This should be a good test for Morrell, if he wins he should challenge the bigger well known names.
Sly Aza Fox is a decent, capable contender, but he will look like he doesn’t belong in the ring with Morrell. Morrell just as a whole bag of tricks that most fighters can’t deal with, and I don’t think Fox will either. To what level Morrell can continue his dominance remains to be seen, but I think it will be on display tonight.
I don’t know how competitive this fight will be (and ignoring the title on the line) but, at least on paper, a 5-0 prospect taking on a guy who has 28 wins from 32 fights, has fought a world champion and a few other good fighters and is still only 29 years old, is damn respectable. And Fox is lanky and awkward as hell also – probably not another fighter with as many fights between 160-168 would take this fight.
Glad Alantez msde weight. Otherwise Dave would have said ” for Fox sake”.
