Calvan Henderson is one of David Morrell’s knockout victims who suspects something is up in their fight. He has come out of the woodwork to complain about his doubts about him and that he suspects there was something wrong with the absence of a drug test for his fight in 2022.
Henderson (19-2-1, 13 KOs) was knocked out by Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) in the fourth round on June 4, 2022 at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He said there was no drug test for the fight, and he thought something suspicious was going on. Although he has no proof and is guessing, he thinks something is up.
Morel looked thin in the fight and didn’t look like anyone using PEDs, but Henderson is still suspicious. Another of Muriel’s knockout victims, Sina Agbeko, has recently spoken out about her suspicions of him due to his lack of drug testing. Even though he has no proof, he is still talking.
Henderson believes WBC interim light heavyweight champion David Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) will defeat WBA ‘regular’ champion Morel in their February 1 fight because he says he is bigger and His ability is better. They are the same size, but oh well.
“Superman” Muriel? Henderson is skeptical.
“I went to Muriel’s other house in Minnesota. No one else wanted to fight him. I had a great game plan. I felt like the fight was stopped early. The guy was. [Morrell] Win the fight? Yes, but we had a game plan for the deeper rounds,” Calvin Henderson said Fight hypeStill bitter about his fourth-round TKO loss to David Morrell two years ago on June 4, 2022.
“I’m catching him with body shots, and I’m hearing what those body shots are doing to him. I knew he was going to slow down eventually. This fight was supposed to be a drug test. was, and we both signed the paperwork for him to be drug tested. We fight in the locker room, and the WBA forgets to order the drug test.
“So, that’s another thing. We’re not just fighting politics. We’re fighting a potentially dirty fighter in Muriel…after the fight, there’s been no drug test yet. Something’s wrong. Superman only exists in comic books,” Henderson said when asked if there was something ‘fishy’ about David Morrell.
There was nothing “Superman” about Morrell scoring a fourth-round knockout of Calvin Henderson. He backed him up against the ropes and nailed him with several hard punches. The referee noticed that Henderson was taking some wicked shots and stopped them.
He would have suffered if he had allowed Muriel to continue bludgeoning Henderson. There was too much time left in the round for the referee to continue the fight.
“These guys have a lot of money behind them, a lot of money in things out of their control. So, of course, they’re going to be put in the best position possible,” Henderson said. “Hey man [Morrell] The night of the fight was bigger than me in the ring. Warriors know. Before the weigh-in, he was drinking Gatorade before stepping on the scale. Something is wrong.”
It’s a big reach on Henderson’s part that Morrell weighed in drinking Gatorade to conclude he was using PEDs. This is strange speculation on his part. He’s drinking Gatorade; Therefore, he is dirty. It doesn’t make any sense, but if you’re trying to understand why Muriel hit you, you’re going to have to find something instead of accepting that you weren’t good enough.
Will Benavidez beat Morel?
“I think Benavidez is going to beat Morel on pure size and ability. Benavidez threw hard for 15 rounds straight. So, I think his constant pressure and non-stop [punches] This fight will make a difference. I don’t think Benavidez’s strength will carry over to 175,” Henderson said.
The colon is a bit confusing. Benavidez is no bigger than Morel, and his stamina at 175 is no better than his at 168. We saw Benavidez’s last fight at 175 when he was knocked out after six rounds against Oleksandr Govzdik. Morel has a four-inch longer reach than Benavidez, punches harder, and has better hand speed and technical ability. You wouldn’t expect Henderson to know the details between Morel and Benavidez because he’s a fighter and doesn’t analyze fights like writers do.
“At 168, he was huge. Some people called him a ‘weight cat,’ but at 175, it’s a natural weight class for him. So, I think you Benavidez and Morel will see longer fights, probably, even in that weight class, because of the bigger guys,” Henderson said.
Things are going to be very different for Benavidez at 175 compared to his days at 168, where he routinely capitalized on his mix of old, weak and woefully unfit opposition. The promoters pitched him against 28. In the first 29 fights of his career.
You can’t blame ‘The Mexican Monster’ Benavidez for choosing to stay at 168 for so long because it’s allowed him to build a career that wouldn’t have otherwise been there if he’d fought where he was supposed to. Should have been at 175 after. In 2013 Prof.
If Benavidez had fought at light heavyweight, he probably would have been beaten many times by now. He will be just one of the pack, with other contenders such as Joshua Bootsy, Willie Hutchinson, and Oleksandr Govzdik.
