Manager I have Khataev, Jim Cambosos, discovered the size of the ring, for his fight against David Morrell next month in his 10 round light group at Louis Armstrong in Queens, New York.
Khataev-Morrell: 18ft ring was confirmed
Jim is glad that the ring will be 18 feet, not standard 20 feet, because it will not allow fighters on the card to “run”. It is unclear how to help the unbeatored Olympic Bronze Medals Khataev (10-0, 9 KOS) (10-0, 9 hp). High rated 175-lb candidate Morrell is not a runner, and will not be difficult to find. He will stand and fight against Khataev.
Morrell vs. Khataev is part of the event 12. July Turki Alalshikh Dazn ppv. The card was leaning Edgar Berlang against Hamzah Sheeraz.
18ft annular influences Stevenson, Zepeda
Reduced 18-Ft Ringisize for this card will mainly affect Shakur Stevenson, which defends its VBC light title against volume and Villium Zepeda in co-function.
Stevenson is expected to move a lot in that fight. But with the ring is smaller, there will be so much real estate for avoiding zepeda. The Turki said this week that they would not support runners at their seasonal cards. He wants fighters that bring action. Again, that directive affects Shakur, not Morrella, which is a big blow and famous for twinkle.
“I’ll tell you one now. I’m careful I have Khataev. And I just signed a promotional agreement about I have Khataeva,” said Jim Cambosos FighthipeHe talks about his wrestling, I have Khataev, who was 12. July took over David Morrella.
Russian Khataev has a lot of power and is classic under pressure. His amateur credentials speak for themselves. Fought at the highest level. As a professional, his style is more suitable for this type of fight because he could have transferred his opposition to pressure. Morrell will have to fight him than he did in the loss of David Benavidez last February to win him.
“I will tell you one thing that has changed, and I do not violate my confidentiality or privacy agreements in the contract,” Cambosos said. “But I agree with his Excellency (Turki Alaleshikh), because that ring is reduced to 18 ft. Not 20 ft.”
Morrell’s style in a smaller ring
Jim should not assume that the ring of smaller aid in Khataevo will in this fight, because he does not fight novice. Cuban Morrell can do everything Ben Whittaker did when Khataev was beaten at the Olympic Games, but it is a big shock. If Morrell deals aggressively as if he had done it in the past, it would be hard on Khataev to hold without a fight that stops at cutting or swelling on the eyes.
“BeCause Guess What? We want to see Fighters Fight. And I’m Really Happy That The Ring for July 12th Is An 18 X 18 Ring, Internal, Inside The Ropes. That’s Going To Make Guys Fight, Not Want To Run, and Use Basically Every Inch Of The Ring. We’re Down To An 18-Foot Ring Now. I’m Really Happy About That BeCause My Guy (I have Khataev) is a pressure guy, “Said Cambosos.
