After a back-and-forth start, Benavidez took control punch by punch, never letting Morrell breathe with his trademark series of thundering hooks and uppercuts.
One fighter who would fight any of them is undefeated Morrell, (10-0, 9 KOs), who recently came out (verbally) swinging after recently watching Edgar Berlanga score a KO 6 over Padraig McCrory.
With his win Saturday night, he has taken yet another leap north in the rankings as perhaps boxing’s very best at 168-pounds and certainly one of boxing’s most impressive fighters overall.
