Morrell just got stopped!

[dannnnn]

Holy s**t. He was clean out, too.

I thought Morrell lost to Khataev, but I never would have predicted him to get left slumped by a British-level fighter. I'd still like to see him in with Callum Smith though.

I'd say there's between a good 0 and 0.00001% chance that fight ever happens.

Smith would even do it better than Chelli. I don't think Morrell could handle Callum's combo counters. Chelli's powerful, single flying punches are what did it for the English boxer.

Ultimately, Morrell has been mismanaged, and I don't necessarily think he should have left 168 on the chase for Benavidez.

In boxing terms, he's still relatively young so he has a fair chance at rebuilding. But, I think he needs to sit down and contemplate a new team, strategy, and developing discipline. Dude has all the talent and athleticism in the world but is too "dumb" for his own good. I will be rooting for him.

I rewatched the Kataev fight. I don't think he lost that. He came back from the KD and beat the hell out of Imam, with the latter's biggest punches blocked.

speaking of Imam he needs to fight again too

Even though he lost most of the rounds I was surprised at how easily he blunted Morrells offense. He (Morrell) never landed with regularity or landed anything big really did he?

Only 28 but for me, he is done. His talent was never a question but he's genuinely one of the dumbest fighters I can recall. I don't know how you come out of the Cuban system with 150 amateur fights, win two titles yet somehow have no ring IQ?
I think he almost has all the tools he just has no idea wtf he is doing with them, its bizarre.
He should be using his feet & working behind the jab instead he's up close doing the Ali shuffle or has his ear muffs on and is stood inviting David Benavidez of all mother****ers to unleash a 19 punch combination on his completely exposed face he is sticking out there. Is he genuinely r3t4rded or something?

No idea how he can go toe to toe with Benavidez then get stopped by a school teacher. Boxing is wild. Morrell is definitely one of the strangest fighters in recent times. Has it all but sort of sucks.

Or maybe he was never good? Lmfao you losers hyped him up cause the medals and being Cuban so he was some A level talent. The guy had like 5 fights against nobodies lmfao

He was trash and hes your daddy's top three wins for elbowvidez

[RockyKO]

He just needs a new team. Someone who knows how to build a fighter from scratch and he can slowly rise through the rankings. He has all of the tools in the toolbox but you have to put everything together. I question if his corner knew what they were doing. If they were giving him good instructions then he wasn't listening or they didn't have a good game plan. I know his manager was much more interested in making a buck or two than seeing him succeed. He has way too much raw potential to go wasted. Another thing, he tries to dazzle the crowd and seems more interested in looking good than winning the fight. He has to cut that s h i t out if he wants to improve.

Styles make fights. Benavidez forced him to fight for his life.
