If Morrell is going to stay at 175, I'd like to see him against maybe a couple of the lower-end top twenty guys first. Get some rounds in. I think any one of those guys should offer enough experience to take Morrell the distance, and that's what he needs most.Comment

Power was why David won the fight. Fights are scored by effective aggression, ring generalship, defense, and hard and clean strikes. The shots Morrell landed were far more impactful than the arm shots with no weight transfer landed by Hot Rod (who nonetheless gave a good account of himself), and that's the biggest reason he got the nod from the judges. Judges who love Shakur style might have given the win to Kaladjzik, but more favor the guy coming forward and landing the harder shots. That's part of why it's such a delicate balance to be the boxer on the outside as your style.Comment

I'm with you, but Morrell Jr has a much better and deeper foundation than Anderson. I think this fight will motivate DMJ, while the lost could discouraged Jared, hopefully that wouldn't be the case.Comment

Hot Rod is no soft touch. He was beaten by Beterbiev but he most definitely beat Marcus Browne. From what I recall, he knocked down Browne and wasn't awarded the KD...conversely, Browne was given a KD that wasn't really a knockdown if my memory serves me right.Comment
