Comments Thread For: Matchroom finalizing Callum Smith-David Morrell, Subriel Matias-Dalton Smith with Turki Alalshikh/PBC

This is a guy with 13 pro fights — a warrior, a man who wants to make his mark.

Yep...Morrell was a stellar amateur which is why his career's been fast-tracked in the pro's (just like an extremely talented soccer player get's promoted to the first team early). I think Smith is a VERY winnable fight for him and if Beterbiev retires and Bivol moves up, he's probably the next best fighter in the division after Benavidez.

One thing's for sure, if he continues impressing in tough fights like he has done recently, Turki will continue to give him opportunities as he's EXACTLY the type of fighter he loves.

Agreed to all. Morrell obviously has some serious upside. How far he’ll go is, of course, yet to be seen, but the potential is clearly there. David’s fighting spirit is, by now, pretty evident; that’s something every fight fan can get behind. It’s just great to see some skilled fighters willing to mix it up.

Puello got robbed so that Turki can provide Dalton Smith with a more favorable style on November 22nd.

Even-though I felt Puello did enough to win, Matias was also fighting in NYC. I assume fans were reacting more to Matias' work than Puello's.

NYC has a huge Dominican population

I'm aware, but how was the crowd? I normally watch fights on mute. If Matias was getting more reaction, that could've swayed the judges in a close bout.

Why would I think about this unprovoked? Oscar De La Hoya, a rival promoter is known for rectum play. Lets put two and two together Huevon.

Calling somebody huevon yet you copy and pasted the same comment fvkcing idiot

Probably. That was the one fight I missed from that card, it started earlier than I have anticipated.

Matias was dead on his feet after Round 7 and walking into every counter Puello threw. The problem with Matias's cyborg style is the fact that it's not sustainable for 12 rounds.
