Gotta be a distance fight, surely.

I keep going back-and-forth on this, but after much consideration, I’m going with David, and to win fairly easily.

I've gone for over 7.5 rounds.

What a banger. Logical pick is Benavidez, because of all that experience, plus he looks an indestructible beast.
But the outlier is The Cuban is a real talent, who will exploit Benvenidez being pretty straightforward and easy to hit. I like his confidence, I’d have a bet on him but the odds aren’t that tempting yet.. Plus his ridiculous resume is jarring, calling him a two-time world champion with something like eight fights.

No Olympics, I don’t know who beat him for the Olympic spot, but it is Cuba after all, any big amateur wins on his record?

But there’s some truth in what he says, Benvenidez beating a lot of fighters coming up and down in weight, and near retirement.

Anyone know what boxing news is predicting?

I imagine they’re going for Benvenidez

Really interesting fight. Both tall, aggressive and carry power.

Would have to bet on Benavidez though, surely Morell can’t match him for toughness.

I'm going with Goliath.
I'm thinking an upset on the cards .

Cracking fight but £20 to watch it

Kind of fight allegedly used to pick up 48 hrs before fight night, I miss those days

I'm psyched for this one, gents. I'm backing Morrell and Figueroa.

Benevidez late on

Anyone watching the prelims?

WHAAAAT a great card this has turned out to be , main 1 rnd finished its GREAAT

RND 2 ,,, Speed ,, power ,,, skills ,, who won rnd , don't know , both great fight

Fook ,, this shows how good boxing is when , prime meets prime , David Bena shaded that rnd very strong very aggressive

Whaaat a fight , Benadvidez maybee a bit too strong hitting a bit too hard , But Morrel comes back , cracking fight

Benevides , looking stronger , BUT Morrel still in it ,

Rnd 7 Morrell just can't push him back , constant non stop action

Rnd 9 it looked like Bena is just a bit too strong and hits a little bit harder but still cracking fight , Now boys and girls this is why you should'nt stream , Rnd 10 i lost the stream , by the time i got it back they were just taking a point of Morrel , think he knocked him down after the bell , Rnd 12 a cracker .

All in all a cracking show , especielly when i was up half the night watching the British show , Cruz -- Fierro was a cracker has well , shove Azim in with one of them guys and see how he does , LOL it will never happen ,

Whats left for Benavidez , a rematch would be a good fight , Canelo will duck him for shore ,, would Bivol or BEITERBIEV , FIGHT HIM , DON'T KNOW BUT i would salivate at the mouth for any of them especielly Beiterbiev , .

Perhaps him or Morrel go to cruiser and fight Jai , although if they had sence they would want big money for that , MORREL OR bENAVIDEZ both beat Jai hands down , just plain too good and hit too hard , i think both would stop him .

Some great fights out there if the King wants to throw the money that way , hope so , I don't want to see him wasting it on guys like Azim , fighting underweight 35 year olds past ther use by date . which does seem to be a british thing , they seem to love , Good fighters who have grown , too old, and 2 divisons smaller or tough Aussie with limited skill level

Was hoping these fights would've been uploaded to Daily Motion but no joy yet, I watched the first couple rounds of the Fulton/Figueroa rematch on YouTube but it was one of those ones where you don't get full screen and it constantly skips I had to turn it off it was unbearable


PBC as well as being scamming bastards wait about 2 years to upload fights on their page, can't understand why they have to wait that long surely a month would suffice

Cracking fight. Benavidez clear winner though

For ppv’s, a week max.

Upload a nice clean version to PBC YouTube and they’ll get thousands views. The fights still fresh and they get plenty of ad revenue.

They so daft

Exactly it's like they think if the punters won't shell out their ridiculous ppv prices then they'll never get to see it, strange outfit PBC, put on some good shows but are obsessed with ppv and show zero interest in building guys profiles
