There was a lot of bad blood going into Benavidez vs Morrell and the winner opened up a little bit after.
Benavidez is a serious guy when it comes down to it, relaxed and light hearted but a serious hitman when it comes down to it in boxing.
“It is not fake (the words before the fight) I did want to knock him out I did want to break his face but after fighting a guy for so long (over 12 rounds) the anger kind of goes away (laughs).”
Both men’s faces were battered after the fight tonight.
Tremendous scrap for fans in America and around the world this weekend — big respect o both boxers.
