David Morrell today has made its great arrival today for its light fight against I have Khataev this Saturday, 12. July, in Queens. Morrell (11-1, 9 Kos) stated that “more focused” after correcting mistakes he made in his last fight and plans to use what he learned to beat Khataev (10-0, 9 KOS).
Morrelli’s grand arrival of insight
High rated 175-lb Konfekcija Morrell said, “I got this” Predicting victory over what some say is “next Beterbiev” in their 10-round secret fight against Khataev.
Morrell, 27, was shown in training to work on his combination, throwing fast shots, imitating the style that David Benavidez used. It is possible that part of what Morrell learned from his loss in Benavidez “Mexican” Benavidez, was the need to focus more on combinations of throwing. That is what disappeared from his criminal offense.
“More focused on yourself and training after experience in the last fight. I came back,” David Morrell said during the day Grand Doliv In New York. “I have everything in my mind. It’s about getting ready for it. No disrespect for my opponent, but I did,” Morrell said, they predict the victory over Imam Khataev on Saturday.
What was clear that he watched Morrell’s last anti-benavide performance was that he took over too long to switch to plan B when he was behind early in competition. It was supposed to be a switch after the third or fourth round when Morrell ended up in those noise rounds.
When Morrell finally went after Benavidez in 10. He could not return to the fight. However, when Morrell showed his power, he had a great influence on benavide, which was knocked down and took a lot of sentences in the last nine minutes. Looks like he was beaten at the end of the 12th round of the harder shock of younger blows, stronger Morrell.
Morrell’s winning strategy
“I just have to do what I do best. Be me and I went on. It was always crucial for my success,” Morrell said.
It will be risky that Morrell’s part in boxes in boxing in battle because they will give too many circles. Judges could form their opinion and do not give him a loan if he entered the second half of the fight as well as against benavide.
Khataev’s vulnerabilities exposed
What we saw in the last side in Khataevo against the Blint of Elias Palacio is that she is vulnerable to the pressure, can’t fight quickly tempo and fades in the second half of his fights. Morrell had to attack Khataya from the beginning and made him in a quick fight to tire him. Khataev spent a lot of years in amateur ranks, and he doesn’t have the same gas tank after three rounds as before he turned the pro. It is also 30 and looks closer to 35.
“Morrell tries to refuse from his loss to David Benavidez. He was long waiting for that night,” said Todd Grisham about Morrel’s loss last February.
Benavidez is fighting with lessons learned
“He had to anti-benavide, but this is a high, punching of power that he had to get his confidence. I think we would see a different beast (Saturday night),” said Sergio Mora about Morrell.
It must be wrong. Morrell didn’t have to wait until the second half against Benavidez. That’s how he lost to the wait. It’s a stupid statement. What Morrell should do has used his game power to benavide early and throwing fast combinations as it did, because he won’t beat him with his one blow.
Morrell’s coach should have seen that in the training camp and focused on how to learn how to throw the same combination of fast fires used by benavidez as his bread and butter for his offense. Morrell’s manual speed is just as good, if not better, but it has failed to train to use this approach for that fight.
