LAS VEGAS — David Morrell, who wants to fight a big-name super middleweight next, made his case by destroying Yamaguchi Falcao in the first round to retain the WBA “regular” title in the co-feature of the Gervonta  Davis-Ryan Garcia Showtime PPV undercard Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Morrell, who retained  the secondary 168-pound belt for the fifth time, barely broke a sweat in slicing through late replacement Falcao and then calling out David Benavidez.
