Mexico City, Mexico.- The Cuban boxer needed two minutes David Morell Jr. to ratify himself as world champion of super middleweights, of the World Boxing Association.
When the attendees at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada were just beginning to watch the match, the Cuban delivered a right hook that ended up in the face of the Brazilian Yamaguchi Falcao. That was enough to defeat him in the first round by knockout.
From the first seconds the superiority of the Caribbean was visible. David started the fight very active and went against Falcao. That’s how he managed to hit him several times before the Brazilian fell to the ground without being able to recover.
In this way, Norrel achieved victory without having known defeat in the ring and extends his winning streak to nine in the same number of bouts. Eight of these fights ended by knockout.
