What happened during the undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia?
Before the main event, David Morrell provided a major highlight as he knocked out Yamaguchi Falcao in dominant fashion to remain the WBA super middleweight champion.
From the onset of the fight, Morrell launched power shots at his Brazilian opponent. He hurt Falcao with a left uppercut, then downed him with a right hook. Falcao managed to get up and beat the count, only to eat another right hook and fall onto the canvas face-first.
After the fight, Morrell called out top middleweight contender David Benavidez. Benavidez, who is currently the WBC interim super middleweight champion, is expected to face Canelo Alvarez in a unification bout.
In other results, Bektemir Melikuziev and Elijah Garcia notched unanimous decisions over Gabriel Rosado and Kevin Salgado, respectively.
Who are the most well-known NFL players to have dabbled in boxing?
Quite a number of NFL stars have dabbled in boxing, usually after their careers ended. For instance, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, considered one of the best defensive linemen to ever play the game, boxed early in his life, and even briefly retired from the NFL to fight professionally six times. He credits his time spent boxing with developing his football career, as he reached three Pro Bowls after his pro stint.
Most recently, NFL running backs have had a penchant for taking up the gloves once their career on the gridiron ends. Frank Gore competed in the undercard of one of Jake Paul’s fights, and he is unbeaten as a pro. LeVeon Bell has also participated in the sport, knocking out fellow former RB Adrian Peterson in the fifth round of an exhibition contest before going 1-1 as a pro.
