“The first time I saw a video of David Morrell fighting, he was 17 years old
and competing against the 2 time gold medal winner De La Cruz. Having worked
with 23 worlds champions including Roberto Duran, I knew David was going to
be a great one. He continues to show why he is already capable of competing
with the very best in the world.” Quote from Warriors COO Luis DeCubas, Sr.

Even though the fight took place at 170 lbs., Morrell Jr. will remain the
WBA Interim Super Middleweight World champion.

Morrell, who only accepted the fight on December 4th, did not want to pass
up an opportunity to headline on a major network. Morell – Gavronski was
scheduled as the main event. Morrell and his team had informed event
organizers that there was a possibility that the fight would need to take
place above the 168-pound limit, as he was not in training camp, and had
only three weeks to prepare. A new agreement for an 170-pound bout was
consented to by all sides.

Morrell will continue to campaign in the hotly contested super middleweight
division, he will look to fight any of the top contenders.
