Morrell To Fight In May; Opponent TBA

[_Jordan_]

If ppl here don't know Bek the bully, Morrell's next & best opp by a mile, they don't follow boxing much. This is a great fight for Morrell, assuming the rumor is correct, & the level I've been wanting to see him fight at for a few fights now.

Erik B is a ok prospect himself & I'm sure many here know him & seen him fight.

And in fairness with the Uwel guy idk about him so that opp would have been a meh selection like Morrell's last few opps have been when hes already proven he can compete vs better guys.

I mean cuz Allen was ranked # 1 by the WBA, and Aidos was ranked 2, Adbeko 10, I knew them all and I m sure you knew them too, I even knew Mario Cazares, Falcao, Gavrosky and Fox, I know you know them too, and probably people in this forum too, I mostly read YouTube videos comments and they aren't known even tho they were undefeated top WBA ranked and all of them televised, Mexicans know Cazares cuz he beat Chavez Jr and Canelo in the Amateurs and called him out, Fox fought many 160 televised dates and is 6'4", medium level Box fans don't know them.. I would also love the fight with Bek the Bully but I think Morrell will also KO him before 6 and I suspect people would say he is an Uber Driver... I think he KO Berlanga and Munguia even faster, the ones I think would hold and be competitive are Prospects that I like in 168 and Benavides, I think Diego Pacheco beat everybody but Morrel and Benavides and would be competitive with them, and Shishkin could be competitive too, if we could make Plant to fight Morrell, that would be so good for him, by the way I also think Plant beat Munguia, Berlanga, Mbilli, Scull and and all the high ranked but Diego, Morrell, Benavides and Canelo

You must be a newer fan if you value records over quality opps. I was more impressed with sexy records when I was newer to boxing too, but a record is only as good as who you beat is the thing.

And look Morrell is clearly a bad mfer, but **** measuring him vs Benavidez years ago when he was a teenager means nothing today when Morrell is in his mid 20s. Morrell is one year younger than Benavidez but more than a year behind him in accomplishments still. It is what it is.

I m not a new fan brother, I really thought that Allen would be a competitive fight and with Aidos I thought he could lose but instead he put him on Coma, Cazares hold so much and fight so tricky that I never expected him to knock him out in 1 round and also with Adbeko and Gavrosky, you seen Adbeko highlights in YouTube? He looked strong and kind of technical, he was impressively fit too, but was not even a bit competitive, that made me like him more and more to the point that it looks to me like if he would KO most 168 fighters inside 6 rounds
I agree with you with Benavides achievements, he was well managed even tho was a bit messy with the weed and weight before, now he seems focus and i love to see him fight, i want he and Morrell both to be great

Bek is one of the few names on the WBA list that I recognize, and I watch a decent amount of boxing. It's actually a good match-up because Bek comes to fight. We should expect Morrell to showcase more of his skillset against Bek.

But you know ranked # 1, 2, 3, 6 and 11 much more brother, everybody know them more I think, they got more followers and/or television exposure

We taking belt group rankings seriously now? Come on man. I think Morrell is a bad ass mfer myself, but some of you guys are on your knees in front of this guy with a great resume for a handful of fights, but a sh^t resume for a top 5 guy at the weight.

Idk wtf some of you guys are on acting like Morrell did it already. Hes got a fake belt. Hes fought guys ranked in the top 30-50 on boxrec mostly. Bek the Bully, #12 on boxrec & probably a guy just shy of the top ten for TBRB &/or Ring rankings, is his best opp by a undisputable mile.

And I'm expecting him to fook up Bek's day but y'all giving Morrell flowers he ain't earned yet by acting like hes fought real guys for a top 5 guy.

We just have different opinions and that is alright, I mean, not even different opinions in the whole, I just think Melekusiev is not a substantial step up and you think it is, he got KOed but old watched up Rosado and is 5'9", I think the fight won't be competitive, I want he fight Plant or Mbilli for people don't keep saying he beat Uber drivers, would be great if he can have those kind of fights cuz nobody is fighting a risky fight in SMW right now and the one who would do it will get a Big jump in their career

I'm operating under the assumption that the more popular names are NOT going to face Morrell, which means he'll have to fight everyone else in the meantime. As long as he's having easy nights at the office, he should try to fight every 3 months so he's less likely to leave the audience's collective conscious. If every three months, he beating someone up in a few rounds...the audience will start asking, "Why isn't he getting tougher opponents"? That's when his development of a social media presence becomes important because he can continue to apply pressure on the more popular names outside of his in-ring performances. The fans will start demanding that Morrell get better opposition.

He needs a top30 opponent like folks here mentioned. Or if that doesn't work, try to find someone with a name who is past it to generate some buzz. How about the same Gvozdyk that Benavidez is rumored to fight? Maybe Dervy, or Plant? Eubank or Jermall?

Just not another WBA warrior with a "high" ranking but are actually nobodies. Don't think any of his opponents fought in a 12 round fight before.

Cubans and uzbeks know each other quite well, they spar often, no freaking way Morrell KOs Bek

Haha And speaking of fake belts, what’s all this with guys like Andy Cruz sporting championship belts in the ring? It’s been going on for some time, but I never understood it. Boxing has truly become a clown show. I watch the bigger fights now. The window dressing is just too much.

Totally agree. It’s the only reasonable approach. I believe that a manager’s job should not only be finding his fighter high-paying fights, but keeping him motivated and sharp in-between fights. Morrell’s management is looking questionable.
