Liam Davies vs. Ionut Baluta & Anthony Yarde vs. Stefani Koykov RBR.

I didn't foresee a shutout, would've been an unreasonable expectation, but I thought Liam would win and I think he did enough. His boxing never fell apart under the same pressure that has upset a number of his UK/Éire peers. Even when he held his feet and traded, he did so judiciously and with discipline, tending to punctuate the exchanges.

He faced a good boxer in his last bout. This was a different kind of test, but just as valid. Davies might not be a future worldbeater, and the lack of power will be an issue, but he's progressing decently for now.

 

Davies-Cain would be an excellent domestic rumble.

 

Davies would win pretty comfortably on points to be honest. I would like to see either of them fight Shabaz Masoud too, I think Davies is the best of all of them at the weight.
