I think Callum Smith has enough nous in his game to get the decision here especially if he can turn up on his best day. I was really impressed by his performance against Buatsi in which I thought Buatsi would win but Morrell is a completely different fighter. Morrell has looked iffy in his last 3 fights when he stepped up in competition.
Morrell just got his ass whooped by Imam Khataev and got a gift. He knows he lost. His confidence will be low after that. Smith is not in his prime but is still good, and should still know too much for Morrell.
Morrell looked underwhelming last fight, but that was mainly due to mental reasons as I think he has all the talent and tools to be a top fighter. Regardless he is going to beat the crap out of callum smith and stop him. I always found it laughable how so many still think he is a top fighter, when he has only ever proven to be euro level imo.
What are people seeing in Callum Smith that I am missing? He is C level. If ever there was a confident building fight for Morrell to take this would be it. Smith will offer no reistance.
If Morrell doesn't stop Smith, I'm off his train completely. He really seemed to lack confidence in his last fight compared to the fighter before Benavidez. I hope we see the old Morrell. Smith really is the perfect opponent for him.
