Big Fight Weekend
Cuban Born Morrell Missed Weight Friday For PBC Main Event
By
Cuban-born Super Middleweight
David Morrell was to have defended his interim WBA title in the main event in Los Angeles Saturday night. But now, his fight has been reduced to a non-title 10-round affair after he missed weight Christmas afternoon.
Morrell, who now lives and trains in Minneapolis is only 3 – 0 as a professional and he was slated to battle Mike Gavronski for 12 rounds in the main event of the Premier Boxing Champions on Fox card Saturday night.
However, at the Friday afternoon weigh-in Morrell was more than 2 lb. over the 168 lb. limit, and the fight was then reduced to a 10-rounder.
