David Morrell says he should have been using his “leg work” and “head movement” more effectively after losing to David Benavidez in February last year at the T-Mobile arena. The former world champion with two Morrell divisions (11-1, 9 KO) made a mistake, waiting too long before he finally set off on an attack against Benavidez in their lightweight heavyweight competition.

When Cuban poured him slow, he dropped Benavidez on the 11th, illuminating him with huge arrows on 12 .. When the fight ended, “Mexican monster” He looked beaten Around the face and exhausted from difficult shots, with which Morrell hit him in the last two rounds. At the end of the fight, Benavidez’s facial features resembled a 100-year-old man.

Benavidez: costly lesson

When you look at what Morrell did to Benavidez in these two rounds and extrapolar it over what he could do, the fight would end quickly if he fought more aggressively.

The fight was an example that Morrell did not know his own strength and did not operate his natural power and advantage of teenage people against Benavidez to try to take it out in the first half.

Learning this fight, 27-year-old Morrell will return to the ring in an unspecified order, fighting for an undefeated pretender until 175-Funts Imam khataev (10-0 (9 KO) On July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Up-to-date York. Morrell-Khataev will fight Undercard of the Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz.

To avoid losing another fight for not using his Power game, Morrell must attack Khataeva, not to mess and wait too long, just like against Benavidez. Morrell also made the same mistake, fighting passively in his clash Radivoje Kalajdzic In August last year on the Turki card Alalshikh at the BMO stadium in Los Angeles.

When Morrell attacked Kalajdzic aggressively early with a combination, he wounded him and approached his detention. But then he returned to shooting individual shots, dancing unnecessarily, allowing Kalajdzice to achieve moments of success and pass a 12-round distance.

Beterbiev BluePrint for Morrella

In retrospect, Morrell should have been tracking Artur Beterbiev BluePrint Attacking Kalajdzic in the whole style, throwing combinations without a break, buried him with pressure and maintaining a quick pace. The same approach would also work for Morrell against Benavidez. Morrell must operate Beterbaview for all his fights, because this will work for him in 175 to defeat fighters such as Dmitry Bivol, Benavidez and Artur. Morrell never overcomes fighters such as Bivol and Benavidez, trying to box like in February last year against the “Mexican monster.” It’s a waste of time.

However, unlike the previous headliner Morrella against Benavidez, his fight with Khataev will be buried four times on Undercard rock bottom cards. It must be a arduous pill for Morrell, because if he fought with Benavidez, attacking him tooth and nails, Cuban style, probably knocked him out. Then he managed his card in a rematch with Benavidez or against one of the best rivals. Life would be different.

Undercard Blues

  • Edgar Blangga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz: Main event
  • Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda: Co-Fauna
  • Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias: for Puello’s WBC 140-LB Title
  • David Morrell vs. Imam khataev

Challenging pill to swallow

“Every time you fail, there is something that you look back and think you could change,” said David Morrell BoxingsceneThinking about his defeat against David Benavidez in February last year. “I feel that I could better operate my legs and maybe a larger head movement.

“I know it brings robust power. Imam khataev On July 12 in his Podardowa fight in Queens, Up-to-date York. “I hope to fight at least twice before the end of the year.”

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
