Shots fired! Morell aint scared of the so called 'mexican monster' ,fight needs to be made but question is...will haymon allow it?not so sure but begging to be wrong on this one

Another loud mouth Cuban what's new. We all know how they end up at the end.

Benavidez carves him up nicely.

And how do they end it up? Like mantequilla, ray leonard, olivares, duran, hearns. 99% of boxers ends bad. So what's your point?

[garfios]

This is more likely to happen than anyone else in Benavidez's hit list.
Why, because the others just don't have balls big enough to **** with the Mexican ****er.

Just wondering where this Morrell fella been hiding all these years. Is he fighting Benavidez
because he's desperate, tired of being inactive due to too much cherrypicking? Casuals barely know this fella.

This fellow is 24 years old and was on the shelf for about a year because of visa problems after he defected. Casuals can't know him because he's only 5 or 6 fights into his career.

What’s with these Cubans lately? Lol Dudes are talking mad shit. But I like Morrel. I think this kid has a future. Would love to see a Benavidez showdown.

They tried the shy way, doesn't work.

Morel certainly passes the eye test,in a pure boxing match I think he wins but if it turns into a fight I'm not so sure. I have never seen Morel face adversity, so I don't know how much heart he has.

I think Morrell is the best talent to come from Cuba.
Rigo was small and old, and while a phenomenal athlete his drawbacks were his lack of strength and punch resistance. Gamboa was highly untechnical for Cuban standards and very chinny. The best overall package has been Lara but Lara has been a very shy puncher at times and he doesn't have a one punch ko power.

Morrell on the other hand is an amazing talent, amazing technique, very strong physically, quick, power puncher, very mean and most importantly for a Cuban fighter, young.

Benavidez's best punch on offense is his jab and his best counter punch is his left hook and against a southpaw these two punches could be easily taken away and Benavidez has already fought a southpaw, check the tapes and let me know how good his jab was against a lefty.

You said it, young, that's the new wave of Cubans fighters, younger, less rooted with the amateur program, and more ready for the professional rank. Guys like Scull, Gomez, Ariel Perez, Bruzon, Pero, and another 6 boxers that left the youth Cuban team in Dubai, all share that common trait of youth. Lara is a bulldog, he just needed to find a dancing partner, like hurd, perro, castano, or even Williams. All others were easy fights for him.

I don't like Perro, sooner or later he gets destroyed. Joe Joyce stopped him pretty bad in Rio. At least he's better than his younger brother who is still in Cuba. Bruzon is a tough guy with limited skills set. I don't know Perez and Scull. Gomez might become better than his dad. David Morrell is like 50 levels above these guys. Even Gomez as athletically gifted as he is Morrell is a very special one.

Is it possible to unify secondary titles? I wanna say no but I cant remember. That's the only road block I see for it not happening.

Weren't WBC and WBO proposing to unify "interim" titles @ 168?

This guy Morrell is talking real ****y and zesty. I just know I wouldn't miss that fight for the world, and would do everything in my power to be in that arena and seated up close

Carlos Molina was no easy fight for him and I think edged him out. It was cool seeing Molina flip the table on Lara.
