My jaw dropped seeing those last 40 seconds of the final round. He already rocked Morrell the round prior, but I didn't think he would get the stoppage. Figure Morrell would dance around just enough to get to the cards where he was clearly up despite not looking at his best.
All the credit to Chelli who showed up on a moments notice to face Morrell. Talk about a life changing win. From school teacher to #2 ranked in the world now? Wasn't that Morrell's ranking?
Morrell has a lot of raw potential but his team doesn't look after him. Instead of building him brick by brick they throw him in the ring with Benavidez on his 12th fight. I know he has a lot of amateur experience but he needed more time at the pro level before he started fighting top competition. I think he can still do it but he needs to hit the restart button and get rid of his team.
He's also too flashy in the ring. When he needs to bite down onto his mouthpiece and go to work.
