David Morrell vs. Yamaguchi Falcao Stats: Age, Height, Weight, Reach, Net Worth, Record, and More

The co-main contest of the Garcia-Davis fight would be fought between reigning WBA (Regular) Super Middleweight champion David Morrell and Yamaguchi Falcao, the challenger. Reportedly the match was supposed to take place between Morrell and Sena Agboko. But a rejection of Agboko’s license by the Nevada State Athletic Commission resulted in his being replaced by Falcao.

Come April 22, the world will see one of the most significant fights of modern times between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. The two archrivals have been literally at each other’s throats for some time. Finally, they can settle their argument at Nevada’s T Mobile Arena. But the night offers fans a chance to see other talents who would be fighting as part of the co-main event and undercard fights.

Let’s look at the personal and professional details of the two boxers.

David Morrell vs. Yamaguchi Falcao: Record and prediction

Born in Santa Clara, Cuba, on January 18, 1988, the twenty-five-year-old Morrell turned professional in 2019. So far, the southpaw, a gold medalist at the 2016 Youth World Championships in St. Petersberg, has participated in eight fights and has yet to face a defeat. Out of the eight, seven victories came his way through knockouts. His knockout-to-win rate currently stands at 87.50%.

On the opposite end, Yamaguchi Falcao Florentino was born in Sao Mateus, Brazil, on January 24, 1988. Like Morrell, the thirty-five-year-old is also a southpaw. Nevertheless, he started an outstanding amateur career that saw him win a bronze medal during the 2012 London Olympics. His other accomplishments include winning a silver medal during the 2011 Pan American Games and a bronze medal in the 2010 South American Games.

He has more experience regarding the sheer number of matches he participated in. Debuting on January 25, 2014, he has fought twenty-seven times. Out of the twenty-four wins, ten were won through early stoppages. On May 2, 2019, he lost his first professional fight against Christopher Person. The second match of the year against D’Mitrius Ballard ended up in a draw. At 37%, his knockout-to-win rate falls way too short of Morrell’s.

While experience is definitely on the Brazilian’s side, it should not give him an impression that Morell would be a complete walkover. Most followers may not have forgotten what happened during the latter’s last bout. The November 5 bout ended on a tragic note when the severe punishment during the match led to the hospitalization of his Kazakh opponent Aidos Yerbossynuly.

As far as the net worth details of both the boxers are concerned, they remain unclear, and any attempt at putting a figure would be pure conjecture.
