    Why are people bringing up a well schooled, technically skilled young fighter with power in both hands?

      I’ve seen conflicting reports too. Would love to see him turn pro.CubanGuyNYC do you have any info on this?

      JCLC hasn’t fought in months, not sure what’s happening with the amateurs being allowed to go pro. It always felt kind of weird tbh.

        That hasn't fought nobody and has 8 fights. He's green and shouldn't be in discussions for megafights and be taken seriously. Anybody that know's anything about boxing (you don't) knows bringing up a fighter too fast can ruin the product. David Reid, Vargas, etc.

          I saw a clip of Andy training, to the best of my knowledge he defected.

                I didn't get the Morrell hype until I saw his last fight. I think he has a lot of talent and he has a good corner behind him

                  Do you know who benavidez fought in the first eight fights? Don't answer, I'll tell you, The combined record was, 3W-13L, Somehow he picked it up on his next 8 fights, the combined record was, 117-58, so let's do the math 16 fights the opponents were 120W-71L against Morell jr. opponents record, not close don't you think so? Now he last 11 fights he's been tearing up the cover, lemiux, gavril(twice), ellis, angulo, love, who else belongs in that murderous row? Oh, plant. Common man, who else Morell jr is going to fight?

                    Preach, brother! Lol Never ceases to amaze me how many “fans” don’t get how modern records are padded. I can’t claim to have seen every Morrell fight, so I don’t fully understand the level of his competition; but aside from his first victim, every one of David’s opponents had a winning record — most had impressive-looking records on paper. Of course we won’t know how good Morrell really is until he fights top guys, but it’s easy to see why he looks so promising. Can’t wait for his next outing on the 22nd.

                      Cuban professional athletes should be praise, not hate. They don't understand how hard it is for them just to defect, and is harder to adapt to a new culture and country, without family support. Be safe brother.
