Comments Thread For: Callum Smith-David Morrell set for April 18 in Liverpool

If it's early in the year to shake off ring rust. I say it be pretty good for Bivol, as he have enough time to settle for the other bouts if he wins without issue.

Think fans will move on quickly that he isn't prioritizing Beterviev, or Benavidez or any other notable fighter if he gets that out of the way.

It's a good fight for the division, glad it's signed. Bivol may as well vacate the IBF and fight Beterbiev again. I can only imagine the holdup for Bivol - Eifert is lack of broadcaster interest.

That would be funny but honestly Bivol vs Eifert is less interesting than Smith vs Morrell so yeah make them fight on some undercard.

thank Allah for Big Mooslem Turki

Turki pays you for major fights and despises these sanctioning bodies with their weak ass mandos

If you asked me 18 months back I'd have laughed and said Morrell by brutal K.O, no doubt.
Now I am not so sure.

I thought he looked horrible vs Hot Rod, despite success vs Benavidez the game plan was horrendous, he got a gift in his last fight granted the guy popped for steroids but I didn't think he was anything special at all.
Morrell has a lot of tools but is very low IQ. He never fights to his strengths or best interests.

I'm actually a fan but truth be told he's a ****** fighter who will go out and stand right in front of Smith trading hooks, giving him his only real chance to win.

Cuban Dave wants to brawl it out like Mexican

but lacks that pocket fighting skillset

entertaining outside of the ring because of how emotional and wild he gets

but it works against him inside the ring
