Undefeated WBA super middleweight champion David Morrell Jr. will now face Olympic bronze medalist and slick-boxing Yamaguchi “The Problem” Falcao in the co-main event of the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia Showtime PPV production taking place Saturday, April 22 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Falcao replaces Sena Agbeko, who was originally scheduled to face Morrell but was forced to withdraw after not being licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Surely they could have someone better then a confused 35 Brazillian with a Japanese first name
Like the USA, Brazil is a melting pot. Even though English is not their language, they have native Americans, ex slaves, and European settlers. Including former Nazis. Orientals also emigrated to Brazil and other parts of Central America & South America.
Native Americans? Ex slaves? Nazis? In Brazil? You’re the kind of person who just talk somebody’s ear off about something that nobody thinks is true but then you say it with such conviction, and you probably get into a fist fight with them if they told you that you were wrong. Yeah, you’re that guy.
Educate yourself it will do you well.
America is not only the USA. South AMERICA have plenty of natives.
Brazil was built on the enslavement of indigenous peoples and millions of Black Africans.
Brazil took between 1,500 and 2,000 Nazi war criminals, while between 500 and 1,000 settled in Chile. Nuff said!
What a great News lol boxing will become great again with fights like this one !
With fighters like Morrell, boxing will be great again. It’ a pleasure watching him perform his craft and he does it with style. Whether he can fight the same away against stiffer competition remains to be seen, but he’s been pretty spectacular so far. I know there’s tons of people out there who like to not give him any credit. I truly question if those people know anything about boxing at all. Based on many of the negative comments I’ve read about Morrell, I’m leaning towards no.
Boxing is probably the only sport in the world where you can learn a contestant is not licensed to compete a week before a major competition. Why was Abbeko not licensed? Falcao is probably a more recognizeable name, but Agbeko was coming off a nice win against undefeated prospect Isiah Steen. Morell will get to showcase his skills to a bigger audience and become a major player at 168 after he easily dismantles Falcao. We all know the WBA belt he holds is BS, but all he can do is beat the people they put in front of him, which he’s done quite impressively fight after fight. At this point, the only challenges I see for him in the division are from the elite 3: Benavides, Canelo, Plant.
I want to thank Fightnews for promoting me to Regular Champion. I will wear this belt with pride.
Now back to Morrell. Even though I detest MN and the crimes that prevail, I respect David Morrell. I think he is a very good fighter, and will have no problem defeating Falcao. Is Morrell ready for Canelo or Cocaine David? No. Will he beat either? Probably not. But this fight against Falcao should be easy work.
European settlers, hunh? Interesting…but don’t talk about black history because it may upset the “settlers”…lmao…sorry couldn’t help it. As to the fight, looking forward to a great night of pugilism.
Hand feed bums every fight. Morrell Jr will never step up.
