John Hedges vs Pat Brown for British & Commonwealth cruiserweight titles set for Sept. 19 (DAZN)

This isn't only an intriguing Brit power vs Brit slickness match up, both of which are obviously the gold standards, but it's also a match up between two pugilists who feature in Serge's official P4P most handsome boxer rankings. Handsome gypsy boy Hedges cracked my top 10 years ago and if Brown pulls off the win on Saturday night he'll likely crack my top 10 too which will no doubt be a big incentive for him

I got Brown via stoppage but Hedges is a tall and tricky skilful boxer and even though he has a low KO% I think he hits a bit harder than his record suggests and he could prove to be a tough night's work for Brown if he can take the power and take him into the second half of the fight, that's a big if though

I don't read anything into Hedges' poor performance in his debut he was 18 y/o then and that was down at 168 and he's improved and filled out and grown into his frame now

 

Brown will demolish Hedges

 

Aries (Hedges) usually destroy Scorpios (Brown), but the power disparity might be a little too much for Hedges to overcome here. It's kind of a pity, because Aries and Scorpios get along swimmingly, and they'll probably end up being good buddies. Look at Pat Brown and Dave Allen, they're buddies!

 

Yes, Hedges also has a good looks advantage in addition to a superior star sign one which is why I feel reluctant to write off his chances but ultimately I think Brown's power advantage coupled with good skills of his own and how well he puts his shots together will be too much for Hedges Aries + good looks advantage to overcome.

Yes, both seem like good guys and I think they already like each other
