    You can see the Marvin Hagler influence on Azeez. This is a good performance so far, disciplined. Deployed as they are , Azeez would win most of these rounds all night - it will remain the same until Azeez gets fatigued (and assuming Faure isn't) or until Faure does something to change up the pattern.

    Faure sets out to outfight his man in the final thirty seconds though - and I think a huge effort shades him this round.

    Faure lans a heavy shot right after the bell, Azeez unfazed, cracks him with a hard right. Azeez doubling up with the left hook, Faure blocked both. Azeez jabs to the body, then lands a left hook to it. Azeez lands right and walks into an uppercut. Faure puts his head down, whips in a hard left hook to the body of Azeez. They both start trading landing hooks, Azeez lands 2 hard rights.

    The French guy has no muscles. That's a big negative usually.

    Azeez has narrowed his stance up in the fifth a bit, dominates the first round with a zinging right hand that has lost no vigour with the work-rate. Faure seeking the corners like he might bea ble to hide, then moves on to the next one before he can get pinned. Better work from Faure with a minute remaining but he doesn't have the power to keep Azeez off him I don't think. Same goes - Fuare is getting broken down but is not yet distressed and he's shipped quite a lot of punches. Bad round for the Frenchman!


    Azeez:1,2,3,5,
    Faure:4,

    They trade, Faure gets the worst of it, eating a vicious straight right. Azeez backing him into teh corner, Faure digs to the body in an attempt to get him off. Azeez snapping his head back with more jabs, ushers him back into the ropes, a hard right buckles the knees of Faure. Looping right grazes the top of Faure's head. Hard one twos raining down from Azeez. Looping overhand bounces off the cheek of Faure. Faure lands a one two, Azeez going to the body. Faure stunned late with two rights.

    He’s not bad the French dude, but the lack of power is something that will stop you from progresssing.

    Azeez winging a bit with the right - feels ready, I think, to land the heavier puncehs. Faure outworks him in the middle of the ring with good punching combos, but Azeez does not give ground and punches back. This is interesting - Azeez is now doing what McGirt does not want him to do and settling into the middle of the ring for infighting. Is the combo of looking for harder punches and moving inside part of a plan? Or is Azeez's discipline sliding? Right hands push Faure back though, a breakdown in effect. Referee looking. Slsashing overhand right, straight right, upppercut, Faure standing and fighting, gets turned off the ropes, he might make another round. Brave from the Frenchman! Outfights Azeez and forces him back into the corner fo the first time. Brave boy. Great round.


    Azeez:1,2,3,5,6,
    Faure:4,
