“On the night of May 4, the absolute world champion in the second middleweight will be determined”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Saul Alvarez (62–2–2, 39 KO) – William Scall (23–0, 9 KO)
Alvarez is a four -division world champion that won all four titles in the second middleweight in 2021. The Mexican continues to dominate his division, but last year he was forced to abandon the title of IBF.
The International Boxing Federation forced Saul to carry out compulsory protection against the little -known Cuban William Scall. The champion was expected to give up this pranks, left the IBF belt vacant and went to look for other options. But!
This year, Alvarez signed a financially advantageous contract with an influential functionar Turkey Al-Sheikh, who intends to organize a battle with Terens Crawford in the fall. It was for this reason that the Mexican agreed to meet with Scall – to enter the ring with four titles in September. This is if the sensation does not happen. Although the chances of winning the Cuban champion are minimal.
William never grabbed stars from heaven, but last year received a title chance that 100%used. The Cuban in a difficult duel overcame Russian Vladimir Shishkin and won the IBF vacant title.
There is no point in the chances of this match. If there are no force majeure, the audience will see a one-sided match with a huge advantage of the Mexican. In the shock power, Scall is seriously inferior to the opponent, moves worse on the legs and very badly cuts the corners. Alvarez will be much faster and more accurate in each of the episodes. If the Mexican does not force the events and work in the public, the Cuban will have a chance to hear gong after the 12th round. But no more.
Forecast Sport.ua: The devastating victory of Alvarez by points.
Martin Bakole (21-2, 16 KO) – Effe Azhagba (20–1, 14 KO)
While many people are discussing (and condemning) Bakole’s ill -advised decision to reach Joseph Parker in February this year, the boxer himself assures that he has lost nothing.
Judge for yourself: Bakole told a conversation with the influential functionar Turkey Al-Sheikh. He promised Martin revenge with the New Zealanda in the event of victory on the night of May 3. The representative of the DR Congo earlier confessed that he was offered very solid money for agreeing to take a fight with a parker on a short message.
Therefore, in this regard, the formidable boxer loses nothing. He has no chance of a full title yet, as with other cartoon weights. It is not yet known what will end with the confrontation of Alexander Usik and Daniel Duba (the trilogy option cannot be excluded). The best option is to overcome Azhagbu and beat a new Zealand in a revenge, which, incidentally, has a temporary title.
What about adzhagba? A strong boxer with a powerful blow, a good chin and a very solid opposition (Valsish, Demirezen, Kiladze, Kozhan). In 2021 he unexpectedly suffered the first (and only) defeat in his career from Cuban Frank Sanchez, but then reached the victorious trail again. He made his debut defeat for promising boxers – Stephen Shaw and Jean Koxon.
Boxers can be considered approximately equal, but Martin still approaches the future duel with a favorite. He has a very powerful blow and a solid Jeb, which he scares opponents to keep that at a convenient distance. Yes, Azhagbu also cannot be called wicked, but his arsenal is inferior to Martin.
We are waiting for an interesting and probably spectacular confrontation, in which much will depend on the shape of the representative of the DR Congo. Bakole is one of the best overweight boxers with a solid potential that can become a world champion after the Usik is leaving. But it all depends on its physical form and motivation. If everything is fine with that, then EFE is at risk of not waiting for the last round. However, it is not possible to deduct from the bills, one accurate blow to the overweight weight can solve the result of confrontation.
Forecast Sport.ua: Victory by Bakole Knockout in 5-6 rounds
Bruno Surach (26–0–2, 5 KO) – Himime Munggia (44–2, 35 KO)
Surache became the author of one of the most powerful sensations in the boxing world last year. The outsider, who was not given a chance, knocked out their favorite Mungiah in the eyes of the Mexican public. Underestimation? Is Bruno’s level much higher than experts and fans expected?
Knockout Munge has been a shock for all boxing fans also because the Frenchman has never been famous for his strong blow. It has a decent technique, moves well on the legs, but never had a one -time powerful blow (five knockouts for 28 fights).
Munggia is extremely necessary not only to win the opponent, but also to do so confidently if he intends to compete in the near future for the title of World Champion in the near future. In the last three duels, the Mexican was defeated twice – in addition to Surache he lost Saul Alvarez and won Eric Bazinian.
We will not reduce the merit of Surach, but at the moment it seems that the reason for his sensational victory is a very serious underestimation from the former ex-champion. Mungia has already stated that he would prove his strength and will overcome his opponent. To this end, he even changed the coach – now he works as a team … Saul Alvarez, who has lost earlier.
Mungia should win ahead of schedule, given its knockout power, excellent speed and ability to cut corners. Surach should be betting on counterattack throughout the distance and be careful. Standing from Himime in an open box – how to shoot yourself.
Forecast Sport.ua: A confident victory of Munggia (knockout in the fourth round)
