Ronnie Shields believes that his ward David Morrell (10-0, 9 KO) is ready for a fight with David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs).
The last boxing night to be shown in the United States by Showtime will take place on December 16 in Minneapolis. The main fight of the evening will be a fight between the regular WBA super middleweight champion David Morrell (9-0, 8 KOs) and Senoy Agbeko (28-2, 22 KOs).
This year, boxing fans are unlikely to see a duel between Saul Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) and David Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs). The American team, despite the submission of an official offer to the Mexican for a fight in September, eventually changed their plans.
David Morrell (9-0, 8 KOs) continues to easily defeat his opponents, despite the increase in the level of opposition, and challenges David Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs). In the weight category up to 76.2 kg, all four championship belts belong to Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs). Morrell is his mandatory challenger for the WBA title, while Benavidez is his WBC title.
"Regular" WBA super middleweight champion Cuban David Morrell Jr. (9-0, 8 KOs) knocked out the bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympic Games Brazilian Yamaguchi Falcao (24-2-1, 10 KOs) on the undercard of the Davis-Garcia evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
