HOUSTON, TX – Undefeated super middleweight, David Morrell Jr. (6-0, 5 KOs) has fired back at David Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) over his comments that followed after his fight with David Lemieux this past Saturday on Showtime. Benavidez referenced Morrell Jr., Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo as bitches, and vowed that he would knock everyone out.

“I ain’t no bitch and you’re going to find out,” stated Morrell, who holds the WBA's "regular" title at 168-pounds. “I’m from Cuba and I’m not afraid to fight you. I've beaten bigger and better fighters than you. So right after this fight I got coming up, get your ass ready.”
