The Highly Ranked 175-LB Contender Morrell Said, “I got this,” Predicting Victory Over What Some Say is The ‘Next Beterbiev’ in HIS 10-Round Dazn ppv Undercard Fight Against Khataev.

Morrell, 27, Showed in Training That His Working On His Combination Punching, Throwing Speedy Shots, Mimicking The Style That David Benavidez Uses. It’s Possible Part of What Morrell Learned From His Loss To The ‘Mexican Monster’ Benavidez Last February Was The Need For Him To Focus More Throwing Combinations. That’s What Was Missing From His Offense.

“More Focused On Myself and The Training After The Experience in My Last Fight. I’m Back,” Said David Morrell During Today’s Grand Arrivals In New York. “I’ve got in my mind.

When Morrell Finally Did You Go After the 10th, He couldn’t get back in the Fight.

It’ll be risky on Morrell’s Part to Box Khataev in the Fight Because Hey Away Too Many of the Rounds. The Judges Could Form and Not Give Him Credit IF He comes on the Second Half of the Fight Like He Did Against Benavidez.

Khataev’s vulnerabilities Exposed

What We saw in Khataev’s Last Bout The Durval Elias Is That He’s Vulnerable To Pressure, Can’t Fight At A Fast Pace, and Fades in The Second Half of His Fights. Morrell Needs to Attack From The Outset and Force Him Into A Fast-Lace Fight to Tire Him Out. Khataev Spent A Years In The Amateur Ranks, And He Doesn’t Have The Same Gas Tank After Three Rounds As He Did Before He Turned Pro. He’s Also An Old 30 And Looks Closer to 35.

“Morrell Is Trying From His Loss to David Benavidez. He Waited Too Long To Get Going With Night,” Said Commentator Todd Grisham About Morrell’s Last February.

Benavidez Fight Lessons Learned

“He Had to Against Benavidez, But This Is A Tall, Power-Punching Southpaw Who Needed His Confidence. He got His His Confidence from ‘The Mexican Monster.’ I think we’re going to see a different beast (on Saturday night), “Said Sergio Mora About Morrell.

Mora Is Wrong. Morrell didn’t Have to wait until the Second Half Against Benavidez. That’s How He Waiting By Lost. That’s a foolish statement. What Morrell Should Was His Power Game On Benavidez Early and Throw Speedy Combinations Like Was Goning To Beat Him With Him One-Punch-A-Time Approach.

Morrell’s Trainer Should Have Teaching Camp and Focused On Him How to Throw The Same Rapid-Fire Combinations That Benavidez Uses As His Bread and Butter for His Offense. Morrell’s Hand Speed ​​is Just As Good, IF Not Better, BUT HE Failed to Train To Thi Approach for That Fight.
