American tennis player 8-0 (in the name of Cuba) David Morrell fought Yamaguchi Falcao 24-1-1 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as the co-main event of the Gervonta superfight Davis-Ryan Garcia. Morrell’s WBA world super-middleweight title was at stake in the scheduled 12th round.
When it comes to fighting, there isn’t much to write about. That’s because Morrell ended things right in the first round with an absolutely thunderous right hook. Morrell was able to shake his man for the first time, sending Falcao tripping over the rope where he was ranked eighth. Then there’s the brutal finale, when Morrel hurls lightning at his men, connecting to the right flank and knocking Falcao down.
