Comments Thread For: David Morrell: I Want To Fight Everyone at 168 - They Just Have To Step Up!

Looks like he was using his jab purely to draw a lead from Fox to open up his defence and land his bombs. I think once he’d tuned in to Fox he didn’t need the jab. He was so much faster drawing the lead and countering. I suspect when he does want to use his jab it will be a good one - what southpaw with footwork like that doesn’t?

The jab, back in Cuba is the first thing they teach.

Ok whatever. And I'm not saying Ryder wins. I'm pretty sure he doesn't. But I can't stand fighters coming out with that ' nobody will fight me ' crap, when clearly there are plenty who will. Ryder clearly being one of them. If he's gonna fight Jacobs, do you honestly think he wouldn't fight Morrell? Laughable.

If he gets beat by Jacob's, no big deal, he was beat by a proven good boxer and ex-champ, a fighter that has fought on even terms, with the likes of ggg and ginger. And of course I suspect, more money.

I'm sure he will get beat. I don't rate Ryder. But he has balls for sure.

Yeah not saying it's a bad jab, just didn't see much of it lastnight. Could be what you say.

As for the last bolded: the ones that fall in love with their power perhaps. Not saying that's him. I just thought there was a couple sequences in the 3rd round where it seemed like him just coming in with power was a little predictable...then Fox managed to steer him against the ropes and got off with a combo and I was thinking the jab might have disrupted that and he wouldn't have ended up there. And in the fights I've seen Alantez Fox, he doesn't have much resistance but it's seems hard to make it look all that good so I'm not really putting much into it, he got him out of there so good job.

Unfortunately, he is one of these young guys who already has a trinket so even though I know he's essentially a prospect, I also have an expectation that he should now be fighting top competition. I like what I see if I have to view him as a prospect...but if I have to look at him as a champ who now has to go fight top guys then the opinions become more critical that's all

I was impressed by was his footwork, reactions and poise - never off balance and his judgement of range was spot on. I see him very much like a 168 version of boots Ennis, has the potential to go all the way. Time will tell when he steps up his opposition. Same with Boots. I think if anything Morrell’s abandonment of the jab was a case of trying a bit too hard for the spectacular finish. He was literally toying with him in the last couple of rounds even before he had him hurt.

Yup, so no doubt he had a fine one. I expect we’ll see it more as the quality of his opposition increases.

That's exactly the way I see it. Be safe

Actually he tried to make that fight first. But then changed direction when it became apparent that DeCubas was fobbing him off, as he has no real say. He's supposed to be a manager, and yet can't manage. No narrative changed here.

I know Luis personally and that’s a lie, they wanted to do the fight but Hearn is holding off but it will happen in 2022

Shut up, dummy. Why would Morrell fight Canelo? Payday! Morrell should fight Berlanga, no one cares about Morrell, his fan base is from Minnessotta of all places, and Cubans donīt support him. Morrell should fight in Havana. Oh wait, he canīt, he is forgotten there.

Somebody pissed in your cornflakes? Sound like a bitter chick that gets no play

[PBR Streetgang]

Morrell looks very good. Fox isn't great but he can be tricky with his length and awkward style. The young Cuban prospect did what he needed to do. Look forward to seeing more of him.

People just make sh^t up on this forum...Morrell is allegedly Ducking Ryder according to some of you lol lol lol

Morrell crushed Ryder within 4 Rounds EASY WORK! Respect to Ryder, no disrespect to him at all I liked him and was rooting for him vs Callum Smith a fight I thought he won, also think he can beat this Version of Danny Jacobs...but I guess he got some fans who are trying to make it see as if Morrell is afraid of him and doesn't want to fight him or something.
