There were plenty who, after he fought David Morrell, felt they would be condemning Radivoje Kalajdzic to the scrapheap. Although the 29-3 (21 KOs) “Hot Rod” had been stopped just once before, by Artur Beterbiev, and had won his last five, Cuban hotshot Morrell was one of the high-risk opponents many felt should be avoided at 168 or, in the Cuban’s new weight class, of 175.
