What has been said?
“David Morrell, I think, is pound-for-pound quality, and I think everybody in boxing knows how good he is,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “He’s probably vastly avoided, and ‘Hot Rod,’ if you’ve ever seen him fight, he never stops coming to war.”Morrell will open up a lot of eyes with his performance on August 3rd against ‘Hot Rod’, and he could steal the show from the main event clash between Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov. “Morrell, moving from 168 to 175, we’ll see how that works out for him. But ‘Hot Rod,’ a good, strong, honest 175 world-class fighter that will test David Morrell,” said Hearn.
When Morrell fought at 168, he looked like he was ready to fight at 175 in his last two contests. His power was enormous and was destroying his opposition too easily.
