Transplanted Cuban and now calling Minneapolis home, David Morrell, Jr. defended his WBA super middleweight title in spectacular fashion, icing previously undefeated Mario Cazares with a picture perfect left cross, leaving Cazares flat on his back and forcing referee Mark Nelson to wave matters off at 2:32 of the opening stanza at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Morrell, Jr. is now 5-0, 4 KOs, while Cazares falls to 12-1, 5 KOs.
“I didn’t expect that to end so quickly,” said Morrell. “I thought it would be more like a five or six round fight. However, once Cazares stepped in the ring, I noticed that he was not ready to fight on my level. He wasn’t ready for this kind of test or this level of fight.”
On the devastating knockout, Morrell said, “When I saw the opening, I took him out. When I hit him, I saw his legs wobble and I knew he was gone, completely out.”
“I’m ready for anyone at 168 pounds and now the world can see it,” continued Morrell. “I would love to fight Caleb Plant. I’m ready to fight Plant. He’s an excellent boxer, but I’m ready to go.”
