Morrell vs. Khataev: Ex -champion aims to victory of return and dominant statement to Queens

David Morrell says he is fighting against the 2020 Olympic imam “Bricks” In his fists for his ten round struggle scheduled on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.

Morrell vs. Khataev preview

Morrell (11-1, 9 kos) wants to prove that his doubts are making a statement against the undefeated khataev (10-0, 9 kos) in his struggle. Morrell vs. Khataev will pass Dazn PPV As part of a loaded card that Turki Alralikh put.

Some boxing fans believe that the world champion of two Morrell divisions is made and is no longer seen as one of the main players of 175 after his loss to David Benavidez last February. In this struggle, Morrell had a wrong strategy to deal with Benavidez’s great volume crime.

The way of winning would have been to go after him soon with combinations with all the power. Instead, Morrell focused on boxing, loading with specific features and allowing Benavidez to accumulate the rounds with a high exit.

Khataev has the same style of style without stopping as Benavidez, although he is slower and focused on power with his traits. If Morrell has not learned from his loss to “the Mexican monster”, he will lose it.

Khataev’s unbeaten record

Khataev’s opposition has been so poor since he became a professional in 2021 that it is impossible to know if he is good. We know he has a 90-23 record for fans, but he has not fought against a talented fighter since 2021, when he lost to Ben Whittaker. At this time, Khataev’s promoters should already have intensified it against world-class opposition, as it has an Olympic experience.

“I’m going to hurt something,” David Morrell said in a statement on his fight against Imam Khataev on July 12. “I know Khataev is strong and unbeaten, but he hasn’t been there with this version of me. It’s good, yes, but I’m better. I’m faster, I’m smarter and I’m fighting with bricks in my fists.

“A victory here? Man, changes everything. I put me back on the map. All the most important boys will have to look at my way again,” said Morrell.

Benavidez loss lessons

A victory for Morrell could change things for his career, but he must look impressive. You can’t hit as you did in your loss in front of Benavidez and get out of the struggle with your actions. He must show that he has learned with this loss and can let his hands go more so that he does not throw enough punches.

The warning signs were already there for Morrell when he fought Radivoje Kalajdzic last August. It made this struggle more difficult than it should have been when not jumping.

When Morrell let his hands go early, he had radivoje wounded and ready to be stopped. But he did not track with a constant attack. The model was already there about stopping it with the way Artur Beterbiev removed him. Morrell did the opposite, choosing to throw timely shots and dance on the outside.
