Comments Thread For: David Morrell Jr. To Face Sena Agbeko In Last Showtime Championship Boxing Main Event 12/16

Like HBO, Showtime is going out with an embarrassing card.

Fitting.

This is just sad

I’m okay with this as long as Morrell gets an actual name fighter in 2024. Whether that’s Benavidez or someone else, just put him in with someone that’ll add some extra shine to his fists.

A least you're not asking for Morrell Jr to pad his record before challenging the upper echelon, which to me is not that crowded, canelo, benavidez, Morell jr, andrade and the prospects like mbilli, shiskin etc.

Why is Morrell scheduled to fight Agbeko who wasn't allowed to fight him back in April due to an MRI detecting a brain abnormality?

And do you think mbilli or shiskin people would take the fight?

Who knows probably not but with canelo holding all the belts it's not like there gonna get a title shot anytime soon so I like the idea of these top contenders fighting eachother

@ this point it should be belts or names only building a resume worthy of the talent level(eye test)

Go ahead Morrel, keep fight this top notch high caliber opponents to a road to fight no body! This fight sucks!

I'm with you, but the alphabet soups are not going to pressure ginger to fight his real mandatories. Corruption at the higher levels.

It's a stay busy fight so is what it is. But I'd of rather seen Morrel fight somebody like Vladimir Shiskin or Mbilli who are all two undefeated highly ranked super middleweights but can only fight who's willing to take the fight

Mbilli is fighting next month or else I would have preferred that too.

Well, there's only one belt holder at 168, to whom Morell is a mandatory to. But he's still somehow not mentioned as an opponent.
