Last night I ran across a little interview with David Morrell that was conducted ringside at the Edgar Berlanga fight. The audio was bad — the crowd was drowning out much of the questions and answers — but David was clear when the interviewer asked him about Berlanga. He said it would take him “one round” to dispatch Edgar. That may be a little bravado, although Morrell seemed quite confident, but I can see him taking Berlanga out by the fifth round.
I meant it cuz people often tell me: why don't he fight Munguia, Berlanga, Andrade?!
is cuz Munguia and Berlanga are Golden Boy Promotions, Andrade dont wanna deal with Morrell
but they don't believe me
People love to make up narratives to make themselves feel better for why their favorite fighters aren't chasing the smoke. Bottom line is, if they fight whoever is in front of them and don't turn down fights, I'm not going to give them flak for resume, because you can only fight the guys who sign on the dotted line.
Yeah, that's the general consensus it seems. "We don't want any of that young killer."
But Andrade made an entire career out of avoiding top guys. No reason that would change after getting wrecked when he finally stepped up.

Lol Probably not. He’s literally never been in the ring with someone as good and hard-punching as Morrell. And those punches would be coming in bunches. But all this speculating has gotten old fast. All these guys need to fight each other already. Let the “0” remain with whomever is most worthy.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Kudos
Berlanga wouldn’t know what hit him lol
It’s one thing punching the bag , it’s another when there is resistance

I believe Berlanga’s power, but you’re right: it’s another thing altogether when the return fire is powerful. McCrory was a powderpuff. Guys like that can be buzzed through. Morrell, not so much.

One round is exaggerating but two would be right
Berlanga has nothing and im also not so impressed by his power
Let’s see him showcase that power when there is decent return fire

I feel like I see guys like Morrell and Ennis outside of the ring more than inside the ring lol
Inactivity is killing careers and the sport ...........
Yes I’m aware of the dodging that was
But now he says he’ll take the fight and Morrell certainly ain’t getting Benny
You know all are chitting on Canelo but Benny has got to prove himself again now that he ain’t getting Canelo
I just want a SMW tournament. Let's see who wins
SMW lacks depth. There's a lack of formidable gatekeepers and journeymen. Just a bunch of undefeated contenders getting by on the 'eye test'.
They should start fighting each other.
brother have you seen Rozier(Andrades trainer talking about if Andrade would fight Morrell Jr?

Morell jr say if benavidez doesn't fight him he will go after mbilli. Keep in mind that mbilli was the mandatory for Morell jr, and for some reason he went another way, just like when ryder was supposed to fight the Cuban. In any case if both of them wants the fight, the will be made

A least he was honest, he doesn't want to deal with another killer.
Yes brother, I wish every team would speak the truth so we wouldn't have to speculate
At this time the most realistic fight for Morrell is Plant cuz is a PBC fighter but I m afraid that Plant may be hurt psychologically and another KO loss would hurt his career badly, specially since he have huge possibilities to beat everybody else in the division aside of Benavides, Canelo and Morrell, I also like Pacheco, he I think is gonna be as good as Banavides and Morrell, he would KO Berlanga, Mbilli, Bazinyan and Munguia for sure, that dude Sishink is also very good and would also beat Berlanga I believe
It seems that getting someone in the ring with a good prospect nowadays is very hard. Specially if they don't see a ch1nk in their armor.

Just cant Stand Rozier
But I know that Mbilli said he would take the fight if it was offered to him
Said it after his last fight and I never an interview I saw

It was Morrell Jr the one mentioning mbilli, in the interview after his agbeko fight.

Sorry ain’t gonna watch the video , I tried but he gets under my fughin skin
Rozier is an idiot , sorry to say so and very hypocritical
Just see what his stable of fighters have done with him and how long they lasted
Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy tells his fighters before going in the ring that they have no chance
Smfh
Minute 12:05, he only talk for 10 seconds about Morrell
