Tony Victor James Yoka vs. Armand Carlos Takam & Thomas Faure vs. Daniel Azeez RBR.

French do have either the best or second best national anthem IMO.

 

UK has taken a big dip now it is King not Queen IMO. I do like the US anthem, too. I think I'd go 1) Russia 2) France 3) USA.

 

Faure has a deep guard and a high guard, but Azeez is out to "touch" him here, quick, scoring punches - and a very nice right hand to the body. Faure doubling up the jab upstairs wants to be busy - lands a nice uppercut and ships a left hook, this id very decent, high pace, both looking to score rather than hurt probably, bit of the ams about it. A very good round Azeez scores with a meaningful right hand to the head in the final thirty seconds to maybe shade it for me.


Azeez:1,

Round 1: Faure, 10-9

 

Good advice from McGirt, he has read this fight right. He's worried about the uppercut. Either way, Azeez opens a little more carefully, he's not rushing his work and he's trying to stay out behind that jab. Good short left hand is the result. Faure, too, has slowed down, maybe because he is not being rushed and cannto work inside but Faure looks disorganised going away through the first half of the round. Azeez has taken short term control of the fight, interesting to see what Faure comes with next - good left hook is the answer, but Azeez is untroubled. Faure has done well in the second hlf of the round, landed a good uppercut, but Azeez is not left behind and is bagging the aggression points.

This could get close-but-wide.
