David Morrell, Jr. W12 Lennox Allen... The Fox network returned to boxing for the first time since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. At the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Cuba's David Morrell, Jr. (4-0 including the World Series of Boxing) won a unanimous decision win over Guyana's Lennox Allen (22-1-1, 14 KOs). In just his third pro fight, Morrell went the distance for the first time and outworked his opponent through the middle and late rounds, on his way to a 207 to 90 advantage in punches landed. The early action saw Morrell establish his body attack, while Allen looked to setup big counter right hands that he threw often.

 

As the fight wore on, Morrell's relentless attack wore down Allen, who seemed to lose some of the power on his punches that he needed to change the tide of the fight. Allen continued to push and tried to rough Morrell up on the inside to find a place for a counter and his own body attack.

 

Morell continued to put the pressure on in the closing frames, hurting Allen with power punches in both hands during round 10, although he was unable to score a knockdown. After the 12 rounds of action the judges all saw the bout in favor of the 22 year-old Morrell, by scores of 120-108, 119-109 and 118-110. With the win, Morrell captured the WBA interim super middleweight belt with the win.

 

Omar Juarez W6 Willie Shaw In a 140-pound six rounder, Omar Juarez (8-0, 4 KOs) prevailed by unanimous decision over Willie Shaw (12-2, 8 KOs). Juarez looked to stalk the evasive Shaw early, who moved around the ring seeking a counter opportunity against his aggressive opponent. Shaw had some success using his boxing skills, but as his movement decreased, Juarez was able to cut off the ring and land effectively. After six rounds, Juarez was able to outland Shaw by a mark of 61 to 38, and his higher output and superior accuracy earned him the decision from the judges by the scores of 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56. source for both results: pbc
