OVER/UNDER | Over 10.5 rounds (-290) |
MONEYLINE | Dan Azeez (+300) |
If you look at Azeez’s results lately on his record, he has been a lot more active than Buatsi. This Azeez vs Buatsi bout is going to be decided by who shows up on Saturday night in the best form physically and mentally.
Buatsi’s out-of-the-ring issues have been making UK boxing headlines for years now and it has become a factor in his performances now at the age of 30, assumingly. Boxing events like this one are what make the sport so great and make the UK domestic boxing scene thrive to this day.
This will be a big event for these two and it will come down to who will remain focused and implement their gameplan throughout 12 rounds of action.
The better athlete is Buatsi, but we are taking Azeez to outwork him and steal and break him down as the rounds go on.
