David Morrell asks for purchase against undefeated light candidate for heavy weight I have Khataev next Saturday night, 12. July Dazn ppv In Queens, New York.
Although this is not the world title eliminator, still in question, especially Morrell (11-1, 9 KOS), which releases the loss and cannot afford to suffer another one. The loss here for Morrell would forced him to make a difficult decision on his career.
The winner of this fight will probably ignore and avoid a unique Champion Dmitri buffalo. But they will be able to pick up the belts as they take away from the buffalo one at a time.
Morrell is ranked # 2 VBA, # 2 VBC, # 3 VBO and # 8 next to the ring. It has athletics and technical skills to increase what some fans marked “next Beterbieva”. He will need to understand the right game plan to use and adjust if something doesn’t work.
Khataev’s strength and weaknesses
In Morrell’s loss decisions, David Benavides last February, he waited for too long to adapt and fell too far to compensate for lost land. Khataev (10-0, 9 Kos) has better power than benavidez and is equally aggressive as it was. What he lacks is speed, endurance and mobility. It’s something younger fighter, Morrell, 27, can take advantage.
In the training clips, Morrell was seen to bounce around the ring, reminds of the British combat Ben Whittaker, boxer who lost Khataev at the Olympic final of 2020. Years. Whittaker made it harder that Khataev lands more than one impact in any sequence and neutralizes his power.
Morrell showed in his last fight and many others to have the power to act and beat Khataev in her game by let him go with him. If Morrell is ready to go to war with him, he has an offensive armament to carry and throw it out.
In the last fight of Khataev against Zastria in Journe Durval Elias Palacio, he was shelled combinations late in combat. There was a sequence in which Palacio appeared near to achieve knockout after the Khataev marked with an eight-time combination fire, with each landing footage. Khataev looked in bad condition, his eyes were stripped and a face that was wearing from a heavy skin he took.
If Morrell and Khataev were more familiar with fans, their fight would probably be placed in the 12 card. July, because it promises to be more fun than two of them.
