After defending his title with a TKO4 against Kalvin Henderson, WBA super middleweight champion David Morrell declared his intention to face the best at 168-pounds. “It’s David Benavidez, it’s Caleb Plant, it’s Anthony Dirrell, it’s whoever wants to get in the ring with me,” said Morrell. “I’m ready for any of them.”
[On the fight with Henderson] “I want to thank my trainer Ronnie Shields, who did an excellent job today. That’s what our game plan was, to be concentrated and if I didn’t get him by the end of the first round, I was looking to get him in the later rounds.”
Henderson stated, “We knew that he wanted to come out strong like he did, but we wanted to show that his punches weren’t doing anything. We were picking off most of those shots. We were trying to wear him out, and the game plan was working but he landed some shots and the referee called it.”
“Im ready for the best” – Anthony Dirrell. Haha
Well he can only name the fighters his promoter is connected too
What other makable fights are there for him at 168? Canelo is booked to fight GGG and probably doesn’t fight again in 2022.
Morrell looked powerful but slow, against any one with speed he’ll lose for certain. I don’t believe that Henderson was a worthy opponent… Morrell will never do well against the top contenders or other champions. To me, he is a “one time wonder” just like Buser Douglas…
Morell needs to fight top opponents such as Benavidez, Plant, and Charlo. The problem is that PBC will not let their boxers fight other promoters boxers. David Morrell is a potential star, so PBC is bringing him along slowly.
who is morrell just someone pbc is trying to promote he could be ok fighter till he gets in with real competition
