WBA interim super middleweight champion David O. Morrell Jr. (3-0, 2 KOs) will face Mike Gavronski (26-3-1, 16 KOs) in the 12-round main event on FOX December 26 from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
The broadcast will also feature the return of renowned knockout artist James Kirkland (34-2, 30 KOs) dueling hard-hitting Juan Macias Montiel (21-4-2, 21 KOs) in the 10-round middleweight co-main event while unbeaten young rising star Jesus Ramos (13-0, 12 KOs) battles Naim Nelson (14-4, 1 KO) in a 10-round super lightweight bout that will kick off the broadcast.
This young man Morrell who won the WBA interim title in his 3rd fight is good. 130-2 as an amateur and two gold medals in 2016 should be exciting to watch.
The way they are matching him shows a lot of confidence. I good measure of a prospect is how the management moves him. They know he can fight.
Morrell vs Gavronski will be a very good fight, two tough guys.
Kirkland should stay retired!
Kirkland was at his best when Wolfe took him in and made him focus as a fighter. A while back, I do know Kirkland had some legal issues where he was busted with a weapon in his possession under a disability. Hopefully he has improved his life by now.
Good competition matches!!! Fire out of the gate!
