulie 💜
Benavidez is going to be hard to beat IMO. He can undoubtedly be an all time great! 🇲🇽
The knockdown in round 11 was blocked and did not land unlike how it looked at the time of the fight. There are postings on the internet of it. Feet got tangled and the punch was blocked 100%.
I think David’s next fight will depend on who wins the Russian fight. If Bivol wins there will be a trilogy, so DB will rematch Morrell. If Beterbiev wins, Beterbiev will fight DB. No ducking at 175 division.
Benevidez did show out, but not enough power at this weight. Experience did play a big factor in this fight and that’s what counts. Morrell did give rounds away because of the pace, he could not keep up. Can Benevidez deal with the top 2 light heavy weights? I don’t think so but we will soon see. Bivol can keep up the pace and he will be able to fire back and keep Benevidez hands on defense. Does Bivol have the power to make Benevidez respect him absolutely, so it makes a very interesting fight. Beterbiev is whole different fight, big power and he brings that pace and pressure. It will come down to if Benevidez can deal with the power of Beterbiev. I do think both can beat Benevidez but he will be in the fight until the 8-9 round and that’s when things will begin to change. Bivol by unanimous decision or TKO. Beterbiev by late TKO. The fight will be very interesting..
The real question is what happens when Benavidez fights someone his size and when I say size I mean weight on fight night. The whole reason Benavidez can walk guys down the way he does is because physically he’s so much bigger on fight night. Dude still has no power
I still don’t get the Beterbiev “would destroy Benavidez” talk. Dude is 40 and he is much slower. Bivol would be the more difficult fight. I think Benavidez pressure would break old man Beterbiev in the late rounds.
EXPOSED, struggled again to a close decision, no power 😅
Canelo fan boy
I favor the russians but i dunno i can see him win. He hit Morrell ALOT and it didn't look like he really damage him. I'm pretty certain the power becomes an issue at cruiser, i don't think he can hurt Opetaia or Breidis(at least his last 2 outings).
I don't see anyone want smoke with BENAVIDEZ 💪😔
80% of what you said is a fact and I think Benavidez VS Bivol is a more interesting fight. I think if King Artur is not 100% he is beatable and Benavidez could have a chance however. King Artur is unstoppabke at 175.
Great fight of Benavidez is a Great fighter and he proved himself that he is capable to challenge anyone at the 175 pnd division. Morrel has learned a lot in that fight with Benavidez.
Thanks Pauli. Ciao.💪🏽
Everyone saying Benevidez doesnt have power at 175 dont know shit about fighting, let alone boxing. For Morrell to be shelling up the way he was, Benevidez at least hits hard enough to get respect. And for his style, that's half the battle. He's never been a 1 shot guy. He's a cardio machine, not Mike Tyson.
You sound moist & emotional. Or from Arizona.
With the shots Benavidez was landing, beterbiev would have stopped morrell.
Beterbiev is the one I'd like to see benevidez fight and no fulton would get crushed again by inoue
I wanna see benavidez vs callum smith.
Benavidez is a good fighter but he’s over hyped, Beterbiev and Bivol would beat him
I see Benavides offensively improving being more tricky and utilizing well his hand speed but the only thing I don’t like it’s defensively I didn’t like him in that fight cause even tho Morell lack of experience he was able to hurt him against beterbiev or Bivol you can get away with that and I don’t like the fact that he slows down a lot in the late rounds I feel like he needs to improve more in that area if he wants to compete with them but offensively he got all the tools to win those fights
Beterbiev the only guy with the skill and power to upset the Mexican monster.
People saying he got no power at 175. Go watch Floyd piece up Canelo who was the bigger puncher. I believe benavidez still has that pop in his punches to make his opponents think twice before coming in. It’s the skills.
Bivol has skill and Beterbiev has power.Both are a big problem for Benavidez.And i am a huge Benevidez fan.
You got great analysis
That walk down/constant pressure style aint workin on Beterbiev. Benavidez better pray Bivol wins the rematch
David hasn’t knocked down a 175 pound fighter yet, yet alone knocked one out. Beterbiev finally went the distance with the best defensive fighter in the division, and that’s while he was dealt with a knee injury in camp. He’s already knocked out much bigger guys than Morrell. He stopped Gvozdyk, hot rod, and Yarde. If benavidez goes forehead to forehead with beterbiev like he did against Morrell he’s going to sleep quick. I’ve never seen benavidez fight any other style than coming forward and morrell matched him forehead to forehead and walked out on his feet. Benavidez wont make it to the 12th doing that with beterbiev, but it’s the only style he’s shown us. He’s never fought the style that bivol fought vs beterbiev
Make a rehydration clause when fought benavidez,the most opponent said at the fight night benavidez bigger,boo boo said,morrell if ik wrong said at post fight presser,but morrell suceed make mark on benavidez face
No one is given morrell credit for the knock down, and that reff liked david Benavides took a point away from morrell and didn't even give morrell a warning. It would've been a draw 50/50 fight for the knock down.
Benavidez matches up equally to both Bivol & Beterbiev. Based on their last fight, I didn’t see anything that was noticeably above Benavidez. Other than Beterbiev’s power (which is dangerous for anyone) Bena matches up well with them! Imo
Using boxing’s conventional rock paper scissors styles make fights Artur the slugger would give hell to Benavidez the swarmer, but Ben would give Bivol the boxer a hard time. This of course is a simplification. Both Ben and Artur can box behind their good jabs
I don’t think he beats the current Beterbiev or Bivol. But those will be big fights.
Benavidez improved slightly every time he fights I just wonder will he go on to the next level when he does fight beterbiev and Bivol because if he does those Russians are in big big trouble . I would favor benavidez over those two if they were to fight later in the year . Benavidez would be the younger fresher and faster and has enough power when he lands 2-3 punches could even hurt those two guys
I can't see him walking down Arthur - he may get a body shot in here and there but he ain't hurting Arthur. It will get to a point where Arthur will take one to give one, and his short power punches do damage. David ain't winning toe to toe with Arthur. Bivol will simply outbox him, too elusive and evasive and will counter the f outta him. You saw how Bivol handled Arthur pressure and he landed more cleaner power punches than Arthur. The whispers of David getting the better of Bivol in sparring, and as Bivol said, ''my sparring partners sometimes get the better because it is only sparring and I am practising techniques''
Benavidez needs to wait Arthur beterbiev out until hes 42-43 yrs old! Arthur is too strong for David RN
Ironically at the end Two "robocops"in the ring. The cuban school, angles and dancing around Benavidez on holidays in the Bahamas. Never saw Morrel's right foot outside Benavidez's left foot. Morrel would have won easily if he would dance around like Lara when he beat Canelo. It would have been easy work, really. Morrel had better condition, longer arm reach (4 inches), better chin, more power, faster legs, younger, than Lara and could have dance for 12 rounds and land his powerful jab and straight left on the chin using that 4 inches advantage arms reach but decided to fight in the inside and squared like Benavides himself; who is a good fighter and 30 pounds heavier than him. Ask Canelo who can not dance like Morrel does. I can't undestand why Ronnie didn't use the same strategy. Don't know who to blame, if Ronnie, Morrel or both for the wrong strategy since round 1 and not adjust already inn the 3rd round. A good display of balls and good chin that cost him the fight, what a pitty! Next time better Champ, we are always with you!
Sorry, I just never saw anything special about Morrell. He's 27 and only had 11 pro fights. Big deal. Only fighters I've seen that were special with so few fights were Loma and possibly Kostya Tszyu. Benavidez ends up staring at the ring lights versus Canelo.
