The loss of Benavidez de Morrell

Morrell (11-1, 9 kos) seeks to bounce off his unanimous loss of decision of the 12 rounds to David Benavidez on February 1. He must show in his fight against the heavy and unbeaten weight contestant Khataev (10-0, 9 kos) who has learned from his defeat in Benavidez. Morrell made mistakes in this struggle by not letting his hands go, standing on foot in front of the volume Puncher Benaviez and fighting in Spurts.

Despite his loss, Morrell is classified in number 2 WBA, #2 WBC and #3 Wbo. This fight against Khataev is vital to the 27 -year -old Cuban Morrell to prove that he has the talent to be a maximum fighter in 175. He has the youth, but the mental defects he showed against Benavidez could retain if he is not able to learn from them.

Khataev: Next Artur Beeterbiev?

The 30 -year -old Russian Khataev is seen by some as the following Artur Beeterbiev With his heavy hands, the punch and the non -stop pressure he makes to his opponents. Khataev has this style Beterbiev that he could be a nightmare for Morrell, unless he can hunt and move the way Ben Whitaker made in his victory of his three -round decision on him in 2021. Morrell has the advantage of power over Khataev, but cannot coincide with his departure.

Since becoming a professional in 2021, Khataev has faced a weak opposition and has defeated everyone but one of them. He has qualified #6 IBF, #8 WBC, #10 WBA and #15 Wbo. It is a great step for Khataev to face Morrell after the ten low-level fighters that the promoters have equalized, but has the amateur experience to win this struggle. As an amateur, Khataev had a 90-23 record. Twice defeated the Olympic Gold Medalist Arlen Lopez by a majority decision of three rounds by 2023
